Tennessee GOP tries to remove eugenics candidate from ballot

By BETH RUCKER
Associated Press Writer

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Republican Party wants to remove a candidate from its congressional primary because of his support for the racist, phony science of eugenics.

James Hart has filed the necessary documents for his name to appear on the Aug. 3 primary ballot as a Republican candidate for the 8th Congressional District.

1. Republicans embracing phony science?!

:sarcasm:

[KingFlorez]

2. Please, don't

I hope they let him stay on the ballot just so people see how crazy Republicans are. The only reason they want him off because it makes them look bad.

[Mrs. Overall]

3. Prescott Bush was an early supporter of eugenics--

I believe he even supported the forced sterilization of African Americans in North Carolina in the 1940's.

4. An openly racist GOP candidate?

Gosh, i am shocked, SHOCKED and appalled!! </sarcasm>

8. they have to run on their remaining strengths--expect to see a lot of

confederate flags and Willie Hortons too.

5. Amenrica will look like "one big Detroit"

Bwahahahahahahaaaaa!!!

:rofl: :applause:

This guy's voice makes him sound like a cross between Ned Flanders and the Church Lady. Hi-lar-i-ous!!

:popcorn:

6. Wow, the GOP wants to take a sure winner off the ballot?

They don't want to distance themselves from him because of his beliefs, they want to distance themselves from him because his beliefs are public knowledge.

He's a classic "conservative" candidate, who would surely wrap up the insane vote.

7. Old Time Religion! Eugenics the way it was practiced

in 1890-1932 (when FDR was elected) is alive and well in the right wing religions and the bush family cabal. Edwin Black's book "War Against the Weak" is a irrefutably documented use of these ideas in many of the red states (and also blue states) then and the direct connection it has with Hitler's death camps. The people of America should take these guys seriously. They are not fringe - they are just more honest about what the GOP stands for than most GOP politicians.

9. See, they are trying to get rid of him because...

he's letting the cat out of the bag regarding the GOP's 08 platform.

[guruoo]

13. Yes, he's spoiling the big 'surprise'!

Merging of the 'christian' Right and the DHS:

10. Even worse is the number that voted for the guy

Hart received about 60,000 votes in the 2004 election, and that shows voters want him as a Republican candidate.

11. Don't say that there wasn't plenty of attention and concerns voiced

about this and other things noted by those that know history and understand what fascism entails.

It isn't just the South, and it isn't limited to political affiliation imo.

Wisconsin figures into this intentionally and internationally.

Philanthropists supported the ideology using cover and deception.

So does Tommy Thompson and his eugenicist friends like Charles Murray. FWIW, Wisconsin was the home of 38 WWII POW camps. Madison is a world center of genetic "research".

12. Hart's also a spectacular champion of "gun rights"

who trudges from door to door on the campaign trail toting his gun.

14. "Icksnay on the biggotry k?

Save the "intellectual pluralism" for GOP fundraisers. We only speak like that in secret clubs. In public we use words like big tent and freedom instead."
