It amazes how these guys will troll for votes. Davis reminds me of our Illinois governor George Ryan's anti-death penalty and pro-Castro pimping that he mistakenly thought would get him back in the game.

Davis hands Simon the club with which hwe will be bludgeoned over the head with until election day. Davis may have just lost he election by appearing with jackson, who I'm sure insisted that Davis comment on reparations to get the photo op. If Davis supports this statement, he will lose about 50% of the dem vote, including all the hispanics and asians (they know that no matter what Davis says about including them, they will on the floor at Jacksons reparations fiesta waiting for crumbs to fall from the table) and if he backs away, will have Jesse Hijack-son and the Rainbow Extort-a matic calling for his head.

This was an incredibly dumb move for a seasoned non-african politician.

It looks like Davis has driven out anyone in his organization who might talk sense to him. Either he doesn't listen to anyone around him who tells him that reparations are crazy, or there is no one around who tells him that. Remember that the Jim Jones death cult was based in Demoncrat SF Bay, that is why a congressman from that area was in Jonestown. It seems that the Davis campaign has become a Kool Aid drinking political suicide cult.

I was chatting with my mom about this topic. Don't Blacks realize they will be paying for their own reparations if this EVER passes? They are currently paying taxes and where will the reparations come from? Gads my mom is so smart. And most ppl can see right through Davis.

Reparations have been paid in full with the blood of American Soldiers (more deaths than any other war we have been envolved with) during the Civil War. Men of color today are owed nothing as they are the very people that have benefited by the great sacrifice that was made to end slavery and succession in this country.

There is no debt. The only thing anyone in this country is owed is an equal chance, no more no less.

huge campaign funds or not, this tells me Davis is in big trouble with his poll numbers and knows it. He's trying to pander to every body that may have a vote.

Look for him to endorse the people from Mecha next.

If Klintoon is the first black president of US, then Davis must be the first pro-everything-except-sanity, black governor of CA.

Prove it...heheh.

Blacks make up 12% of the population but only contribute 4% of the payroll taxes. As far as Davis is concerned, I don't think he was referring to taxpayers but American business who were involved in any minute way with southern slave holders.

Doofus is truly grasping at straws...desperate in his bid for Gov.

I just told my very liberal mother-in-law about this and I think that her vote for Simon is now sewed up.

Each of us need to make sure that any liberals we know are aware of this article in the San Francisco Chronicle. Go Simon!

Well, if he is having a fit of consciousness, I suggest a good beginning would be to advocate a movement to start giving money back to the hard working people that he and other leftist garbage eating RATS have stolen via a criminal extortion they euphemastically label as "taxes."

Good friggin' grief. Reparations? Davis has been drinking lighter fluid or something. I think the man is seriously unstable.

Put him on a boat with Sharpton and Jackson and let him float back to Africa. That's all I've got to say.

I think Napoleon was quoted to the effect that you should on no account interfere with an enemy who is engaged in self-destruction.

Let the Democrats debate this issue . . . with a little help from Ward Connerly . . .

How about a song called " In Desperation" done to the tune of "Infatuation"?
