GOP State Representative says that they MUST SUPRESS Black Vote....
to win:

http://www.freep.com/news/politics/vote13e_20041013.htm

"State Rep. John Pappageorge's comments at a Republican county meeting in July -- "If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time in this election cycle" -- were first reported in the Free Press, but now have become a national symbol for Democrats. Since then, Pappageorge, R-Troy, has resigned as a chairman of Michigan Veterans for Bush-Cheney.

On Tuesday, former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Detroit, Democratic Party chairman Mark Brewer and television Judge Greg Mathis reminded reporters of Pappageorge's remark as they presented a plan to enlist an army of lawyers and volunteers at the polls on Election Day."

Why would any Minority vote for the party of Facsism, Bigotry, and the KKK???

It's official, American Republican Party = German Nazi Party!

:puke:


:mad:

1. Holy Crap! What a scumbag!
Does that motherf**ker even remember the 1968 riots? And does that dipsh*t want them to happen again.

Once again the Free Press is showing itself to be a stellar news paper. I'm a Chicagoan, never been to MI, and I read that paper!

2. But wait, wasn't the Repuke party the one which was saying that
Dems "automatically assume they have the black vote" and that the Repukes tout the record number of Black/African American votes which have "switched" to their party?

Don't they show each and every black person that jumped to them at their convention?

3. If you read the Detroit Free Press as I do
you'd have also seen the letter Pappageorge wrote to the editor trying to explain himself. He claims he was talking about "something else" at the time. I'm sorry, there is only one way to translate, interpret or spin what he said. Case closed. He merely let slip what is well known in Rethuglican circles.
