Black Vote Will Be Crucial To Democrats

http://fairfieldweekly.com/news/featured-news/black-vote-will-be-crucial-to-democrats-this-election

"The black vote will be crucial to this election, announced Organizing for America political director Yohannes Abraham during a conference call with state Rep. Don Clemons, a member of Connecticut’s Black and Puerto Rican caucus.

Abraham urged African Americans to “get the president’s back.” In 2008, when President Obama won the election, 2 million more black voters cast a ballot than in 2004."

3. I meant worse than it is now.

It will make the anti-ACORN crap look like child's play. These fuckers do not consider blacks and hispanics to be "Real Americans", that is what Birtherism is all about, it is racist code for "blacks are not Real Americans".

5. somehow

I doubt their pouting and posturing will matter much to minority voters determined to participate. That's ultimately what they'd like to affect with their mischief and threats. I'm much more concerned with alleviating the anger of those who are unfairly or illegally blocked or hindered from carrying out their constitutional right than I worry about some ignorant backlash.
