What is it with Roger Williams University? In 2003 the Roger Williams College Republicans, led by our friend Jason Mattera, got on FOX News for a typical silly rightwing stunt: creating a "whites only" scholarship. Now, the chairman of their board has resigned because he used a racist slur to refer to African-Americans in a discussion (ironically) about how under-represented minorities and women are on the board. I wonder what Mattera thinks of this.

Ridiculous, he was 80, doesnt surprise me one bit. But, his comment was out of control, he knows why he left!

Just so you all know what was so out of control.

"They want us to add more poor kids and they want us to add more, well, I can't call them n------, I learned that from Imus."

Out of control indeed.
