Screen Shots From Brat’s Campaign Manager’s Deleted Facebook Page
This very charming man, Zachary Warrell, may not realize that once you put something online, it doesn’t go away, even if you delete it. As Garance Franks-Ruta at Yahoo notes:
From comparing George Zimmerman’s shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin to abortion to calling for the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration and encouraging the adoption of the silver monetary standard, Zachary Werrell – one of just two paid staffers for the upstart campaign of Randolph-Macon College economics professor David Brat – sought in 2012 and 2013 to build a public profile as a socially conservative libertarian voice. The Facebook postings were either taken down or made private overnight Tuesday in the wake of Brat’s win, but Yahoo News took screenshots of some of the remarks before they were removed from view. A cached version of Werrell’s page remained available on Google as of midday Wednesday…
On Oct. 25, 2013, he called for an end to the regulation of prescription drugs, citing a story from the Ludwig von Mises Institute. “Abolish the FDA!” he wrote.
On Oct. 29 of that year, it was a piece by Fred Reed from Lew Rockwell’s website on the wussification of boys that set him off. “There is a war on boys!” Werrell wrote. “Rough housing, playing soldier, etc, are all punished or medicated away. And we wonder why there is gender inequality in the classroom and in college/attendance/graduation rates.”
The Reed piece called for the end of women teachers in coed or boys’ schools. “It is time to get women out of the schooling of boys,” wrote Fred Reed.
Warrell listed his job as “RINO Hunter” since 1991, the year he was born. And his Twitter page is still up with gems like:

If you really stand for something, don’t delete it.

It goes without saying that these teabaggers don’t stand for much of anything, except the usual mix of bigotry, misogyny & visceral racism. Excellent choice, Virginia.

If you took women out of the classroom, you wouldn’t be able to staff the schools. Of course, maybe that is what he had in mind.
