The head of the Republican Women of Otero County refused to resign after calling Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama a "Muslim socialist."
Otero County GOP chairwoman Sassy Tinling says that when Marcia Stirman refused to quit, the rest of the board of the Republican Women's group gave Stirman their resignations.
Tinling also says the county GOP executive committee disassociated itself from the GOP women's group.
Stirman wrote a letter published October 21st in the Alamogordo Daily News in which she also said she believes Muslims are our enemies.
The New Mexico Republican Party says Stirman doesn't speak for them and her comments don't reflect GOP values and beliefs.
