Keep it up assholes. After the 2016 election you will be fucked.

Millar’s congregation, First Shiite Baptist, responds in song.

Taking a page from the Ham’s playbook!

Not all Republicans are racists, but all racists are Republican.

“Excessive Black Voting”

That means ‘more than fingers and toes.’

deckbose · September 9, 2014, 5:38pm

Making it easier for people to vote is supposed to be a good thing. Why should it matter which day people vote? But apparently for this Georgia Republican, letting blacks vote is now considered an “election law loophole.”

One would think that Millar would be pleased. Isn’t this what the Hobby Lobby decision was about - people of faith making their religious freedom paramount.

Rep. Miller: Here’s your hood. Wear it in good health. Just remember the little holes go in the front.

Everyone knows that the Bible was written for white Christian Americans so how can “those people” have the right to vote?

eastlansing · September 9, 2014, 5:40pm

Oops. Right playbook, wrong script. What he meant to say was, “It’s all about securing the ballot,” etc., etc.

wargreymon2013 · September 9, 2014, 5:40pm

But but but racism is over, because we got a black President and Chief Justice Roberts SAID so, so THERE!!! /s

The fear is strong in this one. And the demographics edge ever closer in GA.

danablankenhorn · September 9, 2014, 5:42pm

Someone check the distance between the nearest early voting station and the new First Baptist Church of Atlanta building on I-285.

easydm · September 9, 2014, 5:43pm

Pasty old white guy says what?

bigdaddydrj · September 9, 2014, 5:44pm

So black folks want to vote and you don’t like that? Well tuff shit asshole!

austin_dave · September 9, 2014, 5:46pm

The best part of this is that when this happens in one place, word travels FAST, and outrage happens all over the country.

This is a BIG deal among the people it affects.

yellowdawgdem · September 9, 2014, 5:47pm

how dare they try to increase participation in democracy.

Rob_Monroe · September 9, 2014, 5:50pm

Yup, they don’t even know anymore when they are being blatantly racist.

Oops, sorry, I forgot, racism was apparently over until the Dems brought it back. I must have read the footnote on his email incorrectly.

I appreciate the Senator’s candor. He finally said what so many GOPers are afraid/too smart to say. They see a connection between race and politics. They also believe it’s easier to suppress the vote, than change the minds of voters. Keep running your mouth Frank.
