Look, Maine doesn't have a huge black population--go up there and be prepared to stand out a bit--but that said, this guy is a frigging idiot. A frigging racist idiot.

How nice that he's after the Chinese as well--safety in numbers?

My favorite paragraph in that article:

Maine People’s Alliance communications director Mike Tipping issued a statement Wednesday condemning Webster’s actions. “First it was union members, then it was college students, now it’s African Americans,” Tipping wrote. “Every one of the outlandish and offensive claims Chairman Webster has made in an attempt to restrict voting rights has proven to be completely untrue. I look forward to the day, coming very soon, when he is no longer given a public platform to launch his conspiracy theories.”
