So then, we get someone like, oh, I dunno, David Duke to pander to "many whites, especially in rural areas" who "think reparations is just around the corner", and he's "trying to get their attention"?
I can't think of a better formula for catastrophe.
This is just sheer lunacy. Someone deep in the dank interior of the DNC is laughing his ass off over this madness, thanking his lucky stars that the "G"OP has once again managed to shoot itself in the foot.
This idiocy rates right up there with Gerald Ford insisting that Poland was not under the heel of the Soviet Union -- and then "clarifying" it by repeating it and insisting that he meant what he said!
I doubt it --- reparations was their issue --- and now Keyes came along and changed it into some kind of income tax issue, a tax relief --- something they abhor, something they won't want to talk about. And Keyes brought up reparations before Obama had a chance to bring it up.
