Don King's Bush Love Can Only Help Democrats

Robert Furs


The Republican Party seems to think that black people are devoid of any sense of decency or critical thought.

They believe that putting former boxing promoter and menace to society Don King on television screaming “George Walker Bush four more years, George Walker Bush four more years!”, will somehow bring in black Republican votes. The Republicans have even paired him with the goofiest whiteboy in America, Republican National Committee chairman Ed Gillespie. Look for this America-loving duo of racially harmonized Bush love coming to a city or TV screen near you as they partake in a joyous cross-country tour.

3. Check out "Republicans Catch the Beat"!

Gillespie said he was very concerned with how Republicans looked during the 2000 campaign. “We really looked out of place visiting those black churches,” he said. “Our folks cringed every time a choir director said, ‘clap your hands,’ and we were required to respond.

4. The Don King endorsement is BAD news for us Democrats
Don King is better at fixing fights than Katherine Harris. Obviously we're going to need the TKO in order to prevent things from "going to the cards".

5. Can you Imagine?
Can you imagine how outraged the Rethugs would be if the Kerry Campaign had a famous Convicted felon working for them?!

Last week, I read an article about how Sean Penn and Robert Downy Jr. were supporting Kerry...There is nothing wrong with that, since they are both very talented, very intelligent men. They appeared in a film about the '92 elections which was highly entertaining. I do highly doubt though, the Kerry campaign would hire them to be a "Public Face" for their campaign, due to their criminal pasts...The Drug and Assault charges Downy and Penn had are nothing compared to the rap sheet of Don King. He is just a thug.

6. Were I not innured to the absurdity of the year 2004,
I would have thought that this was a parody accidentally reported as true. Check out the Telegraph's quote:

" warned against being taken for granted by the Democrats. He added: 'I believe that African-American voters will benefit from a two-party system.'"

(Fuckin' A, Ed. So will the rest of us. That's why we're trying to get you bastards away from control of every branch of the federal government.)
