SHANE WIKFORS NEEDS TO RESIGN AS AZ GOP SPOKESMAN!



We have received a large number of phone calls this weekend from many 'prominent' Arizona Republican women who want AZ GOP Spokesman & Sonoran Moron Alliance Blogger SHANE WIKFORS to resign after his blog post bashing women.

Here is what Wikfors said:

Wikfors then proceeded to bash Barbara Espinosa, a fellow blogger and longtime Republican activist and donor in the comments section of the article. Espinosa, who has given $Thousands of donations to the Republican Party (she was the 'Special Guest' of AZ GOP National Committeeman Bruce Ash at the recent RNC convention in Scottsdale)

was called out in this response:

How pathetic of Shane Wikfors to do that! He continued on to blast Kathy Petsus and Laurie Roberts in a later comment:

Here is what the Arizona Republic had to say in their Sunday 'Political Insider' column:

Whine festival ... , Wonder if Shane Wikfors reread his Sonoran Alliance post before hitting the "post" button?

Perhaps the state GOP spokesman was hoping to get national attention for ArizonaRepublic columnist Laurie Roberts and her effort to "dekookify" the Arizona Legislature when he accused Roberts and GOP activist Kathy Petsas of having a "bitch session." Well done, Wikfors!

We were particularly fond of the Politico coverage, where Roberts shrugged off the remark: "I've been called far worse." The three-day Twitter fest was fun, too. (It went something like this: @MarthaPlimpton: "RT @AIsForOrg: & when women speak, it's called a 'bitch session' by a Republican spokesman in Arizona. ... Good ol' AZ.")

Not to mention a Channel 3 (KTVK) quote from Wikfors' boss, state GOP chair Tom Morrissey, that he was "very happy" with the job his spokesman is doing. OK then.

That would be the job of someone who is supposed to be extolling the party's virtues. Someone who is encouraging party membership and, one might reasonably expect, hailing Petsas' effort to bring more GOP voters into the fold as precinct committee members.

But no. By week's end, the beleaguered Wikfors was gamely trying to defend his remark and get the last word: "Keep the hate coming lefties (who don't bother to read)."

Wikfors should have stopped blogging when he accepted the post of Spokesman for the AZ GOP. The damage is done, Wikfors needs to resign immediately. The good thing: in 8 months, Wikfors & the entire band of idiots who run the AZ GOP will be gone! This story has gone national and is just another embarassing moment for the Arizona Republican Party!
