Churchgoer taken aback by political flier's lynching imagery (Pro-Hagan flyer)
The Fayetteville Observer ^ | October 20, 2014 | Michael Futch

Dawn McNair said she was surprised Sunday when her daughter pointed out the background on a political flier urging people to get out and vote.

The front of the flier blares: "Kay Hagan doesn't win! Obama's impeachment will begin! Vote in 2014."

The words are superimposed over a grainy reproduction of a photograph of what appears to be a lynching.

Someone tucked the flier under McNair's windshield wiper while her car was parked at her church, Kingdom Impact Global Ministries on Murchison Road.

"My daughter said, 'Mom, look in the background. They're lynching somebody.' It's the lynching of an African-American man," McNair said.

At the bottom, the flier reads, "Not endorsed by any candidate. Paid for by Concerned Citizens of Cumberland County." No contact information for the group was on the flier.

Democrat Kay Hagan is locked in a tight race for U.S. Senate with Republican Thom Tillis. She is the incumbent senator, and he is s the speaker of the N.C. House.

Polls have shown the race leaning toward Hagan but well within range for Tillis. Because of that and because the outcome of the North Carolina contest could determine whether the GOP takes control of the Senate, more than $100 million has been or will be spent on the race, much of it to pay for attack advertising and much of it spent by groups operating independently of the campaigns....

I somehow fail to understand the party taking offense at the flier having been defined as a “churchgoer”.

Nathan Bedford Forrest and the other founders of the KKK would be proud.

My entire life I have been horrified by the history of lynching. Lately, perhaps not so much. Those folks might want to tread carefully. By the way, they finally found the body of the 18 y.o. UVA student over the weekend...

The MSM thinks they found a unicorn or bigfoot. They really don’t know anyone like that in their day-to-day lives.

Probably a false flag op done by a Hagan supporter or other RAT operative like 99% of these "racial incidents."

It's Reichstag fires all the way down.

Anyone know anything about this church where this supposedly happened? Dollars to donuts it's some progressive social justice brood of heretics.

Well, it worked for Thad Cochran in Mississippi.

What would really be devastating would be for the investigation by the Board of Elections to find out that this was done by someone in the Tillis Campaign as a “reverse strategy”........ sorta like the pictures of Cochran’s wife in the Nursing Home in Mississippi, taken by a McDaniel supporter. That backfired and hurt the McDaniel Campaign.
