Langston Hughes was a communist. No surprise to see Lurch quoting him.
You have to remember that President Bush hit a grand slam when he spoke to the NUL Friday. Bush ripped the heart out of leftists when he openly questioned blacks' committment to the Dems. The DemocRats and so-called black leaders are in full panic mode. Lots of blacks are dissatisfied with Kerry; though they won't vote for Bush en masse they'll likely stay home or a small percentage of them will vote for Bush, which will be helpful in battleground states.
