Unabashed Racist Wins GOP Primary in Tenn.

[giant]

Hart, 60, vows if elected to work toward keeping "less favored races" from reproducing or immigrating to the United States. In campaign literature, Hart contends that "poverty genes" threaten to turn the United States into "one big Detroit."

He even got 83%(!) of the vote.

Hey, but at least he's not a democrat, right?!

[ha, I just realized that's something we all can agree on]

So what? He's just an overt racist and thus far less dangerous or damaging than the covert racists than now control the Republican party. He's a transcient manifestation of the Republican party's voicing of their true values (after he loses to the imcumbent Democrat).

The problem is the covert racists that control Washington.

[Common Man]

Republicans are not racist. Please!

Oh yes, please do. Let us hear how she used "Terrorist's money" to fund her campaign. Let us hear how she "Hates Jews". Out with it. Stop toying with us and spill the beans. Let the world know what a racist this Cynthia is.

[giant]

Or how she lost in the primary.

[Existence]

Since he is for eugenics, does he want creationism taught in the classroom?

From the article: In campaign literature, Hart contends that "poverty genes" threaten to turn the United States into "one big Detroit."

Obviously a Lakers fan.

(dons flameproof suit) Or 83% of voting Tenneseeans. If you think about it that's only like 7 people.

Well, that would make sense if 83% of Tenesseans were republican, but it's more like 100%.


Or, as Outsider pointed out, 5 of the 7 Tennesseean voters are republican.

No, as this is the GOP primary, votes are only open to GOP members.

Ooooohh! Amazon book links!?

A color blind society with regards to race is the ONLY goal that we can have. I'd like to know how anything else is moral, reasonable or fair.

[kneelbeforezod]

This is a basically a matter of internal party politics. No real Republican wanted to go up against a Democratic incumbent guaranteed to be re-elected, so an extreme right-wing nutjob went for the candidacy and essentially got it by default. He doesn't mind that he'll the election, the entire point of his candidacy is to boost his profile.

The GOP should have gotten behind a party loyalist with no real ambition for office to oppose this guy. Makes them look bad having such a loon on their ticket.
