You are that desperate Will that you have to bring up the 1988 election and scream racist?? What a dumb POS you are.

As George H.W. Bush said at the time, “What in the ad was factually wrong?

I’m guessing that website never considered for even a moment that Pedo Joe has been “fear-mongering” with his bizarre “extremist” America speeches.

No fear mongering necessary. Just check the crime stats.

It was Algore that originally brought up Willie Horton against Dukakis during the Primaries.
Another “Inconvenient Truth” the Press leaves out.

“Devoid of actual ideas, the GOP has ripped a racist page from a 1980s playbook to scare voters around crime. The polls suggest it’s working.”
Hmmm.....maybe trying to put a stop to crime is an idea people are interested in.

If I recall, wasn’t it a Democrat during the primaries that first used the Willie Horton issue against Dukakis? Then the Bush team decided to use it as well during the general election.

Opinion polls either show the Democrat ahead, or else they're "too close to call."
When they are "too close to call," the accusations of "appeals to racism" and "extremism" are soon heard throughout the land.
Forty years ago, it was "get the money out of politics," but that refrain hasn't been heard in some time.

In essence, the media screamed it was racist to show a picture of a mean, murdering M-F’er and portray him as a mean, murdering M-F’er that Michael Dukakis released from prison.

Yea...i read about a guy who rung up his 42nd assault arrest in NYC last year.... these events are all figments of our imagination
To: ChicagoConservative27
But NY Congressmen telling New Yorkers they lost their right to an abortion is not fear mongering? Why, because it’s false?

“Johnson ...dumb climate denial to his seeming love for Mother Russia ... the Jan. 6 insurrection.. his young, gifted, and Black Democratic opponent, Wisconsin Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes.
Johnson—Republican, dumb, loves Mother Russia, part of an insurrection
Barnes—democrat, young, gifted and black
Nope, no bias here.
