You questioned my race. HUGE violation! I want an apology and I want you to ban yourself from these boards for 2 weeks.

Comply. Now.

Well, there is the question:

Were you saying that no one cares about Republican race bating or that you (as a professed black person) don't care about Republican race baiting?

Humm...the go-to voter suppression excuse may not work for the Dems after Nov. 8. given the turnout we've seen thus far.

Blaming race-baiting campaigns might well be the fallback should the Dems lose the House and Senate.

We're not dealing with the question of election losses or victories or the blame therefore. The issue is Republican race-baiting in electoral campaigns. Do you want to comment on that?

.

What's the problem? This is fair game. If Trump or DeSantis years ago defended a white criminal that killed a black security guard, you Democrats would run all over it 'till election day and make it a national crisis.
How is this racist? Should they only use white on white crime? This is fair game.

WI racist ad:

NC racist ad:

Ads the GOP had to pull:
Quote:
Television stations in North Carolina made the unusual decision on Friday to take down an attack ad against Cheri Beasley, a Democratic Senate candidate, after complaints that the ad falsely accused Ms. Beasley of freeing a man convicted on charges of possessing lewd images of children when she served as chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court.

It is un-American and mainly false. Remember McCain complaining about the GOP ads which said he had a black love child? That's fair game as to his adopted daughter?

Republicans and racism? 'By their works you shall know them.' Matthew 7:20

Any questions were negated when Clara made her incorrect assertion. At this point, the only thing to discuss is how to punish for wrongspeak.
