A Mississippi radio station aired an ad warning voters that the Tea Party would “take away” food stamps and other welfare benefits before the run-off between incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran and his challenger, Chris McDaniel.
Calling the run-off the most important election since the re-election of President Barack Obama, the WMGO radio station ordered listeners in Madison County to vote for Cochran the day of the run off. The ad appeared to target black voters.
“By not voting, you’re saying, ‘Take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities,” the ad said, voiced by an African American woman.
“Everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut. Mississippi will never be the same. The question is, will you spend five dollars on gas to vote -- or allow the Tea Party to send us back to the good old bad days?

Scares me to think we have a lot of GOP supporting Cochran...and telling folks to still vote for him and GOP.
“So we have one party for Goulash Communism and the other is for East German 5 year plans.”
I love Goulash, in the old country, one of my grandmothers made the best. I can still remember it.
As for the East Germa 5 yr. PLans - you be careful the STASI are watching or is that Obama’s NSA, I sure cannot test the difference
“Here is racism at it’s finest.”
The shoe will soon be on the other foot.
The democrats will use these very same tactics AGAINST Thad Cochran in the general election. Using Cochran’s name instead of McDaniel’s name, the same flyers and radio ads will probably even be used.
Let’s see how he likes it then.
Ironic isn’t it - that their relatives who actually lived in slavery fought so hard to be freed - only to have their descendants stay on the plantation taking handouts from their white masters and screaming racism and equality?
This was absolute, flat-out election fraud, even if it was technically legal. I think what McDaniel should do (since he’s a state senator) is start working to draw attention to it and to attempt to get MS to go to a closed primary system. Only GOP voters should have been voting in a GOP run-off, and none of this would have happened.
Winning elections by getting more votes is one thing, and I agree that people who consider themselves conservative have to learn to work together a little better and build up broader support. But when there’s fraud and manipulation on this level, nothing is going to help. So the challenge is to use the next two years leading up to the 2016 elections to try to seal off as many entrances for Rat fraud as possible.

” Why can’t they see that?”
Why do you think they can’t?
At what point does the Tea Party make a clean break and become third party? Both parties are the enemy of America. Even if Republicans sweep the November elections it won’t change the destructive path we are going. You know it and I know it.
I am sick to death of it all. Sick to death, I tell you!
I am becoming more and more of the mind that we must pick up the gauntlet that the French Republicans (props to Levin) threw down in Mississippi.
It is a big step for me to violate the Buckley Principle and compromise my own. But, war asks some hard things of us. Saying we are going to work harder for next time is well and good. Let's do that.
But, Rove and his cabal need to pay for Mississippi.It is THAT egregious.
If that is to happen, it will have to begin at the state and local level. A national third party effort is futile, much as I hate the fact.
Actually, we would. But why is it wrong to be an excellent guardian of the treasury but not wrong to rape the treasury?
But wait, don't we WANT to rid ourselves of all those oft-abused programs? And in the process, enable the "underclass" to do for themselves?
My first thought was that they were finally being truthful!
Or a Tea Party rally?
bump
this was not a free and fair election
Obama has endorsed apartheid in Hawaii and Jackson Mississippi elected a segregationist, BLACK mayor by about 80+% of the vote just last year or so. Although I think he croaked.
The ads are reprehensible, but they do confirm the low estimation of those who were the targets of the ads.
