Democratic turnout flyer: ‘If you want to prevent another Ferguson…’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Political Insider ^ | October 21, 2014 | Jim Galloway and Daniel Malloy

The Democratic effort to pump up the African-American vote in Georgia just took an interesting turn.

A reader has sent us this early-voting turnout mailer sent out by the Georgia Democratic party that focuses on the shooting of Michael Brown and subsequent unrest in Ferguson, Mo. It contains an interesting line that concedes the problem of low interest among black voters:

“If we want a better, safer future for our children, it’s up to us to vote for change. The choices may not always be perfect, but the cost of inaction is simply too great.”

Here’s a complete look:

And this:

Followed by this:

And this:

Update 7:05 p.m. We caught up with Democratic Party Chairman DuBose Porter at an event in Milledgeville this evening. He said the situation in Ferguson easily applies to Georgia:

“Again, it’s about opportunity. Are you going to be in situaitons more like that? I mean, that’s when you don’t have people having the opportunity for jobs or to participate in their community and the opportunity to grow. When you have communities like that that are stagnant — that’s what we’re getting to in Georgia — and when you offer people the HOPE grant to get retrained, or the fundamentals in education so we can get our dropout rate down. That very much of what that climate is, is what we’re trying to change here.”

Is it fair to link it to police violence?(continued)

On the one hand....the advertising is about the most vile election propaganda since LYNDON JOHSON..and on the other hand...its so repulsive that its actually quite laughable.

this might JUST backfire,...in a serious way

We should send Hispanics a “voter” flyer with George Zimmerman’s picture and ask if they want the Dem party to run a racial witch hunt on them if they defend themselves from a violent black attacker.

Whites are 73% of the population and have most of the guns, hunters, veterans, military, sportsmen, outdoorsmen, fishermen, archers, gun salespeople, police, gunsmiths, shooting sports enthusiasts, preppers and etc. They’ll regret picking a fight.

I like the way you think. You’re obviously smarter than Karl Rove and his disciples.

“All they have left is the threat of violence.”

The October Surprise will be...

The police officer in Ferguson will be found to have done nothing improper on or about October 30.

Read it here first.

Yeah. They want to attack children, the elderly, and unarmed women. They’ll regret picking a fight with the white men. Well, the non-liberal ones.

I guess it wouldn’t make any difference to note that Democrats have held the Missouri governor’s office for 17 of the last 21 years, and the STL County Executive’s office since 1991. There hasn’t been a Republican mayor in STL since 1949. And, if I were a betting man, I’d bet that Ferguson and vicinity sends Democrats to Congress, the legislature, and the county council.

“If we want a better, safer future for our children, it’s up to us to vote for change.”

Ummm.....you already voted for change — twice! And the results have been in the wrong direction for blacks, by all measures. What’s that old saying about the definition of stupidity?

Change from WHAT??? Dems occupy the MO governor’s mansion and the White House! Aren’t these fools entertaining when they try to paint themselves as “change agents” when they’re the ones in power?

"‘If you want to prevent another Ferguson…’"

Don't let your children grow up to be liberals.

I guess if they want to vote for “change” this time they have to vote Republican.

So basically it’s this: “If you want a total breakdown of law and order and justice being served by the mob (just like the KKK) then Vote Dem”.
