This is a stunt that really makes me believe that Vernon Robinson is really in this race only for his own notoriety.
I have commented before that he is offensive in nature and presentation, but this is just a S-T-U-N-T. This was simply a publicity stunt to get press coverage.
Well, I for one read this story and lost a lot of respect for Vernon. I do admit that I really admire his conservative stances at times, but find him very brash and harsh.
I think that this was a very risky maneuver that shows that he is really only out for himself and to gain fame, or in this case, INFAMY.

I said something like that a couple months ago, and was slammed. People don't like you taking about about Vernon. remember, he is the black Jesse Helms. He has told us 50 times.

I agree. Robinson is a showboater, veering dangerously close to being an all-out doofus. Geeze, if you're going to do a publicity stunt like this, how 'bout a little originality?
Grandstanding like this detracts from his message, and that's too bad, because he is a conservative, and a fairly articulate and charismatic one at that. The 5th Congressional District is solidly Republican; the winner of the GOP Primary will go to Congress. We can do better than Mr. Robinson.

yes ma'am you are correct...vernon is too harsh and brash to be elected...although i agree with most of his stands..i have found him to be not to be a likable type....this is not to say he isnt a good guy..just a personality quirk...told him years ago to lighten up some...apparently he chose not to..all the best
