BIRMINGHAM -- A Democratic candidate for attorney general denies the Holocaust occurred and said Friday he will speak this weekend to a "pro-white" organization that is widely viewed as being racist.

Larry Darby concedes his views are radical, but he said they should help him win wide support among Alabama voters as he tries to "reawaken white racial awareness" with his campaign against Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson.

The state Democratic chairman, Joe Turnham, said the party became aware of some of Darby's views only days ago and was considering what to do about his candidacy.

"Any type of hatred toward groups of people, especially for political gain, is completely unacceptable in the Alabama Democratic Party," said Turnham.

10. This guy is a primary candidate, not the winner of the primary

The winner of the Democratic primary June 6 will face either Republican Attorney General Troy King or Mark Montiel, who is opposing King in the GOP primary......

Any jerk with the filing fee can run, doesn't mean they'll win....

12. Aw, c'mon, now, we're the "big tent" party. Surely we have

room for holocaust deniers of the white supremacist variety alongside the "feminists for life" and pro-life democrats. I mean geez, c'mon already. We can sit them next to the "you can't rape a whore/slut/hooker/wife" people and the "marriage is between and man and a woman" people.

We've got plenty of room under this big tent.
