Group of Democrats resort to scare tactics

In 2000, there were radio commercials running in St. Louis that if Bush is elected, black churches will burn? AP: "The Missouri's Republican Party wants a Democrat-aligned group to stop circulating a get out vote flier that includes a 1960s photograph of a firefighter hosing a black man that reads, 'This is what they used to do to keep us from voting.'" This is the group America Coming Together, which is George Soros' group with Hillary Clinton. "The Americans Coming Together handout accuses Republicans of conspiring to suppress the black vote through intimidation and such tactics as putting phony cops at polling places but only in African-American neighborhoods. 'They make African-American voters stand in line for hours and they turn them away from the polls,' the flier reads.

"'Now John Ashcroft is trying to prevent African-Americans from registering to vote at all,'" and they have a picture of a black guy being hosed by a fireman from the 1960s. The latest from the NAACP or Americans Coming Together, whoever, in Missouri as they attempt to do something here. I tell you, folks, like I said at the top of the program: This is sheer desperation. This is panic city. Their guy has never led in the polls. It's not going in the right direction for 'em. Bush is on message and looking forward, and all these people can do is drum up fear and hatred. Can't even get a vote out. In fact, in fact, there's a story later on I'll get to here in the Stack of Stuff where some black voters are upset Kerry has not come through on the domestic agenda and not happy with this. He was given a warning some time ago by the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation or Forum, whatever they call themselves out there, and apparently Kerry hasn't listened.


This is getting out of hand. When will liberals realize that Bush has given more African-American's positions in his cabinet than any other American President. Campaigns like these will only swing undecided voters to the Bush side.
