And the fact that Horton was black doesn’t make any difference. The fact is, he was a vicious criminal who was idiotically released on furlough, and he escaped and committed another heinous crime. The Dukakis forces knew they had no defense on this issue, so they played the race card. “Horton’s black, so you’re a racist for using this as an issue”.
The Willie Horton ad was a perfectly legitimate ad. Just as concern about illegal immigration is a perfectly legitimate concern.
Yes but the truth hurts liberals feelings.
