Comments on Luke Esser on Voting Rights

Hm...it's almost like he's using the word "deadbeats" to stand in for another word. I can't quite figure out which one, though.

well, i guess god's timing was off in those southern states last week.

@1,

Canadians?

@1 is it Canadians?

OMG WTF?

Why is it that the Daily, the newspaper of one of the most liberal campuses in America, is and always has been such a right wing rag?

while we're probably not the most liberal state in the union, I defy anyone to find another state republican party that's in worse disarray or a bigger joke.

Given the actual voter turnout on Feb. 9th, can we at least admit that Eastern Washington is more pro-Obama than it is pro-Clinton or pro-GOP?

Seriously, more people voted for Obama than voted for ALL the GOP candidates in Eastern Washington.

Eli, if you clicked through TPM's link on the story, you'd see that they're linking to Goldy's "Luke Esser Fucks Pigs" post.

"I want Biblical floods and pestilence. I will settle for rain, sweet rain."

I like this kid.

I'm shocked--shocked!--that anyone in Washington's Republican leadership would openly advocate voter suppression.

"Can't even go out in the rain?" "Biblical floods?" Sheesh, that's why I vote by mail.

"Many of the most successful anti-deadbeat voter techniques (poll taxes, sound beatings, etc.) that conservatives have used in the past have been outlawed by busybody judges."

Don't you hate it when busybody judges prevent you from physically assaulting people you don't agree with? Damn them!

Jeez, for a minute I thought that must be satire. It's no fun parodying people if they're so ridiculous you can't tell their actual words from a spoof of them.

@6 - Unhinged lunatics making thinly-veiled racist tirades like this one stir up controversy, and controversy gets otherwise apathetic students to pick up the Daily and read it.

Jeez, a guy gets kicked out of his state senate seat, then takes a job with a Republican party that had been in disarray because he claimed he'd sort things out....

I say good. Keep the party in disarray. And at some point, maybe Esser will need to get a job in the private sector... not even his bud Rob McKenna will be wanting him back after this.

Say hello to Luke Esser- Washington State's official Dunce.

Looks like someone's auditioning for a job as Ann Coulter's ghostwriter.

The Daily is a joke and always has been. I'm not sure national political blogs really understand that.

"Esser" means eater in German, btw. What's with this guy? How can he do what he did? Can't he be prosecuted and removed from his position? This move, is something I would think the socialists might do, not the GOP! It's good that people can't find him, he has endangered his own life!

@6, maybe the quality of the writing in The Daily is not at college-level, but I would stop short of saying that it's a "right wing rag". Read it sometime: http://www.thedaily.washington.edu/

Also, Eli, when I hovered over the links available in your post, none of them linked to The Daily. . . . .Okay, wait, I now see what you are talking about, but you kinda failed to make it clear: Eli did not quote a (1986) UW Daily article directly, but rather quoted a blog which quoted said article.

Luke Esser is a retard

take your head out of your ass syrup sipper
