That is hilarious. Nice play! I'll bet he ends up being the best thing to happen to that town in ages.

Exactly. The townsfolk who were stupid enough to vote for him have only themselves to blame.

Typical to see the media imply that Mr. Wilson is the racist but not the voters who were obviously looking to vote for a black-only candidate.

In our new 'post-racial' society it's no longer about who has the better ideas, but who can best exploit race.

But if he also changed his political views.. then whats so special about it?
Remember this Howard Stern Hit! Where Howard Stern sends someone to Harlem to talk to voters about McCain/Palin and obama they use McCain platform as obama's and everyone loves it!

But wait...I thought the wingnuts said that blacks DON'T vote on the issues but on race exclusively?

But still, this story is quite convoluted without knowing what exactly did the man run for (it wasn't in the piece) and how many people even voted.

Regardless, I don't really see what's the big problem here except for one thing....

The Republican party is constantly complaining about their lack of black support and how blacks won't vote for them because of this or that and yet...THIS is the way you wanna get black votes? By being deceptive and admitting it? Is that the way to endear yourself to a black constituency? A constituency that already finds your party to be suspect?

Why not simply keep it real right from the beginning? Chris Christie TRIPLED his black support in New Jersey, and he didn't do it by being quasi-deceitful. He did it by actually GOING into the places where blacks are (imagine that...I know...unimaginable for a right winger) and presenting his point of view even when he knew they sharply disagreed on some issues.

I know...different animal, right? Because unlike Texas Republicans, New Jersey Republicans actually use their heads. SMH
Oh yes, one person in Houston is the poster child for all Conservatives. Again, you libs are, excuse the phrase, black and white, you never allow for any gray area. It's all or nothing with you guys. Extremists to the bitter end.

The point was, if they had known this was a white guy, a white Republican no less, you know, the evilest, most vile thing on earth according to some of you libbies out there, I'll bet you that a good chunk of those voters would not have listened to a word he said. The post right above this one proves what I'm trying to say.

Why not keep it real? As if the majority of politicians 'keep it real'? Do you honestly believe that?

And look, there's your racism, at long last, finally coming out. Now you don't have a damn card to play in the future. I know you think us whities are afraid of black people, but you would be wrong. However, if that makes you sleep better at night, you just go on ahead and keep thinking it.

Of course, Barack Obama is laughing, doubled over, because he trolled a much larger base of white people the last two elections.

Companies target certain demographics when advertising, judging by it's TV spots, one might be lead to believe McDonalds is only for black people.

What percentage of American voters are "low info?"

And of course, you're not putting yourself in that category, are you?
