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.

"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?

Don't know enough about the dude yet to figure out which it is.

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

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.

This is why a lot of people tend to think ill of those down south. It is people like this iggnorant piece of cow cack that are sorry excuses for human beings and are given aid and comfort by the republican party. It's thier kind of people, that's why.

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?
