re: #54 Targetpractice

Hence why the most effective attack on welfare that the GQP have ever waged is the image of the “Welfare Queen” and the “Young Buck.”

Or how the press in the aftermath of Katrina described white folks as “finding supplies” and black folks as “looters.”

I still remember how Nixon smeared McGovern in 1972. McGovern supported a basic minimum income of $1,000 a year. Nixon and his stooge Connolly printed up stacks of $1,000 bills with images of McGovern giving a bucket of chicken to black people sitting on a doorstep. Sadly that worked with the folks in my home town. Nixon carried my home town by a landslide. The last time a Republican carried it was 1932. Sadly my home town is redder than the Deep South now…
