NewsDay: Unabashed Racist Wins GOP Primary in Tennessee
With 86 percent of the primary vote counted Thursday, write-in candidate Dennis Bertrand had just 1,554 votes compared to 7,671, or 83 percent, for James L. Hart, a believer in the discredited, phony science of eugenics. In November, the GOP candidate will oppose Rep. John Tanner, a Democrat who has represented the northwest Tennessee district for 15 years.
Hart, 60, vows if elected to work toward keeping "less favored races" from reproducing or immigrating to the United States. In campaign literature, Hart contends that "poverty genes" threaten to turn the United States into "one big Detroit."
TrackBackDid you catch Samantha Bee's interview of Heeney, the Republican candidate for Ft. Lauderdale's state house seat? A major plank of his platform is that pool-playing lesbians have undermined American values. I'm really not kidding.
After watching the interview, the boyf said, "To be fair, Florida haven't had their primary yet," so I checked who his opponents might be - he's running unopposed for the Republican nod.
I love everyone, of course, but I love wackos more than just about anyone else, as a group.
