WHO PAID FOR RACE-BAITING FLIER IN MISSISSIPPI?

WHO PAID FOR RACE-BAITING FLIER IN MISSISSIPPI? Smear of Tea Party and McDaniel needs investigation.

By Jeffrey Lord

Who paid for it? Who will investigate it? Who will apologize for it? “It” being the flier distributed in the Mississippi Senate GOP primary, as seen here, whose headline reads: "The Tea Party intends to prevent blacks from voting on Tuesday."

The flier says that the Tea Party uses the word “Democrats” as “code” for blacks. In short? Somebody out there in Mississippi put out a race-baiting flier to smear both Thad Cochran’s Tea Party opponent Chris McDaniel and the Tea Party itself. Using the worst lie about Republicans — against a Republican.

More than a blatant untruth, the flier is now big news itself, featured on talk radio and spread across the Internet and conservative media. (Over at National Review, John Fund asks if this was “The Flier That Got Thad Cochran Elected?”) So too has this pro-Cochran robocall, which asks voters to say “NO to their [the Tea Party’s] disrespectful treatment of the first African-American president," come to light. The question on everyone's lips: Whodunit?

It won't change the outcome.

But it won't do any good for the bottom feeder to get away with it without paying some kind of price, either.

The second one looks like it was produced by a laser printer.

Laser printers and photocopiers produce identifying marks that are not noticeable to the naked eye. LE uses these marks all the time to nail crooks.

They played a recording of the robocall on The Five yesterday. Dunno if it was the person who put out the fliers, but the voice on the robocall sounded like a youngish black female.

Note that I did NOT identify her as a "democrat". I use the word "democrat" as a codeword for "democrat" for the most part. Other times I use it to mean "a liberal", but I mean they ARE interchangeable words for the most part.

I think it matters. We need to expose the people responsible. We need to find out who they are and let talk radio deal with them. Cochran didn't do it. That guy can't pull up his own depends much less mastermind a campaign. He's like someone's senile grandfather that just goes where ever his kids tell him to go.

We do need to know the names of the people responsible and we need to expose them to public ridicule.

Haley Barbour, Bitch McConnell, NRSC and the Chamber of Cronies. Aided and abetted by several RINO Senators.

There light to be a public Calling out of Bret Farve as a “Celeb.” Who campaigned for Thad.
So Bret do you support this racist, slander your boys used?

What difference does it make who did the tarring the of the “taxed enough already” protesters with a racist brush ?

Pleanty ! The robocalls were clearly initiated by the racist exploiters in the democrat party. They were reported on and played over the radio by both Laura Ingraham and Levin nationally syndicated radio shows.
Right then and there black conservatives should have hit the airwaves and let them have it. If they had, the expected followup with a “blitz” of black areas with inflamatory material would have been discredited or a least blunted.
To the best of my knowledge they didn’t.

All of the people who are on the record for voting illegally should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Fined the maximum the law allows. Imagine the press if 30k voters were fined for illegally voting. That would do more to help us have fair elections in the future than anything else we could do.

It matters. There needs to be accountability. Not that it will change anything this time around, but the truth needs to come out.

What matters more is that the slimy Cochran camp (generously giving them the benefit of the doubt that they weren’t responsible for the flyers and robocalls) never stepped forward to disassociate themselves with the sleazy tactic. They had the opportunity to be statesmen and chose to be scumbags instead.
