This is a sign that some Democrats are soooo worried about the election that the subtle race-cards are put to the wayside for the “in yo face ones!” From NewsBusters:
Appearing as a panel member on Sunday’s Melissa Harris-Perryshow, syndicated columnist and former CNN correspondent Al Franken obnoxiously accused Mitt Romney of trying to portray the NAACP audience he spoke to as “Willie Hortons” whom he could use to motivate his Republican base. He went on to claim that Rush Limbaugh, whom he called the “grand dragon of radio,” represents people who wish to return to Jim Crow segregation in America.
I suggest that Mr. Franken read a book or two and understand WHO put Jim Crow in place:
- Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party’s Buried Past;
- Black Rednecks and White Liberals;
- Setting the Record Straight: American History in Black & White;
- Whites, Blacks and Racist Democrats;
- It’s OK to Leave the Plantation : The New Underground Railroad;
- Back to Basics for the Republican Party, Third Edition;
- Unfounded Loyalty-Revised Second Edition: An In-Depth Look Into the Love Affair Between Blacks and Democrats.
