Wow! That's a shocker. I never heard a Democratic black politician sliming another black Democrat by comparing him/her to a supposedly evil white guy. But I didn't know that Majette was a Democrat, either.

I will note that Earl Hilliard had a campaign ad that morphed his opponent, Artur Davis, from a black man to a white man.

Did he win?

Davis did, not Hilliard, and not only did Davis knock out an incumbent, but he did it decisively. I don't think Hilliard (who had some serious ethics committee problems, plus that trip to Libya) has even conceded. Hilliard had a sea of Muslim money coming in, pushed by CAIR--and Davis had a sea of Jewish money coming in. But that wasn't what won the election for Davis. Davis went door to door in the district with community leaders. Hilliard's idea of campaigning was to bring in--GET THIS--Al Sharpton. Yes, he brought Al Sharpton to campaign for him in Alabama.

McKinney seems to be making the same mistakes as Hilliard, and that's fine by me. CAIR is also pushing for donations to McKinney's campaign, and I found that from previous threads on her. What with her ties to the Nation of Islam (she writes a guest column for Final Call), and has accepted campaign donations from Abdurahman Alamoudi and some of his friends, from this thread (and I'll dig out the other links, if you need them).

When Abdurahman Alamoudi, friend and sometime adviser on Islamic affairs to Hillary Rodham Clinton, stood before a Muslim crowd in Lafayette Park across from the White House this week and passionately declared his support for the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, he was revealing the true face of "moderate" Islam. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/722854/posts?page=20#20
