Let the Freshman Douche-Baggery Commence

Hot damn. Thank God this kid in a prom tuxedo, a "student of politics and history" according to the video description, is going to follow the tradition of Martin Luther King, Jr. by being a Republican and fetishizing tanks. (Yeah, if you didn't know, King was a Republican. You may have been confused by John F. Kennedy releasing him from prison, King voting for JFK and LBJ and denouncing Barry Goldwater, Republicans like Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms who didn't see quite eye-to-eye with King, and pretty much all civil rights activists and black people being Democrats.)

I assume Shawn Summers will follow King's example of violence and his own preference for war by joining the ROTC, right? According to his Facebook profile, he plays this fantasy online war game.

He also made a Facebook group for himself to help win this contest. He made sure to say his name in the group description "so you know it's me and not a hoax." Why would anyone think this video is a hoax, Shawn? You represent yourself so perfectly.

"A REPUCLICAN. YES, A REPUBLICAN. THIS IS HIS DESKTOP. THIS IS HIS VOTER REGISTRATION."

Who is Shawn Summers? Let's look at his Facebook photos!

I really hoped this one was a hoax. His YouTube name is "jedimaster51090," however.
At right, as a child...
Playing piccolo in his high school marching band....
In drama club...

Well, we can all see exactly what kind of Republican Shawn is, so it's kind of hard not to feel some compassion for him now.

Unfortunately, he won't win this contest. There's a 13-year-old misinformed geek who is already wearing a flag pin on the collar of his polo shirt. Sweet visuals!
