 " What is being missed here is the fact that it wasn’t that Shaun Kenney met with some people in his office that has added so much fuel to the already raging flames between the differing factions in the Republican party, it goes back to Mr. Kenney’s article from a while ago where he called those that didn’t see eye to eye with him on his ideas of immigration reform “nativists” and outreageously said that they needed to get out of the Republican party. That is absolutely what has caused more than a little stir. 

Mr. Kenney’s article was posted on the Daily Caller yesterday, along with direct quotes from that article. Brian Shoenman’s recent article titled something like the Nattering Nabobs of Nativism was also linked, along with his comment where he claims that “he too is trying to get rid of the new generation of those that were wearing white sheets 50 years ago. ”

 This has now hit WMAL talk radio. This morning the question was put to the listening audience as to how those felt about a guy, Shaun Kenney, who is now the face of the Republican party in VA, calling those that don’t agree with him on immigration reform nativists, and that they need to be purged from the party. Fair question to be sure, as the words are Mr. Kenney’s. The DC article was also linked at WeaselZippers website.
It wasn’t bad enough that those flames were already raging, Mr. Kenney was a guest on the Charlottesville Coy Barefoot talk show at just after 4 PM. He did nothing to walk back his nativist comments, he doubled down on them. He again repeated that those that didn’t agree with his position on immigration reform were nativists who function from anger and animous, and I quote “they need to get out of my party.” He talks about those that see some as “the other” clearly implying that those that do not agree are racists. Then he goes on to say that his job is to grow the Republican party in VA. Yet he just told a huge number of those already in the party to get out and leave.
It’s unfortunate but I do believe that Mr. Kenney will in fact get his wish. So to will Mr. Shoenman who had the temerity to call those that disagree the KKK. Apparently Mr. Shoenman doesn’t seem to remember that it was in fact the Democrats that started the KKK, Jim Crow laws and who stood in the school house doors all those years ago.

I humbly have a suggestion to make. When you are already in a deep hole, stop digging"

Yes, We Know it's all True... DUH

Bearing Drift gets defensive   and takes a page from the liberal playbook and  ridicules then demonizes it's critics.
Still no mention of Shaun Kenneys debacle....  Brian Schoeneman fly's in to do his bit in the comment section

Did Shaun Kenney Purposely destroy Tea Party Candidate Corey Stewarts Bid for LT Governor??

                             

      It sure seems like he did. .....Remember when Shaun wrote this article...
COREY STEWART ENDS HIS POLITICAL CAREER

  Shaun Kenney should have been thrown out of the Republican Party! Not appointed to head it

Brian Schoeneman tries to explains his "INCOMPETENCE"

With Republicans like Shaun Kenney who needs Democrats?

Shaun Kenney On the Run

Shaun Kenney is getting the kind of attention he's wanted all his life. Unfortunately,  he's not getting it for the reasons he's hoped for.

Daily Caller

"Virginia Republican Party executive director Shaun Kenney was a “no show” to conservative host Laura Ingraham’s radio program Thursday.
Ingraham was prepared to question Kenney about his statements that conservatives who oppose amnesty are afraid of “The Other” and that “nativists” should be driven out of the Republican party. Kenney made the statements in an office meeting that included former SEIU secretary-treasurer Eliseo Medina."

Laura Ingraham    
NO SHOW!

Very Cozy 

Quite Frankly, Brian Schoeneman is a Embarrassment

       

       Evidently, anyone who wants our immigration laws to be enforced is not only a racist but, according to Brian Schoeneman, a bunch of "Nattering Nabobs of Nativism"

Brian Schoeneman, Shaun Kenney's flying Monkey and defender of RINOs across the state of Virginia, shows exactly who he is and what he stands for......Be Sure to read the Comments below the article to get the full picture of what kind of men are in power in the Virginia Gop. 

Boycott the Virginia GOP until all these immature, petty little boys are gone from it ranks. Send them to the democrats where they belong.

The Virginia GOP's War on their members

In a desperate attempt to hold on to their power the Virginia GOP has had a concerted effort to marginalize the Tea Party and define them as "Radicals" "Racists" & "Nativist" ( ask Tito Munoz and Shaun Kenney what that is) they've had their online GOONS harassing & bullying tea party members in blogs , on facebook and at GOP meetings. I say that Virginia Tea Party Americans should take the hint and accept the fact that we are unwelcomed in today's Republican Party of Virginia. We should stop supporting them with our time and money and come election day we should stay home.

People like Brian Schoeneman , Bill Bolling and Shaun Kenney have said that tea party people are to RADICAL for the GOP, they have said that we scare independents from joining the party. So then,why should we stay where we're not welcome? Let them try to win elections without us. NO DONATIONS, NO VOLUNTEERING, NO VOTING.

Signed,
John Galt

No Shaun Kenny, we need MORE John Galt

The following is from Carla Harris' facebook page and it is a sad reminder of what the Virginia GOP has become. The people in power,in a desperate attempt to hold on to their own power, are forcing out good people who have dedicated their time and money to the state of Virginia

An open letter to the Republican Party of Virginia, members and leadership:

Having served as the Emporia-Greensville Republican Party Chairman since 2000, I have diligently worked for the people of Southside Virginia, the Republican Party of Virginia, our candidates and guiding principals for nearly one-third of my life and dedicated myself to advancing and enhancing our local and state parties.

In those 14 years, I’ve watched the party I love and help build go through many changes. Because of the current direction the Republican Party of Virginia – and much of its leadership – is taking, I issue my resignation tonight, effective immediately. I will not participate in the negative behavior and culture that has taken over and cannot sit quietly while our party implodes. Therefore, it is best for me at this time, to resign and take a break. And even though I will not miss the chaos, I am saddened about the circumstances that have made this necessary for me.

I wish you all the best in the future and hope you find your way back to the conservative path laid out for us by amazing leaders like Ronald Reagan, John Dalton, Bob Dole and resolve to return to our days of greatness.

Some in our party will worry little over the loss of a dedicated, long-time chairman. However, what you should be concerned about losing --- is my vote.

May God bless and guide you. God bless Southside Virginia, God bless our Commonwealth and God bless America.

With warmest regards,
Carla Cash Harris
Chairman, Emporia-Greensville Republican Party
2000 – 2014



This was Shaun Kenneys response to her on her fb page...
(Shaun Kenney) well, for one I am very sorry to read this... but understand why you (and others) feel this way. the door is always open. I know guys like Carl Tate and others exited and decided that those negative voices weren't going to push him out, and Carl jumped right back in like a hero.

we need more heroes and less John Galt... and when you're ready, there's a place at the table, Carla.
