Wendi C. Thomas: Bergmann more of a blip than a threat (bigoted opinion writer)
The Commercial Appeal ^ | 10/24/10 | Wendi C. Thomas

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte.

Where to start with the doomed campaign of Republican Tea Party-backed Charlotte Bergmann, who is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen for the Ninth District Congressional seat?

Let's start with her campaign signs -- symbols of a political novice and her delusions.

"The Ninth District was owned by the Fords, Democrats, for decades, and for the foreseeable future, it's in the possession of Steve Cohen, another Democrat."

Even in the context of modern political writings that statement is repulsive to the founding concepts of the Republic. A congressman is supposed to be a representative of the citizens, not a feudal baron.

I think Charlotte is making to many inroads into the black community for the bigoted socialist Ms. Thomas.

Cohen is not even running a campaign against Charlotte, he’s that certain he is “SAFE”. He’s a career politician first at the state level as a senator, now as a 2 term US Rep. He is a pelosi/reid/obama clone.

Cohen is an obama clone...we are peons to him. He LOVES TAX HIKES, is pro abortion, even late term, and totally anti 2nd A.

from the article:

“The Ninth District was owned by the Fords, Democrats, for decades, and for the foreseeable future, it’s in the possession of Steve Cohen, another Democrat.

Cohen’s ascension was relatively easy: In 2006, with an overcrowded primary race, Cohen won a majority of white votes while other candidates split the black vote thinner than an Olsen twin.”

... is this a blog rant or an actual printed newspaper?

And talking about the 2nd Amendment, wasn’t it the Commercial Appeal who published the names of every concealed carry permit holder in Tennessee as a “public service”?

YES! I let Sen Norris and Lt. Gov Ron Ramsey know my feelings about that.....my Jeremy’s killer is out of prison, it is why I CCW. Looking over one shoulder is no fun. More nerve racking knowing he can possibly track me down through a government data base published in the COMMIE APPEAL.

When the dems had control of both houses at the state level they were slowly strangling our 2nd A rights, Ron Ramsey has worked his butt off to get a lot of it reversed.

Yeah another “back on the porch” slur. What passes for journalism these days on the left is really sad.

"You may now join Tinker on the porch."

I understand the reference to putting blacks on the porch (see "Porch Monkey") but not "Tinker". So I searched, and the same "newspaper" had this editorial by Wendi Thomas, about Cohen's opponent in the primary (I guess, in 2008): Tinker Lowers Bar in Ninth (2008), although in that case the "porch" comment was in a COMMENT, not the article:

Ms. Tinker needs to go back to the porch and wait for the check.
Other articles also had comments like that:
Emily's List did not do their homework on this one. Tinker has been running a racist campaign since 2006 and is now grasping at straws to get another vote or two. Nikki Tinker is going to be sent back to the porch on Thursday, hopefully never to be heard from again.
nikki tinker ( tinker Bell) need to keep sitting on the porch with her granny and wait on that CHECK..most people are going to vote for MR COHEN ( this is from a BLACK person)
And it turns out Wendi Thomas wrote an article in 2008 with the title "Nikki, I'd Say your porch is waiting", in which she said:
There's a place for an ambitious lady like Tinker. Perhaps she should look for a porch in Alabama with her name on it.
So apparently black people think black people sit on porches waiting for their welfare checks. Which isn't surprising, because the liberal white elite have told blacks for decades that this is all they are good for, and that without help blacks are useless. It's not surprising that some of them believe it.

Hopefully the dems’ anti-2nd Amendment efforts have hit their high point in Tennessee.

I’d bet her first articles were horrid until she got her feet under her...they are still bigoted. For the sake of my sanity I rarely read her tripe. Only reason I looked at it is that Charlotte Bergmann is MY candidate of choice. I sure don’t want Steve Cohen...the pelosi/reid/obama clone.

Yes that was 2008, Tinker used the race card a lot. Turned off a lot of people.
