The Democrats in Ohio Lash Out at “Racist” Voters
Forget his inexperience, his socialist politics, his anti-military votes, his racist associates, his Marxist mentors, his pastor, his anti-Semitic friends and church,… The reason Barack is behind is because of the thousands of racist voters.
Maggie Thurber passed this on from Vindy.com:
With the Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees in the Mahoning Valley today for a rally, two local Democratic state legislators said they believe a main reason polls show a tight race is because of racist voters.
“Race — that’s the only reason people in the Valley won’t vote for him,” said state Rep. Thomas Letson of Warren, D-64th, about Barack Obama, his party’s presidential nominee. “There are 1,000 reasons to vote for Obama and one reason why you won’t — race.”
“Staunch Republicans” who make up 35 percent to 40 percent of the population would never vote for a Democrat regardless of race, Letson said.
It is the independents, the “swing voters” and Democrats who are or will support Republican John McCain who are the “racists,” Letson and state Rep. Robert F. Hagan of Youngstown, D-60th, said.
The comments were made Monday with the pair criticizing McCain, a U.S. senator from Arizona, and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, his vice presidential running mate.
When told of the comments from Hagan and Letson, Mark Munroe, the Mahoning County Republican vice chairman, said he was shocked.

Rush Limbaugh said today that Barack Obama is stoking racism for his critical McCain ads that are running in Spanish.
