Sounds about as true as “Iraq has WMDs” does at this point.

“They called one of our board members an ‘uppity negro’…”

No they didn’t, because they don’t exist and you didn’t have these interactions and this is all just delusion fuel from the radicalized right wing fever swamp. Just smoke your meth and STFU.

“A recent first hand report…”

Nope.

And, of course:

“There are plenty of…conservative groups out there…They have higher priorities than reaching black voters.”

Truer words have never been spoken by a conservative panhandler.

Conservatives are routinely angry about stuff that happened a long time ago. They are mad about hippies, about that piece of art with the crucifix in urine: They are always forever refighting the battles of twenty years ago. It’s a side effect of the policy of going after that rage prone geezer–they have to keep probing old woulds
