She picked Dawson. Ruh-row.

Turns out that up until last September, Dawson – who announced his candidacy for the chairmanship in November – was a member in good standing at the 80-year-old Forest Lake Club, that has no black members and a deed with a “whites-only” restriction.

Nice big tent you got there, Robin. But if it’s set up at Forest Lake, our new President can’t get in.

UPDATE: Mr. Dawson has also been endorsed by American Family Association founder Don E. Wildmon, a vocal opponent of marriage equality and a guy just nutty enough to think that he can get a boycott of McDonalds to take root. Wildmon wrote in a statement to his supporters, “if the Republican Party is to survive, it must get back to its roots. I believe that Katon Dawson…has the ability to take the party where it needs to go – to Burger King.” (OK, I added that last bit).

(Strike 2: Dawson was also kind of dick to Stephen Colbert.)

(Stike 3: Fuzzy math and the “absolute poster child for the Republican Party’s long-term demographic ills.”
