Note, carefully, how the writer changes the actual thrust of the protest, to imply some form of fanaticism on the part of the victims of flagrantly bad behavior on the part of the Cochran campaign managers (not of the Senator personally)! The victims are protesting being smeared, having bought votes used against them, and maybe even some invalid votes being improperly counted.
Similarly, the writer continues the insult by calling those who protest "kooks."
As an Ohioan, it is not my place to meddle in Mississippi politics. Elections--even Federal elections--are supposed under Article I of the Federal Constitution, to be governed by State law. And, unlike many over the past century, this Ohioan has always opposed outside meddling in that process. But as a rational analyst; as a lifelong student of rhetoric & exponent of reasoned debate, I will comment on what is no better than a propaganda piece. If the writer were seriously interested in promoting party unity, rather than further denigrating the candidate he doesn't like, he would never have employed the techniques of a dissembler.

Its all our business. Once the parties started fundraising for House/Senate nationally it BECAME all of our business.
Mr. Cochran is more likely to bring about change in Washington with that tone than one advocating the establishment of a pure race or party with a litmus test.
I'm thinking that the same libelous GOPe race-baiters who wrote the original notorious Cochran flyers wrote this.
