dirty tricks are part and parcel of American elections.You may be too young to remember Will Horton Ad.
You don’t call someone a racist and a bunch of crap and expected the guy to support you.
Willie Horton?! You think what happened in MS compares to Willie Horton? No, this was a scorched earth, go-for-broke, nothing-to-lose campaign by Cochran. He knew he was gonna lose if he didn’t shoot the moon.
Bull. Cochran = Reid
Willie Horton was a fact. The race-baiting KKK lie was a smear. How is it you can’t figure out the difference?
Gee, if you are so concerned about Willie Horton, maybe you can get your polo club pals to nominate ol’ Willie the Rapist/Murderer to high office. After all, it’s just sporting and all that to make up for the awful TRUE ads about Willie and the royal treatment he received from Snoopy in the tank Mike Dukakis. Do I remember correctly that the ad in question was one that made even Poppy Bush seem acceptable to ordinary folks?
Dukakis had a program giving furloughs to convicted murderers and rapists. One of those prisoners out for a prison recess, took off, fled to another state, broke into a home, raped a woman while the husband was tied up. Worse even was done.
I do not understand your insinuation at all.
