1. I heard some, and himself, on Unfiltered AAR this morning. Enough
for me. Who is the democrat who will run against him? He has 1.3 million dollars already! donated by all the "mainstream" repug groups.

2. He's trying to set himself apart from the other candidates
Edited on Wed Jun-09-04 10:43 AM by BlackVelvetElvis
by being himself (there a alot of candidates for this seat). He's a divisive lunatic.
He panders to the lowest and ugliest denominator. Drive around town and you would be surprised at the number of "Robinson for Congress" signs in people's yards.
One edit: He would love the free publicity.

21. I think he should get a lot of publicity.
It's a Republican district. And if he wins, he'll make headlines forevermore. We need him in Congress.

35. Make headlines? Yes. Make policy?
That's the rub.

Look at all the credit J.C. Watts got just because he was the only black Republican in the House. And J.C. was at least moderate on a couple of issues.

If this guy becomes the only black Republican in the House, he will suddenly have national credibility, because he'll be the token hauled in front of the cameras every time the Republicans don't want to be seen as racist. That alone will give him a certain amount of believability and power.

And we CAN'T allow that to happen.

3. "I will never blink in a staring contest..."
"I will never blink in a staring contest with the liberal Democrats. I will always fight for what's right and I will never go native"

What the hell does that mean?

IOW - I'm not sure what I'm suggesting either, LOL!!!

4. That is the scariest sh*t.....
.... I have heard in a long time. I honestly thought it was a joke (especially the "Aliens" piece). How the hell do cracks like this get elected? How do they look at themselves in the mirror?

5. What a friggin' embarrasment to North Carolina
And people here wonder why business sucks here. Maybe it's because too many people tolerate and even support this kind of bigotry.

Speaking of supporters, one of them is Jack Kemp. You can admonish him here: jfkemp@empower.org."

Some of these are local or regional companies, but you can express your displeasure to, or withhold your support from, these contributors to the Robinson campaign:

JACK LAUGHERY, PAPA JOHNS PIZZA/PRESIDENT

George R. Hearst, Director of Hearst-Argyle corporation

K&W Cafeterias

RBC Financial Group

Centura Bank

PRIM, BILLY MR WINSTON SALEM,NC 27104 BLUE RHINO INC./OWNER

CRAIG, DANIEL GIBSONVILLE,NC 27249 RH BARRINGER/OWNER

DUDLEY, EUNICE MS SUMMERFIELD,NC 27358 DUDLEY PRODUCTS/CFO

FLOW, DON WINSTON SALEM,NC 27104 FLOW MOTORS/AUTODEALER

20. And I just sent a curt letter to Papa John's....
...letting them know my movie theater won't do business with them any longer.

16. yes....thanks for the list
i notice that eunice dudley is on the list. the dudley family have become quite wealthy selling their hair care products in the african american community, and i personally, am offended by their support of this a**hole. this guy has been trying to position himself for years to become a power player in the republican party; ala JC Watts & Clarence Thomas, et al.

I'll be passing this list along to family & friends. Dammit, looks like i'll have to add K&W to my boycott list along with Walmart & Home Depot.

This should be posted in the N.C. Forum as well so we know who our friends are.

24. It's also an underhanded attempt...
...to "sanitize" Jesse Helms. Make him all about "good christian values" and "sensible immigration policy", and infer that since there CAN be a "black Jesse Helms", Jesse wasn't a racist. It's an attempt to make a "black Jesse Helms" sound less absurd than a "jewish Hitler".

25. i called the number listed . . .
and spoke to a staffer there . . .

i asked them specifically about the illegal immigrant ad (where they equated illegal immigration with a murderous crime wave) and likened the potrayal of the spanish speaking voice ad the end of the ad to the nasty stereotypes of african americans eating watermelons and how that is hurtful to people.

the staffer told me he was asian american and that he saw no problem with the characterization because it was simply someone speaking in spanish.

i asked him how a sing songy obvious jab at latinos could be construed as appropriate and then asked him what he thought about stereotypical portrayals of asians and the way they speak.

he told me thank you as if to end the call.

i told him his candidate was a sell-out uncle tom.

what would possibly possess these people?
