**Heavy Black Turnout Threatens Georgia Senator **
Wherein he opines, to witless:
Are you so utterly and morbidly dense you don’t grasp the implications of your speech? Or so corrupt that you would employ the basest human biases if it will gain you votes?
You just said, in essence, “Vote for me because I’m white”.
I’ll give you the benefit of the slightest doubt, that maybe you didn’t consider what you were saying. But the longer you take before you throw yourself blubbering in shame before the public, the less likely that becomes.
The alternative, of course, is that you’re a festering goat rectum, and a stain upon the office you infect. Rot. Soon.
I’m not really seeing what he said here’s that’s so objectionable. He didn’t say “Vote for me because I’m white.” That would be silly…Jim Martin’s white too.
He said he’s not worried about the early voting showing his opponent leading, because blacks, who tend to be early voters, vote for Democrats, and that the wave of early voting will inspire his supporters to come out for him on election day.
Now, I don’t know that he’s right when he’s saying this. There does seem to be increased African American turnout, and I think that might cost him the election, because, again, blacks tend to vote Democratic.
There’s plenty of good reasons to dislike Saxby Chambliss, but I don’t think this is a good one.
Truth is no defense here,** Cap’n.** It may well be true that yo mamma so fat she uses a hula hoop to keep her stockings up, but there is no reason for me to mention it.
But perhaps my wording is clumsy, perhaps he didn’t say “Vote for me because I’m white”, perhaps what he really meant was “Vote for me because you are white”. Yes, I can see how much better that is. Much the same way typhoid is better than ebola.
That’s a bit unfair. He said “vote for me or the other guy will win”. He didn’t bring race into it; African-Americans are apparently voting against him in droves.
He didn’t say that either. All he said was basically “Black people historically make up the majority of early voters.” I don’t see that that’s particularly offensive.
And there was a reason to mention it. He was trying to counteract the perception that the fact that his opponent is polling well among early voters means that he’s going to lose. So, obviously, the way to answer is is by saying that early voters tend to belong to a demographic that supports the opposing party.
I mean, how is that different than the following comment made before the 2006 election, about the senatorial race in Virginia? Do you consider it offensive too?
Saxby Chamblis has always struck me as the worst name in the senate. That collection of syllables sounds like a curse Hermione Grainger would yell at the top of her lungs.
Saxby Chambliss is a miserable boil on Georgia’s already dark past.
I have never felt more ashamed to be a Georgian than when he succeeded at obtaining Max Cleland’s senate seat through the worst campaign tactics this side of the Republican party.
Hell is too good for him. I’ll settle with him just losing his seat for right now.
