Tea Party Pub: "The Republican Party doesn't want black people to vote . . ."

In Texas, the mask slips.

It’s obvious that the efforts of the Democrats’ Battleground Texas are making some Republicans nervous. And that’s leading to some unforced errors that are creating some very bad publicity for the Texas GOP.

Take Texas GOP chairman Steve Munisteri‘s efforts to drum up support for “Battlefield Dallas,” an attempt by Dallas Republicans to counter the Battleground Texas push. Munisteri flew up to Dallas for an event and said all the right things during his speech.

It was billed of “the first public meeting of Battlefield Dallas.”

But a Tea Party Republican made the headlines when he had this to say about GOP voter outreach efforts.

“I’m going to be real honest with you, the Republican Party doesn’t want black people to vote if they’re going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats,” Ken Emanuelson said.

Well, that's fine, Mr. Emanuelson, but talk is cheap. What are you going to do about it? Something to do with voter-ID laws? Caging lists? Literacy tests? Poll-taxes? Klansmen patrolling the polling places? What?

There's a "mask?"

The GOP has been anti-minority since Goldwater. They started by getting people like Strom Thurmond to come over and join their "brown people suck" party.

There's a "mask?"

Well, not a very effective one, as you can see . . .

But they used to at least pretend to care about voting rights.
