Blasphemy? Racism is your religion?

Al Gore used the FACT of Dukakas’ habit of furloughing murders to illustrate that Dukakas was unserious about crime. The rape of a woman happened as a direct result of Dukakas’ policies. It was fair game.
The lies, smears and race-baiting used by Cochran against McDaniels had no basis in fact. They were the lowest form of scorched earth. The idea that McDaniels should support Cochran under any circumstances after that is psychotic. Only if you want more of such behavior should it be rewarded.
Almost all of the prisoners in the ‘Willie Horton revolving door ad” were Caucasian. Willie Horton was black.
