Shades of the Inevitable: Arkansas Republican Speaks Kindly of Slavery.
No one should expect them to get <em>less</em> crazy.
The opening lines of the story say it all.
ITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas Republicans tried to distance themselves Saturday from a Republican state representative's assertion that slavery was a "blessing in disguise" and a Republican state House candidate who advocates deporting all Muslims.
The claims were made in books written, respectively, by Rep. Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro and House candidate Charlie Fuqua of Batesville. Those books received attention on Internet news sites Friday.
