More than 60 black kids were ejected from a private Philadelphia swimming pool on Tuesday.
“There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion…and the atmosphere of the club,” admitted John Duesler, the apparently racist President of The Valley Swim Club.
Didn’t matter that the kids’ day camp had already paid $1900 for them to be there. Out you go, little negroes.
Damn racist Republican.
Oh, wait, this just in: Duesler, the guy who booted the kids, is a Democrat. In fact, he was a big Obama supporter. He’s even listed atop the list of leaders at BarackObama.com.
But that’s not possible, you say. It must be a different John Duesler, because Obama represents a post-racial America and his supporters are the gentlest, most caring people.
Well, RedState.com reports that the Valley Swim Club has tried to make it as difficult as possible to figure the situation out by taking down its website and all references to Duesler.
Luckily, they’re about as inept at the internet as they are at public relations. They forget scrub the PDFs in the Google cache. And a quick Google search turns up lots of info on Duesler. For example, his pages at Facebook and LinkedIn.com are still available.
Sure, this is a public relations nightmare for the Valley Sharks Swim Club and Duesler, who bills himself as a public relations expert.
But in Duesler’s defense, it could have been worse. He could have said, “I kicked those kids out because I was concerned for their safety. Everyone knows negroes can’t swim.”

Zing!
And in the tradition of the Democratic Party too — never mind BHO.
Michael Phelps was behind this decision. He knows full well if we let little black kids swim long enough they will be kicking our asses in swimming, just like they do in every other sport.
I dont see too many black kids in the Tour de France this year…

Camp director says US pool turned away minority children; legal action considered
Thu Jul 9, 4:57 PM
By Ron Todt, The Associated Press
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pennsylvania – Members and officials of a private swimming pool in a Philadelphia suburb reacted to a visiting group of minority children by asking them not to return and pulling their kids out of the water, according to a day camp director who said Thursday that parents are considering legal action.
Creative Steps in northeast Philadelphia had contracted for the 65 children at the day camp to go each Monday afternoon to The Valley Club in Huntingdon Valley, camp director Alethea Wright said Thursday. But shortly after they arrived June 29, she said, some black and Hispanic children reported hearing racial comments.
“A couple of the children ran down saying, ‘Miss Wright, Miss Wright, they’re up there saying, ‘What are those black kids doing here?”‘
Wright said she went to talk to a group of members at the top of the hill and heard one woman say she would see to it that the group, made of up of children in kindergarten through seventh grade, did not return.
“Some of the members began pulling their children out of the pool and were standing around with their arms folded,” Wright said. “Only three members left their children in the pool with us.”
Several days later, the club refunded the camp’s $1,950 without explanation, said Wright, who added that some parents are “weighing their options” on legal action.
Sen. Arlen Specter issued a statement calling the allegations “extremely disturbing” and said he was looking into the matter.
Club president John Duesler told Philadelphia television station WTXF that several club members complained because the children “fundamentally changed the atmosphere” at the pool, but that the complaints didn’t involve race.
The club’s telephone message system was full and a message could not be left there by The Associated Press; Duesler did not return calls to his home.
A club member told a newspaper that she understood the problem was the size of the group, not race. But Wright rejected that explanation, saying the club covers 10 acres with a “nice-sized” pool and a separate pool for younger children. The board, she said, knew that her group included 65 children, and none of them had misbehaved.
“We were not welcome, once the members saw who we were,” she said.
Wright said that the children were upset, and that she was looking for a psychologist to speak to them next week. Some have asked her whether they are “too dark” to swim in the pool, she said.
“I’m not going to validate this behaviour by adults,” Wright said. “It’s unacceptable. This is preposterous, and I won’t stand for it.”
Wright said Girard College had offered to host the children for the summer, and a meeting was scheduled later Thursday to work out the details.
