Going nowhere fast

What a sad site: Black Republican Empowerment's page on "Black Republicans to make history in 2006."

It features the usual suspects, Ken Blackwell, Michael Steele, Lynn Swann, etc., but these folks also link to the incredible, embarrassing, self-loathing black man, Vernon Robinson, who's running against Brad Miller in North Carolina's 13th Congressional District.

I hadn't been to Vern's page in a while. He's done a little sprucing up. He removed the link to the "endorsements" page, because, well, he doesn't have any current ones that I can see. It might be due to his infamous Twilight Zone commercial. He touts it on his site, with the headline MSNBC's Chris Matthews calls Vernon's TV ad "amazing" and says he'll "remember it."

Well that's the truth. A transcript of the ad:

ANNOUNCER: If you're a conservative Republican, watching the news these days can make you feel as though you are in The Twilight Zone. Americans are under attack from Islamic extremists in every corner of the world. Homosexuals are mocking holy matrimony, and the lesbians and feminists are attacking everything sacred. Liberal judges have completely rewritten the Constitution. You can burn the American flag and kill a million babies a year, but you can't post the Ten Commandments or say "God" in public.


CHILDREN: One nation under --


ANNOUNCER: Seven out of every 10 black children are born out of wedlock, and Jackson and Sharpton claim the answer is racial quotas. And the aliens are here, but they didn't come in a spaceship. They came across our unguarded Mexican border by the millions.


VERNON ROBINSON: I'm Vernon Robinson. If you send me to Congress, I'll send that back to The Twilight Zone. I approve of this message and of traditional American values.

Read my earlier post on this commercial.

I must point you to the Issues page, which to me, tells you all you need to know about him -- Vernon Robinson is unhinged. There's no way "the Black Jesse Helms" needs to hold any elective office. Take a look at this (click to enlarge):



One of my favorite bits is the HOMOSEXUAL Importation Act section, where he says: "Vernon opposes Brad's plan to recruit thousands of foreign homosexuals to come to this country to be given American citizenship. Outrageous!"

He also tries to "smear" Miller by saying Brad has a 0% rating from the Family Research Council and the American Family Association, lolololol. That should gain him some votes in these parts, Vern.
