Stacey Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 08-15-2017 | Greg Bluestein

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it "remains a blight on our state and should be removed."

"We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union," Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.

Abrams is going down hard if she’s the nominee in November. This insane demand is to get her past her “Becky” opponent in the Rat primary, by getting angry Blacks to the polls. It will likely work, dooming the Dems in the fall.

Yes, and the Democrats just nominated the nutty one:

Evans would have been viable in the general election against Cagle/Kemp. Abrams is a nut and will lose big, 'blue wave' or no.

I can't help but believe she only won because Georgia is over 30% black, and they're mostly Democrats, so a strong majority of Democratic Party primary voters are black, and they voted for the black candidate over the safe, electable one.

Stonehenge was built by the Druids who used it for virgin sacrifices. So will the #MeToo movement call for that to be taken down?

See more and more Ds openly running on gun control...

I have a feeling that this is going to awaken a whole lot of people who wouldn’t vote if you paid them BUT this is the kind of thing that gets peoples attention.

The Rs had best take advantage of these fools, not over critically, just point out what the idiots want to do to the citizenry.

saying it "remains a blight on our state and should be removed."

Obama, the Clintons, Carter, Ted Kennedy, on and on, remain a blight on our country. All monuments and tributes to them should be removed and/or destroyed.

Forget the monuments, forget the names of the parks and streets. The Democrat party was the main organization promoting slavery.

Ban the Demoncrats.

Don’t worry, she’s going to lose in November.

I went to my senior center today, which is also a voting precinct. It’s located in a very liberal, hipster neighborhood near downtown Atlanta. It was quiet, very few people voting.

I remember how excited Dems were 4 years ago when Jimmy Carter’s grandson ran for Governor and Sam Nunn’s daughter ran for the Senate. This year was very different, a lot less yard signs and much less Dem enthusiasm.

I see what did there. Bravo and I wholeheartedly agree.

I’m so sick of black race-baiting politicians.

I love it.

I went there when was a kid, spent a week there, saw the laser show on the mountain.

It was fantastic!

I will be royally pissed off if anyone does anything to Stone Mountain.

There’s nothing like a GA Democrat in a fit of righteous indignation.
