VOTER INTIMIDATION? - Election Flyers With Lynching Photos Plastered On Churchgoer's Cars

ELECTION FLIERS WITH LYNCHING PHOTO APPEAR IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY
An ugly period in America's history is now taking center stage in the 2014 elections.


Churchgoers in Cumberland County were left shaken and disturbed when leaving services Sunday morning. They found fliers with images of a lynching plastered on their cars.

Fayetteville police say the fliers appear to be hate materials, and, because there is an implied threat to the president, it's likely federal agents will now be involved.

The fliers state "Kay Hagan doesn't win! Obama's impeachment will begin." The caption is over a disturbing photo of the lynching of three African-American men from 1920 in Duluth, Minnesota.

The fliers were left on vehicles parked at the Kingdom Impact Global Ministry church on Murchison Road, which has a large African-American congregation.

4. I don't think "voter intimidation" is an accurate description.

The flyer appears to be saying if Hagan is not re-elected then the President would be subject to a political lynching.

Voter intimidation aims to keep people from voting. The flyer is attempting, rather ham-handedly, to drive them to the polls.

5. "Pro-Hagan"?

I wouldn't assume that a Dem would use such an image.

6. As with most hate lit...

...it's barely coherent enough to be identified as such.
