One important omission in the article: All the candidates are Democrats opposing each other in a Democratic primary in a predominantly Democratic district.

[Robert A Cook PE]

And I was just wondering if these racists were democrats ...

Since when does a Congressional Seat "belong" to anybody?................If anything, it belongs to the voters........

[Argus]

For the record, blacks shouldn't be Democrats either.

Can anybody give us a clue as to why so many American Jews continue to vote for Democrats in such large numbers?

Why?

[tflabo]

Democrats are just plain nasty... through and through.

The Austin-American Statesman is running a series about Blacks that were run out of different counties across the Mason-Dixon line from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s by Whites. Perhaps this is some new ploy the Dims will use in the fall elections.

Ping!

"Greedy," sneered the Rev. Al Sharpton about Yassky, playing on that old Jewish slur.

I wonder how Sharpton would like being referred to as "uppity"?

[jwalburg]

As TEvya says: TRADITION!

Rather than being antiSemitic per se (they could be, but aren't necessarily), these racists could simply be antinonAfrican descended people, be they of Semitic, European, Asian, or Latin American descent.

[Lewite]

Being Hebrew and from Alabama, I can say that most democrts here are racists, and proud of it. They have never made it secret.

If jews and blacks ever realize that they are nothing but willing tools of the RATS, it will be all over for the RATS.

Major Owens leaves a tough legacy to follow.

He once declared in a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives that a hundred million blacks perished on the journey from Africa to America, and that so many of the dead were thrown overboard that, to this day, sharks still follow the routes taken by the slave ships.

Yup...a tough act to follow. LOL

Racism exists everywhere, including some people in the Republican party. It's not the norm anywhere, or at least not morally acceptable or socially acceptable.

But if you want to argue that Democrats are all racists and anti-Semites but no Republicans are racists or anti-Semites -- it's a free country.

But if I were you, I wouldn't be surprised if that argument doesn't get very far.

You know, this isn't the first time the Dems have said something like this.

In 1978, Dave Durenberger was elected to the US Senate seat that was vacant due to the death of Hubert Humphrey. For years after, Dems referred to this as "Hubert Humphrey's Senate seat".

Since the 2002 election, Norm Coleman has held the seat that opened up due to Paul Wellstone's death. Dems refer to this seat as "Paul's seat" or "Wellstone's Senate seat".

The same thing happened to Stephen Solarz. He was a nine term incumbent, but when the ethinic composition of his district changed, he was defeated in the primaries. That's the way it works in Dem politics. It is the reason why we have a Black Caucus and the districts are gerrymandered to get results based on race.

Racial Gerrymandering

Blind obedience to past allegiances.............

You are from Alabama. That state sort of has a track record for racism (though there are probably plenty of people who are not strongly racist living there--probably most Alabamans). Almost everybody is racist, to some degree.
