Thad won by roughly 7,000 votes tonight. Hinds county is roughly 75% Dem. A robo call went out stating "say no to the tea party. They hate the first black president... say no to the tea party by voting for Thad"

The call was placed mainly to african americans in MS

But y'all Chris McDaniel is the one who is dirty and can't be trusted. Thad is honest and has ms' best interest at heart.

The last thing Mississippi or any state in this country needs is a Tea Party member in charge of anything.

Did Thad's campaign put out that call or was it an outside group?

I agree. What I don't understand, though, is why anyone thinks McDaniel is worth a shite. He's a joke.

And you wonder why people say the Tea Party is racist.

You're basically saying "it's unfair because all the daggum BLACKS got out and voted against us!!!!"

I'm not the one that wrote the robo call. That's what it was. You translate it how you want.

The fact that you have a problem with the robo call is what I'm pointing out.

Your complaint is that Thad Cochran's campaign recruited black voters. Basically you're complaining that black people voted against your guy. Think about that for a second.

Let's not be dishonest here. Those were Democrat precincts. It hasn't been racist to call blacks a voting block unless it's convenient to do so.

They got out. They voted. They were moved. Good on em. Doesn't disparage them but simply speaks to the candidate (whom they will vote against in November.) Is that healthy for the political process or for the GOP?

Does this kill the talking point about voter supression in deep south states?

The plantation voters just picked the Repub's nominee in a deep south state

I do have a problem with dems deciding a republican primary.

No I didn't. My issue is that he targeted DEMS. My next problem is that he USED race in doing so.

If you can't grasp that... Not my fault.

Are you sure it isn't that the racism of the black community was leveraged by politicians to achieve a desired outcome?

That's how I took it.
