"Black Jesse Helms" Robinson utterly humiliated in NC
Brad Miller soundly trouncing Vernon Robinson by a robust 30 points:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/states/NC/H/13/index.html

From Wikipedia:
Robinson's campaign has featured:

Immigration issues, including a radio ad that features mariachi music and states "If Miller had his way, America would be nothing but one big fiesta for illegal aliens and homosexuals."<4>

His opponent's personal life, alleging that Congressman Miller was a homosexual because he married somewhat late in life and has no children. Miller had to explain that his wife was unable to conceive due to a hysterectomy she had to undergo prior to their marriage.<5>

Challenges to Miller's priorities, accusing him of "deny our soldiers the body armor they need" and "instead of spending money on sickle-cell research", voting to spend "money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes in San Francisco"; FactCheck "found the ad misleading on several counts."<6>

A soundbite from Bill Cosby in an ad called a "lesson in tough love" that ends with the assertion that "the biggest problem facing blacks today isn't slavery or racism, it's the destruction of the family; the answer isn't racial quotas or a government handout, it's personal responsibility"<7>

On November 1, 2006, Robinson addressed the North Carolina State Univeristy College Republicans, and is reported to have iterated, among other things, that multicultural acceptance was a "stupid notion," that Spanish speakers had no place in the United States, and that "the lives and suffering of foreigners" weren't worth "one drop of American blood."

1. I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Complete nutbag. The term "black Jesse Helms" is an oxymoron. Robinson reminds me of that character on Chappelle's show that is the blind grand wizard of the KKK that doesn't know he's black. He's nothing more than a political whore who is delusional enough to think his garish views are going to make him stand out to all the white conservatives down here in NC. Only freeper wing-nuts would vote for his crazy ass.

Yeah Brad Miller!!!!
