"So wonder what we could do to get young people interested in the Republican Party," said Melman. "How about mock assassinations?" chimed in Morgan Wilkins an eager intern.
Though this dialogue is fictitious, the resulting stunts to attract young voters at The University of Michigan are not. Fun With Guns, a Republican Party event lets young people use BB Guns and Paintball Guns to assassinate leading Democratic figures. Not funny? I didn’t think so either.
Additionally, in another brainstorm worthy of the Bush administration they held a "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" day at the school. Great fun? Yea, really separates the mean spirited kids from the rest, exactly the kind of voter the Republicans want.
This kind of crap makes me cringe. It exemplifies the spirit of much of the GOP platform. Calling it mean spirited is mild, it falls more into the realm of sadistic, and I mean that in a bad way. Needless to say, Democrats are not happy.
