Kemp Blasts 'Outside Agitators' After Scrutiny Of Policy Blocking 53K From Voting Back to article

[Kevin_S]

Phrases like “agitators” should give every American pause. That’s the sort of language that dictatorships use.

[asturcot]

Didn’t blast the outside money rolling in on his behalf…

[thisisourcountry]

Shut the fuck up Bull Connor.

“Outside” is important too. Not one of us. Yankees. Liberals.
Sounds like Southern governors in the 1960s complaining about voting rights. I guess little has changed.

[birdford]

Wow - I survived all of this time to hear this Nixonian J. Edgar bullshit in 2018.

[boscobrown]

What a dork and on top of it, he’s proud owner of being endowed with a small weeny! Doesn’t actually say that but with the big truck and his affection for guns he’s for sure got a real small weeny!

Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp suggests truck is for rounding up...

[donnyyoung]

Exactly what I first thought. Next thing you know, he’ll be calling us running dogs.

[murgatroid]

The segregationists used that kind of language, e.g. “outside agitators” and “Communists” during the Civil Rights movement. I guess these incendiary terms recycle well against 21st century challengers to the white order…

‘Outside Agitators’

He is apparently recasting himself as Lester Maddox.

“I got a big truck, just in case I need to round up criminal illegals and take 'em home myself,” Georgia gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp

He. would. wet. his. pants.

“Outside Agitators” is that not the Republican’s best friend the Russians? Are the Russians pointing out Kemp’s history of racist voter suppression? When did they switch sides?

That’s running capitalist dogs, Komrade.

I thought that ad was an outtake from an old episode of Hee Haw.
I say that as a fan of the show in my youth.

Absolutely correct, except that there is no guessing about it. Nothing about the conservative Southern Pols has changed since the end of the Civil War except they are all now in a panic that their death grip on white superiority is finally failing. Kemp most assuredly does not belong in a state house, he belongs in state prison.

As much as the Republicans seem loath to admit it, the Russians are not their friends. They’re happy to play both sides against each other. Their only objective is to sow chaos among their foes.

[mrf]

Outside agitators? What’s next? Will he pull out Lester Maddox’s old pic axe handle?

[dommyluc]

“outside agitators”

Yeah, it was probably those same 3,000,000 Venezuelans who were bussed in to vote for Hillary in 2016.

[gusfabriani]

Kemp would have used “Macaca” but it was copyrighted by George Allen.

[tena]

Word. Almost 50 years right on the mark.
