UPDATE:I’m putting this back up top. Insider Advantage and others are linking to this post and lots of people are wondering where we got the piece. A trusted source subscribes to Miss Angela’s email list. This flyer went out over that email list this morning.
Wow! The Democrats have now fired off the first substantial use of the race card this year. This flyer, click it for a larger view, came to us from a source who says former Secretary of State candidate Angela Moore is behind these.
The flyer shows civil rights activists being beaten down in the street and underneath shows a picture of Governor Sonny Perdue signing the voter ID law.
There you have it folks. That’s what the Democrats are going to be using this year to get people to vote. No, they aren’t saying go vote for Mark Taylor. Notice that.
They have adopted, in effect, Miss. Angela’s old campaign song, “Vote for Miss. Angela,

Someone tell me what is on that card that is false? If you look closely, the top picture has Congressman John Lewis on it when he was getting a serious beat down trying to get disenfranchised people the right to vote and the second picture is Sonny Perdue signing a piece of paper that creatse more obstacles for disenfranchised people to vote. What is so inaccurate about the piece?
Oh I get it, white folks don’t like the truth being out there in the open. You can’t hide it. Sonny didn’t sign that piece of paper to stop supposedly voter fraud in rural communities. If you believe that then there’s a bridge in Macon that I want to sell you. If you believe that Sonny and the Republicans don’t want Blacks folks to turn out in record numbers, then there is a piece of land next to Disneyworld that I can get you for $5 million – hey I know the Governor who owns it.

Our Black people using the race card when they complain about illegal immigrants voting in the L.A. Mayor race? Was Caesar Chavez a racist when he said immigration was a tool to drive wages down? Was MLK successor Robert Abernathy & Walter Mondale and the Chavez brothers’ racist when they had demonstrations to block the borders? Would you call Caesar and Manuel Chavez vigilantes for running a Minuteman project to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders?
So “Vote or Die” is worse than implying we’ll be nuked if we vote Democrat?
one big D:
What is inaccurate is that the caption for the top picture implies that the people on top are the same as the people on the bottom — at least their party is the same.
Clearly the white folks being John Lewis in the top picture are part of the Democratic Machine from that time period — not Republicans.
Erick,
Those Democrats from that era, like… say Zell Miller …?
And, all the other used to be Dems like … I don’t know … Sonny “I am old enough to have discriminated proudly” Perdue?
Yeap. The Democratic Party changed. And, those who didn’t change with it, became Republicans.
Thanks, Erick, for reminding me.
Minority rights. I will say it again. Minority Rights. The GOP only seems to understand tyranny of the Majority. Well…that worked for the Nazis for a little more than a decade. Keep it up, you will only help the Democratic Party stay in office to fix America. The Voter I.D. is a voter suppression tactic used to decrease votes for the Democratic party, not to legitimize elections. What would conservatives say if voting machines had to be distributed according to population? The GOP would bitch an moan about equity and how even distribution of voting machines causes long lines in the suburbs and wealthy areas, and that those liberal sympathizers of the poor and elderly do not believe in Democracy.
“Well…that worked for the Nazis for a little more than a decade.”
I was waiting for the Nazi reference. It’s just not a liberal hate-fest without playing the race card (see: Al Sharpton) and calling the GOP “Nazis” (see: Robert Byrd).
Now all we need is Mad Dog to reference some Karl Marx and the donkeys are in business.
Here we go again. Why don’t some of you Democrats tell me what your party is doing to ensure fair and accurate elections. I’ll bet the answer is “nothing.” Calling Republicans racist for working to ensure that every voter is legally qualified is disingenuous and downright deceitful.
As far as this argument about what Party discriminated the most–how many of you Democrats like Jimmy Carter? He ran for governor in GA in 1970 as a staunch segregationist and soon after became President of the United States. Show me a Republican with a record like that. I can come up with numerous Democrats.
I’m sick of seeing the GOP get beat up over racist allegations that have no legs. The public knows better, too.
Fogle and jsm:
Funny how Robert Byrd compared the GOP to Nazi’s when he himself was a member of the KKK. And as I pointed out yesterday, what party gave birth to the KKK? It was democrats,
they were p.o’d that Abe Lincoln (a republican)had the audacity and the nerve to interpret that slavery was wrong and it’s time had come to go.
RandyMiller,
Touche.
Konop,
I left this on your site after following the pingback and reading your post on this advertisement. Your post is pure f**king trash:
This is the worst post I’ve seen online in a while. First of all, immigration has nothing to do with the civil rights movement and moreover, you’re just using it as a red herring to cover the fact that Dems ALWAYS play the freaking race card. I can’t even believe you would lead a post with a clear ad hominem “attack.” Get a clue.
Beyond that, you have got to be so far beyond the lefty-loon line to believe that this advertisement could be justifiably “right.” Honestly.
“This piece works because it’s true?” Seriously? You must be out of your freaking mind. It is race-baiting fear-mongering garbage. Linking any actions of Governor Purdue to the atrocities committed against blacks during the Civil Rights era is not only wrong, but it’s libelous. It’s sickening.
As far as these “rampant voter suppressions,” I would love to see your evidence. And please refrain from using Cynthia McKinney quotes.
And lastly, this: “Our Black people using the race card when they complain about illegal immigrants voting in the L.A. Mayor race?” Sounds like “racism” to call them “your black people.”
Fogle,
Would you settle for a quote from Engels instead of Marx?
Given how this thread has turned into a hate feast, just as I suspected, I feel vindicated! Not that anyone cares about my feelings.
It remains that Miss Angela has a right to her point of view that the bashing of “lessor race” by Democrats with clubs back in the day is only slightly different than the paper bashing of voting rights by former Democrats turned Republican.
Cagle and Taylor can talk about the two Georgias and how we need to have ONE Georgia. But, hanging a bunch of paper with the Georgia seal all over it, aka No Vote for the Elderly in Rural Areas, highlights that we have TWO Georgias.
Metro Atlanta where everyone has to produce photo ID before breaking wind and rural Georgia where people know each other on a first name basis (and don’t break wind in public).
“Not that anyone cares about my feelings.”
Mad Dog,
For the first – and probably last – time, we can agree on something. It’s nice to finally find our middle ground.
It’s too bad the rest of your comment is nonsense.
Mad Dog,
I agree Miss Angela has the right to express her opinion. Which means that other people have the right to express their opinion about the mailer and Miss Angela’s opinion.
You are suggesting that Georgia needs two sets of laws, one for metro, and a second for everywhere else. That makes a lot of sense.
… oh, and what the hell is a “hate feast?”
“You are suggesting that Georgia needs two sets of laws, one for metro, and a second for everywhere else. That makes a lot of sense.”
Or we could just annex the whole of metro Atlanta to some third world country.
Fogle,
I’m just forever hooked on phonics.
You quoted John when you posted, “And lastly, this: “Our Black people using the race card when they complain about illegal immigrants voting in the L.A. Mayor race?
“Which brings up … my point about genetics or nature vs. nuture … made way earlier in this thread.”
Kudos on the quality segue.
At any rate, I figured that I had already attacked Konop on his “racist” statement – no need to kick him while he’s down by also attacking his poor grammar.
Oh Fogle, you are such a dog.
But, if his grammer is corrected, it’s not a racist statement.
Fogle,
I do not get why you are calling me a racist?
Konop,
Just wanted you to see what it was like to be on the other end of the liberal application of the term. See, when you apply “racism” to everything – like you and other liberals have – it isn’t that difficult to argue that pretty much anyone and everyone is a racist.
Why do you call me a liberal?
Konop,
You said earlier today on your site that:
“Anybody stop to think that Miss Angela might be freakin right?! There is, in fact, rampant voter suppression. It is most rampant in African American communities. I think the piece works because it’s true. At least I hope it works.”
Defending “Miss Angela,” in this situation, places you just left of… I don’t know… let’s go with Louis Farrakhan.
I was replying to Emily who said that.
I said the following;
Our Black people using the race card when they complain about illegal immigrants voting in the L.A. Mayor race? Was Caesar Chavez a racist when he said immigration was a tool to drive wages down? Was MLK successor Robert Abernathy & Walter Mondale and the Chavez brothers’ racist when they had demonstrations to block the borders? Would you call Caesar and Manuel Chavez vigilantes for running a Minuteman project to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders?
John,
If there is a Hell for you, it would be an endless airplane ride with Fogle sitting next to you.
Left side, right side. Doesn’t matter.
For Fogle, it would saying the word Liberal everytime he opens his mouth for eternity.
Mad DoG
You should have your own show!
This isn’t my show?
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal…
It’s not so bad…
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal…
I could get used to this…
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal…
Oh yeah… I could definitely do this for all of eternity…
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal…
After the plan ride with Konop, of course…
Liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal, liberal…
In the words of a Black man that was beaten by White cops in the 1990’s, “Can’t we all just get along???”
OK maybe after Nov. 7th.
one big D,
LOL!
Dang good point.
one big D,
That depends on whether or not there are any runoffs…
