New Mexico RNC Committeeman Is Custer's Last Fan

[tabaqui]

A RNC National Committeeman told Governor Susana Martinez's staff that her agreeing to meet with Native Americans is disrespectful to the memory of Col. George Armstrong Custer, the infamous cavalry officer who killed thousands of Native Americans in the 1800s, according to emails obtained by ProgressNow New Mexico.

Dude's dead. Move along now.

This goes for all those dead dudes Republicans seem to idolize (coughcoughreagancoughcough)

Pretty sure Custer dishonoured himself from the beginning with his shitty tactics:

So indigenous people are still the enemy? Very revealing.

So, when are members of the RNC going to call Southerners who revere the Confederacy, traitors, and how they spit on the memory of all the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War? Oh right, they won't.

They are too busy waiving the Confederate Flag while they yell States Rights!

In some ways the Civil War never really ended.

To borrow a phrase from Jon Stewart, I thought this is the kind of thing was only done by cartoon villains.

All of the cartoon villains I know are too classy for that.
