College Republicans vote to impeach group president following bake sale
http://www.pennlive.com/newsflash/pa/index.ssf?/base/news-36/1141912756220880.xml&storylist=penn

Kutztown (PA) University's College Republicans voted to impeach the club's president amid controversy over the club's Feb. 8 anti-affirmative action bake sale, but the president said the impeachment vote was unconstitutional.

In the bake sale, club members hawked cookies and brownies at prices that varied according to the buyer's race to bring attention to what the group felt was unfair college admissions and financial aid practices for minorities. White men were charged the most and African-American women the least.

The way club President Mark Prinzinger handled resulting criticism and his refusal to mend fences with minority student groups "summarized an entire semester of poor leadership," spokesman Adam LaDuca said.

Dominic Burlark, a junior, until recently the club's only black member, will serve as interim president until the end of the spring semester, when a president will be elected for the 2006-07 academic year, LaDuca said.

Prinzinger, who is Korean-American, said the vote violated group bylaws and he would continue to plan events and lead meetings. But LaDuca said, "Dominic is our president. Whether Mark likes it or not, that's what the general membership feels."


LMAO!!

4. "An entire Semester of Poor Leadership??"

This guy definitely has a future in the gop. Just like bush. They do get their panties in a wad don't they? I would suggest they relieve some stress by joining the Army, go to Iraq and slaughter some innocent "raghead motherfuckers" in Fallujah. But that would take testicles.

"The President (young republican) said the impeachment vote was unconstitutional." GOP Leader in training.

5. LOL!!!
"his refusal to mend fences with minority student groups"
So they spat in minority students' faces, and now they want to blame their elected head loony that minority students are cheesed off. So much for that party of personal responsibility.

"Dominic Burlark, a junior, until recently the club's only black member"
Jeeze, you'd think black students would be flocking to join their little klavern and fight for the rights of white folks (snicker).

7. "Prinzinger, who is Korean-American"
I wonder if he realizes that he's considered a minority?

8. They're STILL doing this???
I thought they stopped this a year or so ago. Many College GOP groups were caught using these tactics.
