I knew that FReepers wouldn’t fall for the authors historic revisionism trying to peg Republicans as being the promoters of ‘hate politics’ by using the issue of a furloughed criminal who committed more crimes while on ‘vacation’ from jail, who was also black. No it was that paragon of virtue Albert Gore Jr. who raised the issue.

The left has been so gleeful in their attempt to smear Republicans as racists all trying to whip up fear of a ‘Willie Horton’ while applying selective amnesia to the fact that it was Gore who brought up the issue, that Michael Moore even ran the add in “Bowling for Columbine”. Of course it was a splice job of the Gore add, the Bush add (they picked up Gore’s issue), with a incorrect caption added by Moore (originally saying Horton committed murder while out on furlough, since corrected on the DVD to say he committed assault), and showing a picture of Horton which I do not believe was done in either add (any FReeper input on the specifics of the adds clearly showing Horton was a black man?).

This is the ad I remember.

I also found another that I do not remember where one can clearly see that Willie Horton is black.
