It's time to meet a candidate for chair of the RNC!

I’ve always been involved in politics. And I guess it goes all the way back to my school career and education. I, in the 1960s was a product of school segregation, where we took our schools and completely disbanded them, and made racial equality. Fifty-Fifty. And the kids had no choices. They closed Booker T. Washington, Blease, down here. A pretty good school. Closed it and sent the students to A. C. Flora, across town. And they did it over the summer because the laws had been changed by the politicians. And, the day that school opened, we were on CBS news with the busses turned upside down, and one of them lit on fire. By folks who didn’t want to go to school there. Not folks who did.

The end of that story was, I was standing in a bathroom in public school... This scar over here was from a baseball bat. I will tell you it was a pretty harsh environment. Government reached into my life and grabbed me and shook me at the age of fifteen. I remember how blatant it was that government just thought that they knew better, that government just thought they knew better what to do in my school. And I can’t say it was so much racial. I can say that people had a lot of stuff thrust on them because politicians thought they knew better. Whether they did or didn’t, I don’t know. But from that day on I’ve always been politically active, and wanted my voice heard. Not always right. And my opinion is not always consistent with everyone else’s. but I care greatly about the State we live in, and greatly about the idea of freedom.

1. Racist

I thought the R in RNC stood for ................................ no, "Racist" makes more sense.

I wonder how this guy took time out from his cross-burning to write this inspired little piece of crap?

4. I just threw up a little....this is from his website:

On Halloween night 1964, Dawson was just 8 years old when his mother drove him to the downtown auditorium in Columbia, South Carolina, to hear Ronald Reagan stump for Republican presidential nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Dawson was a flag-bearer on that historic evening and was honored to meet Reagan that night. “I remembered I wanted to be part of that excitement from that day forward”' Dawson told the Associated Press in a 2007 interview.

Dawson went on to volunteer for President Richard Nixon and coordinate Students for Gerald Ford at the University of South Carolina. Dawson was member of Young Professionals for Ronald Reagan. Dawson was a regional captain of then-Gov. George W. Bush’s 2000 presidential campaign. Dawson also served as co-Chairman of South Carolina’s delegations to the 2004 and 2008 Republican National Convention and President of the 2004 South Carolina Electoral College.

I wonder what his Halloween costume was back in '64? White sheets, maybe? And...I'm sorry... KATON?
