To any who may see this as a vanity: I wrote and am posting this article due to the fact that it contains information the leftist media refuses to cover in any substantial detail, if at all. The Houston Chronicle, which has endorsed Brown not once but twice in the last month, has all but ignored the controversy over the "anti-hispanic" signs being used by Brown (they have given it all of two sentences coverage buried deep within articles). They have similarly chosen to skim over the Byrd phone ad being used by Brown, giving it only minimal coverage in a watered down back page article that dealt with several issues in the mayor's race.

Comparatively, the Chronicle has devoted several paragraphs out of two front page articles to Brown's frivolous charges of "intimidation" with the Sanchez poll watchers, though not once have they noted the fact that Brown has been using his own poll watchers for weeks at early voting.

I made this post because it contains news that is being supressed in the local media, which is adamantly pro-Brown. Please circulate it to any and all you know who live in and around Houston.

And if you are as outraged and disgusted by Brown's racist tactics as I am, please direct your comments to the Houston Chronicle's editorial page. Feel free to express your disgust with their bias as well. Name, address, and phone number are needed for verification purposes only.

If Brown wins, it sounds like the newspapers will have been behind his victory. If Sanchez wins, I hope he cuts those newspapers off.

Bump.

I don't live in Houston, but all race baiters like Lee Brown should not only be fired, but tarred and feathered. If there is a tarring and feathering there, let me know. I'll bring the beer.

...and that's why we need to stop private issue ads and rely soley on privately owned news corporations to tell us who to vote for.

Brown is a total puppet of ex-mayor Bob Lanier. Lanier and his group made millions building crap all over Houston. The latest project is a choo-choo train to nowhere. It's a total waste of money.

I've met Brown, he can't wipe his a$$ without an aide telling him where his backside is. But Brown does have one thing going for him, he makes Shelia Jackson-Lee look brilliant.
