According to the Huffington Post, a Republican candidate is "racist" because he ran a TV ad that criticized his Democratic opponent for supporting the early release of a convicted violent criminal, who then went on to murder four people during the first 10 days of his early release.

Sounds like the Willie Horton ad all over again.

Yo racecard has beeeen de-cliined.

According to the Huffington Post, the guy was destined, from the moment he was born black, to commit those crimes. And white folks are destined to whine about such things, because they’re born racists.

This is how we fix society. The person who made those claims needs to be declared mentally ill and locked away.

I made the mistake of clicking through and reading the comments...

Those robots actually think that eeeevile white Republicans picked a picture of a scary black man "there are plenty of scarier whites in prison".

Picking the person for the add on looks would be bias, the POS got out of jail early and immediately went to murdering 4 people in 10 days!!!

What if anything resembling thought/logic goes on in the minds of Libs/Dems?

I’ve often wondered:

Can a question be racist? A question is just a question.
Can a fact be racist? A fact is just a fact.

“The NRCC’s ad was immediately compared Friday to the infamous “Willie Horton” spot Republicans ran against Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis in 1988”

IIRC, it was none other than Algore who first brought up the Willie Horton ad
