As if the Republican Party was the bastion of civil rights.
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Avman is on a roll over at Louisiana Conservative. See, he tries to spin the Cazayoux robocall issue into an issue of racism. He also grasps for straws (yet again), by attacking ”Act Blue” for being “biased” in this election. However, according to the Act Blue website:
Contributions made via the ActBlue website are just like contributions through other means (e.g. on a candidate’s web site, through the mail, at a fundraiser). ActBlue just helps deliver your contribution to the candidate.
So there you go. The fact that more funds came from Act Blue means that Cazayoux had more supporters. Call me crazy but it seems to me that if someone has more supporters they tend to win elections. Perhaps Avman should not comment on things he does not know about. He then continues to assert racism by stating:
With friends like the Democrat party, minorities don’t need a KKK. Who needs the KKK when you’ve got the DNC? No wonder why minorities feel so oppressed, trusting guys like these Democrats?
Yeah, because the KKK tends to support Democrats.. right? That is why David Duke ran for Governor as a Democrat, right? OH YEAH, thats right. He ran as a Republican! Many former “states rights southern Democrats” left the party after the Democratic party picked up the mantle of civil rights. Nixon and Reagan used the “southern strategy” to target the racists in order to win. But if Avman wants to make the rest of us laugh while trying to equate the DNC with the KKK, he is free to make a fool of himself.
Avman aslo gives us this gem:
Michael Jackson ought to run as an independent, Darrell Glasper should stick to his guns, and the Democrat party really needs to quit taking black people for granted.
He is 1/3 right. Darrell Glasper should refrain from saying that his messages are supported by a candidate if they are not. Michael Jackson, if he runs as an independent, could help the Republicans win in the fall. (No wonder why Avman wants that to happen). I do feel that the Democratic voters in LA06 are smarter than Avman gives them credit for. They will realize that voting against the Democrat will be cutting off their noses to spite their faces since it would allow the Republican to win.
However, Avman is right in that Democrats definitely should not take any members of their party for granted. I do think that some members of our party do take certain voting blocks for granted. We need to make sure that we are loyal to those who bring us to the dance.
