Midterms 2014 Ads: Democrats Use Race, Trayvon Martin And Mike Brown Shootings To Court Black Voters


"Campaign pieces featuring a photo of a lynching and a radio ad that refers to the killing of Trayvon Martin are being used in North Carolina to energize black voters to re-elect Sen. Kay Hagan. In Arkansas, black voters are being courted by ads suggesting that the GOP is trying to impeach President Barack Obama and is “targeting our children.” African-American voters in Georgia are seeing ads that focus on threats to Obama’s presidency rather than on the Democratic Senate candidate, Michelle Nunn.

Desperate to turn out African-American voters -- a critical sector of the party base -- Democratic candidates and party operatives are using racially charged images and language in the final days before Election Day. It's difficult to gauge the strategy's impact on black voter turnout because the approach is almost unheard of."
LOL.....yep....first thing WEDNESDAY morning.

If Zimmerman was black and Martin was white; we probably would have never heard about it. Zimmerman might have even been viewed as a hero defending himself from a racial motivated attack.
And how would that work, when Zimmerman recorded himself chasing the other person down the street?

No, reverse the races, and Zimmerman goes to jail, which is exactly where he belongs. Nobody would pick through Martin's Facebook or Twitter accounts, trying to prove that he was a "thug". Nobody would make up nonsense about how he was making drugs.and nobody would believe the idiotic story about how Martin ran away, and then ran back and attacked Zimmerman.
