[history]
BATON ROUGE - Democrats complained Thursday that Republicans were attempting to suppress black voter turnout in Saturday's election through a radio ad that purported to be from a group of District of Columbia school parents.
The ad, featuring a black woman, asks Louisiana voters "to say no to the Democrats," specifically saying U. S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-New Orleans, is opposed to vouchers to allow D.C. parents to use public funds to send their children to private schools.

Typical liberal hypocrisy...the "pro-choice" crowd feels it is "okay" for one to choose to kill unborn or partially born babies but have no right in choosing where to send their children to school or have a "choice" in how their school tax dollars are spent!
To: Theodore R.
Democrats must really think that black Americans are one stupid grouping of people to be confused in such a manner. What racism. I think it is appalling.

"In the first place, Mary is not in Louisiana. She's in Washington. That's the first lie," Skinner said. "Republican operatives are attempting to confuse the voters. ... All of this is wrong." An egregious deception! To declare that a politician is present in her home state during an election cycle when in fact she is nowhere near the place is dastardly!!

How ironic.
The Democratic candidate, a White woman, whose name even means "White" in Spanish, is courting the Black vote, while a "man of color," Mr. Jindal, is being shunned by Blacks because he is Republican.
Point of curiosity: I was once told that Asians were considered "White" in the South. How does that figure?

Technically, Asian Indians are "Caucasian" and have been long before the days of PC. Asians are "Mongoloid," as are American Indians.

"In the first place, Mary is not in Louisiana. She's in Washington. That's the first lie,"
So what's the second lie?
(not all that impressive a first "lie", lemme tell ya)

Hispanics were considered "white" until the 1970 census, when they were placed in a separate category.

Landrieu is so popular now in LA that voters in October elected your younger brother, Mitch, as lieutenant governor -- right in the primary. People "believe" in the Landrieu family! It gives them "hope" for "democracy."

HER younger brother Mitch. In fact, the big vote for Mitch Landrieu on Oct. 4 seems at odds with the momentum toward Jindal in the gubernatorial campaign.

There's nothing "proported" about the ad. I've heard it in DC. Its a Black woman saying the her family has always voted rat and gotten NOTHING for it. She says now that they want vouchers for their kids; teddy is standing in the school house doorway blocking Black children like the rats of the old South once did. Its very effective. That is why the rats are crying. The rat mayor of DC wants vouchers as well as the lady in the ad.

"The ad, featuring a black woman, asks Louisiana voters "to say no to the Democrats"
Yo! Jesse....we got one that done wandered off the plantation!
The Democratic state party chair Mike Skinner of Lafayette said the ad is actually backed by Republicans who are seeking to confuse black voters."
Translation: "Everybody knows that blacks are too stupid to figure things out for themselves. They need the democRAT party to TELL them what they think, after all, these poor slobs couldn't figure out how to vote at all if we didn't tell them." Yeah, the democRATs are really the anti-racist party alright. Give me a break.
" "This is a desperate attempt by the Democratic Party once again to take focus off of the issues," Williams said. "
They have issues? Who knew? They have "issues" alright.

" I was once told that Asians were considered "White" in the South. How does that figure?" Simple: they vote Republican.
Another term in the liberalese dictionary:
Republican = white

Yeah, and technically, Mexicans are causasian as well, but just take a stand on dealing with the Mexican invasion of illegals and prepare for the cries of racism.
