The Republican Party of Marathon County has stripped its spokesman of his title less than three months after he wrote a column critical of conservative talk radio star Rush Limbaugh.

Kevin Stevenson said he believes his March guest column in the Wausau Daily Herald criticizing Limbaugh turned local party members against him.

"They felt I was too moderate in what I was speaking and printing," he said.

Stevenson, who characterizes himself as a "John McCain-type of Republican," said the conflict was a microcosm of a national debate about what political message to put forward. A debate at a local Republican meeting on Thursday "got hostile and it got personal," he said.

One of the comments:
Kevin Stevenson is a liar.

He didn't get purged because he had differences. He got booted because he wasn't doing his job--being a spokesman for the Republican Party who represented the views of the local Republican Party.

He might try being a spokesman for the Democrats since it is unprincipled moderates who have been the best allies of the Dems. They effectively destroyed the ability of the Republicans to bring meaningful change when they had the power in Washington. They ruined the reputation of the Republicans by running away from the conservative roots of the Party.

1. It's true! It's true!

THe fat bag of shit really is in charge of the entire republicon party.

Does anybody know what time Mr Stevenson's apology is scheduled?

2. This is funny. 'John McCain type Republicans' are every bit as

repugnant as the other variety.
So another repug is tossed by his own party for not fitting into the narrow band that is known as 'acceptable Republican ideology'? I assume he must pay public homage to Rush before he may be accepted back into the fold of true believers.

3. Another case of Repukes eating their own

Mr. Stevenson's articles were actually intelligent. I didn't agree with all his views but he was respectful of other ideas and as far as Repukes go, he was insightful.
