Rand Paul hires Neo Confederate as director of new media.

It appears the Republicans have decided that white voters, and voter ID laws is all they need to seize control.

FRANKFORT — Kentucky Democratic Party Chairman Dan Logsdon called on U.S. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Wednesday to condemn U.S. Sen. Rand Paul's hiring of a staffer with a history of making controversial comments about race.

Washington Free Beacon, a conservative online publication, reported Tuesday that Paul staffer Jack Hunter is a former talk-radio host who called himself the "Southern Avenger" and is a former member of the League of the South, a group that advocates Southern secession.

"Senator McConnell likes Republicans to call him leader, and he has made himself heard on every issue he deems of consequence, real and imagined," Logsdon said in a news release. "I urge him to exercise some real leadership and condemn the inflammatory and hateful influences within his ranks and to take steps to rid his party of this extremist bigotry."

Hunter is Paul's director of new media and helped him write his 2011 book The Tea Party Goes to Washington.

Is a VA neo confederate. Despicable bigoted souls. Try to avoid their brand of crazy at all costs.

"Take a look on Democratic Underground

They have the gov't paid trolls out, trying to limit the outrage & rebellion on there.

If that is the reaction of hard core Dems to the news stories on the NSA, I want to stoke up some more of it.

Lots of traffic on DU.

It's the most popular Dem internet site, except for Huffy Po - where everything meaningful gets censored."
