Dirty race-card tricks in Mississippi: The KKK ploy; Update: Neck and neck; Update: Democrat wins dirty; NRCC licks its wounds: “We came up short”

By Michelle Malkin  •  May 13, 2008 12:59 PM

Scroll down for updates…10:04pm Eastern: Results coming in…it’s neck and neck with Democrat Childers maintaining a slim lead…Update 10:25pm Eastern…The Democrat wins dirty…11:28pm Eastern…see my reaction to Boehner’s statement on the special election loss here

The special congressional election in Mississippi today is an important one. The GOP can’t afford another defeat and morale-deflator. Republicans have poured on the money to retain the longtime, reliably conservative district.

So, what are Dems up to? You won’t be surprised. Several Mississippi readers and bloggers e-mail that the Dems have pulled out the race card to smear GOP candidate Greg Davis as a KKK supporter. This is how it’s going to be.

Alan Lange at Y’all Politics reports:

On Monday afternoon (5/12), the DCCC was pushing the following ad on the streets of the district.

…This ad certainly begs some questions. First, if the DCCC was so proud of the message, why not put it on TV with the $1,000,000 they dropped in the campaign? Second, why only drop this on the street one day before the election? Would it be so that no press would pick up on it?

Candidly, I don’t know how this election shakes out. It’s a 3 point race that could go either way. However, this is why we do this site . . . to uncover this kind of naked racial bigotry that was unfortunately done, in this case, on Travis Childers’ behalf. So far, we have not received any press releases from Childers’ campaign, the DCCC or the Mississippi Democratic Party disavowing the message. For someone who has been as closely linked to the now disgraced trial lawyer and admitted felon, Joey Langston, as Childers has been, maybe it can be assumed that the “ends justifies the means” mindset runs through their circle of acquaintances.

Turns out the last-minute attack by the Dems was on the wrong mayor for the wrong statue.

Slimeballs.

Conservative Belle and Liberal Smash weigh in.

***

Update: The DCCC, naturally, stands by its slime.

Update 10:04pm Eastern: Y’all Politics is liveblogging the returns. Results here. It’s currently 51/49 Childers, with 366 of 462 precincts reporting.

Update 10:25pm Eastern: The Democrat wins in a race card-tainted race…

Democrats appeared to regain control of north Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District — for now.

Shortly after 9 p.m., with 80 percent of the precincts reporting, The Associated Press declared Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers the winner over Southaven Mayor Greg Davis, a Republican, in a runoff.

The runoff was necessary after a special election last month produced no outright winner.

Childers’ apparent victory means he will serve the final months of a term vacated by Roger Wicker. Wicker, a Republican, was appointed to the U.S. Senate after former Sen. Trent Lott resigned in December.

But Childers, 50, will face Davis, 42, again in the November general election. That race will determine who replaces Wicker in January for a full two-year term.

This fight ain’t over.

But ultimately, you know, voters will get “The Change They Deserve.”

***

Update 11:00pm Eastern. The NRCC issues a statement on yet another humiliating defeat. Dirty or not, it’s another sign of GOP disarray:

NRCC Chairman Tom Cole’s Statement on Special Election Results in Mississippi

Washington- NRCC Chairman Tom Cole released the following statement following the results of the special election runoff in Mississippi’s 1st Congressional District:

“We are disappointed in tonight’s election results. Though the NRCC, RNC and Mississippi Republicans made a major effort to retain this seat, we came up short.

“Tonight’s election highlights two significant challenges Republicans must overcome this November. First, Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat majority. Though the Democrats’ task will be more difficult in a November election, the fact is they have pulled off two special election victories with this strategy, and it should be a concern to all Republicans.

“Second, the political environment is such that voters remain pessimistic about the direction of the country and the Republican Party in general. Therefore, Republicans must undertake bold efforts to define a forward looking agenda that offers the kind of positive change voters are looking for. This is something we can do in cooperation with our Presidential nominee, but time is short.

“I encourage all Republican candidates, whether incumbents or challengers, to take stock of their campaigns and position themselves for challenging campaigns this fall by building the financial resources and grassroots networks that offer them the opportunity and ability to communicate, energize and turn out voters this election.”

    /sarcasm off

    Bear in mind that the KKK usually supports Democrats. Bear also in mind that many Dems are getting tired of the wolf-crying race card.

    Let’s hope they tire of it completely — soon. Otherwise, it’s going to be a looooooong year for the GOP.

    Smells like the perfect setup for a lawsuit for defamation and libel by Greg Davis.

    The liberal noise machine digs up eroneous data and publishes it as fact. You want me to act surprised that Democrats lied and made up stuff to smear their opponent?

    But in reality, the statue was of Jefferson Davis who was not the founder and never in the KKK. In fact, another place that has a statue of Jefferson Davis is the United States Capitol Building. Jefferson Davis is one of the two statues representing Mississippi, along with James Z. George. Furthermore, Senator Thad Cochran uses the desk of Jefferson Davis in the Capitol, one of two “heritage desks” (the other goes to Massachusetts Senior Senator and belonged to Daniel Webster).

    The democrats remind me of the posse in the Ox Bow Incident. I you haven’t seen the movie the posse, most of them, tracked down and hung three men for murder only to find out afterward that the supposed victim was very much alive. Take a good look at these faces and then drive them out of your area. What happens is the dem supporters believe this garbage and then one day one of your loved ones is walking down the street and jumped by those who have been told that you all are racists a bunch of kkk’ers. Once upon a time we really had kkk lynching people now the democrats use that to incite the next generation of murdering scum. The liberal fascists, American taliban or the leftist kkk take your pick they all fit. The protocols of the elders of the democrat party, without a doubt the enemies of all of us. All the apologies in the world wont change a thing.

    So the DCCC has attacked the wrong mayor for the wrong statue”

    Can they be sued for this? Can a re-election be demanded? Or is that how it plays now - which means I can just go toss out pamphlets over America saying that Obama is a pedophile and Hillary is a heavy cocaine abuser and is the 21st hijacker from 911, and McCain is wanted for rape in 5 states. Why not - if the dems can, why can’t I? hmm?

    While Rove is accused of being behind the ‘McCain’s black baby’ or whatever, and he denies it (and the left constantly regurgitates this claim to their benefit)- the Mississippi DCCC is actually responsible for this.

    Alledging racism (or calling someone a racist….) under the blanket of an emotional powerplay or alterior motive…. enrages me like no other.

    This creates and perpetuates the very blind eye mentality that TOS has showed us above. True (not BAD) ignorance resides because of false accusors and cuts society off from addressing true racism/racists out there.

    When another’s accusation lacks:

    1. facts
    2. based entirely on emotion;
    3. Or create a position for gaining absolute power/authority over a situation, by using the accusation from such a possition(typically happens out of the blue and is a bit of a stretch)

    You got yourself one sick puppy.

    The person responsible for this acusation should be taken to task publically.

    Furthermore, Forrest was one of the first post-war southerners to call for equality for blacks…going so far as to speak at a civil rights event.

    Not since the KKK’s members (and those who share their ideas on race) ditched the Democratic party following the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964. The Republican party has long since provided a very safe — and welcoming — haven for card-carrying Klan members and their sympathizers. Honestly, those sorts of people want nothing to do with the diversity-embracing, multiculturalism-propagating Democratic party.

    I’m not saying all Republicans are racist, because that isn’t true. But racists tend to vote Republican. It’s silly to pretend otherwise.

    I’m not saying all Republicans are racist, because that isn’t true. But racists tend to vote Republican. It’s silly to pretend otherwise.

    Looks like we got another one.

    On what basis do you find that more racist vote Republican? Also, do you think all racists are white?

    Certainly you’ve heard of David Duke (Democrat/KKK until he switched to (R) only to win by a small margin against the (D) incumbent)? What about Sen. Byrd? What about Rev. Wright?

    why would they (the KKK) endorse today’s Democrat?

    They wouldn’t and they don’t. Their values are wholly out of step with those of the party and its members.

    I would check out the last paragraph here.

    Money quote:

    There have been other proposals for how the handle the Forrest issue, like giving generic names to the parks and adding monuments of black heroes. Last week, the mayor of Southaven, Miss., a fast-growing city where many white Memphians have moved over the years, said he would be happy to have the Forrest equestrian statue in Southaven.

    And FYI, Davis was the mayor of Southaven in 2005, according to his website.

    So how is this flyer inaccurate? Has Davis himself denied this accusation?

    FYI feebs…Duke switched to Republican in 1988 (like a lot of Southern Democrats did after the Civil Rights Act of the 60’s…hmmm why would they switch then?). Duke took on another Republican (not a Democratic incumbent) for the vacated seat or Rep. Bob Livingston (R), who resigned due to an adultery scandal.

    When he ran for the Senate he won 43% (600,000+ votes) as the Republican candidate. How did he get that many votes if there is not some measure of racism in among the Republican constituency?

    As much as I hate finger pointing, would it not be fair to say that anyone who things Wright is right is a racist, and voting for the Obamanation. Does that mean that we can count %’s of racists in his votes if he gets the nomination?

    or would that be considered racist since he’s a man of color?

    I’d be curious how Duke got the nod for it though. He should have been pitched to the wayside for his hateful views too.

    I wouldn’t be so quick to judge, nyk. Up until 1994, native born Southerners voted almost exclusively democrat, out of a time honored tradition against “the Party of the North.” This must have included a majority of those who sympathized with the KKK, (Senator Byrd is a prime example.)

    Are you telling me that your average klansman today would vote for a “party of Lincoln” republican over a blue-dog democrat if given the choice? Are you that sure that the past 14 years of demographic changes in the South would erase 148 years of Southern democrat voting tradition overnight; that a klansman would not support a southern, conservative democrat today?

    I’m not as certain of your analysis as you are, my friend.

    Yes, I am — and not just those “card-carrying” members either. These are the people who left the party — as Johnson predicted — following the passage of the Civil Rights Act. The Democratic party’s liberal leanings on race don’t make it a comfortable place from which to cast their votes.

    The Democrats (Dixicrats, actually) were the party of the KKK until the 60’s. Nixon’s southern strategy was to get them to switch from Democrat to Republican because northern Democrats had forced integration on the South. Nixon was almost 100% successful — Stennis, Helms, Lott, … . Now, except the ancient Byrd, they’re all Republican. Republicans have carried the racist vote in the South ever since.

    I’m not a racist (although the accusation is hilarious coming from you), and I’m 100% certain that I have relationships — close, caring relationships — with far more people of every race that you do (or that you would care to).

    And frankly, I’ve never expressed any racist messages here (that’s where we differ, see?). You, on the other hand, manage to include your blatant hatred and anger for nearly everyone in everything you post.

    If you are the voice of conservatism — and I trust that you are not — the point about racists in the ranks is readily made.

    True, we’re both guessing here, and I agree that he was “a devoted follower of Jesus Christ” above all else. Do I think MLK would be, for example, pro-life? Certainly. But I also believe he would be stridently opposed to the war in Iraq (based on his opposition to the Vietnam War) and pro social programs aimed at aiding the poor (because of his Poor People’s Campaign). Consider the more radical tone of his message at the end of his life.

    But this is all conjecture, of course.
