The North Carolina Republican Party's efforts this week to woo black voters away from the
Democratic Party, not turning out to be great timing.
A member of the Buncombe County Republican leadership is out after an interview on the
Daily Show.
If you are at all piped in to North Carolina politics, strong possibility you have seen
this clip or gotten a link emailed to you maybe, this was the talk in this town today.
When I was a young man, you didn't call a black a black, you called him a ***... I
had a picture one time of Obama sitting on a stump as a which doctor and I posted that
on Facebook... Basically, I was making fun of my white half of Obama, not the black half...
And now you have a black person using the term [expletive] this, [expletive] that, and
it's okay for them to do it.
You know that we can hear you, right?
Yeah.
Okay. You know that? You know that we can hear you?
Yeah.
Okay, alright.
Then I found out the real reason for the law.
The law is gonna kick the Democrats in the butt.
Wow! A executive GOP committee member just admitted that this law isn't designed to hurt
black people, it's designed to hurt Democrats.
If it hurts a bunch of college kids that's too lazy to get up off their bohunkus and
go get a photo ID, so be it.
Right, right.
If it hurts the whites, so be it. If it hurts a bunch of lazy blacks that wants the government
to give them everything, so be it.
And it just so happens that a lot of those people vote Democrat.
Gee
More controversy for a state Republican.
State Representative Larry Pittman of Concord is in the middle of a political buzz saw.
I noticed on Facebook recently that there was, somebody had posted something with a
picture of Barack Obama and across it said "traitor."
Pittman was speaking in Concord and caught on camera by American Bridge 21st Century,
a Democratic PAC. Words about the President's photo isn't what put him in the hot seat.
But rather, the punchline Pittman delivered regarding Mr. Obama.
He is not a traitor, at least not as far as I can tell because I've not come across any
evidence yet that he has done one thing to harm Kenya.
All of this again putting North Carolina in the national spotlight, and again not in a
good way.
