Ala. Dems: Darby Not Welcome in Party

(08-27) 05:01 PDT Montgomery, Ala. (AP) --

Democratic Party leaders want a former candidate for attorney general who denies the Holocaust occurred to stay out of their future primaries.

The party's executive committee passed a resolution Saturday informing Larry Darby that "he is not welcome in the Alabama Democratic Party."

Darby, the founder of the Atheist Law Center, responded by saying the vote shows that the state party's leadership is "intellectually and morally bankrupt."

State Rep. Alvin Holmes introduced the resolution, saying he doesn't believe Darby's views belong in the Democratic Party. Some prominent Democrats, including the Rev. Al Sharpton, urged the party to remove Darby from the ballot during the campaign.

I'm kind of new here. It sounds like we have some problems in Alabama.

EDIT: MY USE OF THE WORD "UNREAL" IN THE SUBJECT WAS IN RELATION TO THE FACT Mr. Darby WAS ALLOWED TO RUN AS A DEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALABAMA DEMS NEED TO FIND BETTER CANDIDATES IF THEY EXPECT TO CHIP AWAY AT THE FUNDIE VOTE.
