Yes, Because That’s the Kind of People We Are
Lubbock, Texas, ain’t the end of the world, but you can see it from there.
And the Democrats in Lubbock are the same bleeding hearts and nice folks you find in Democrats all over Texas, so it seems a bid odd that overnight they would turn into women who carve a B on their face for Barack and blame black men or put up a lynching chair in their front yard. Or even, like in my neighborhood, puts this sign in their yard.
But, they must have because the Republican Party chairman says so.
Apparently, we have taken to vandalizing our own signs.
A Lubbock homeowner says Democratic Party signs in her yard were shot at, covered in brown paint, and had racial slurs written on them over the weekend. The Lubbock Democratic Party says other campaign signs showing support for President Obama were also stolen.
Kenny Ketner, the Democratic Party chair, says the latest acts of vandalism have gone too far, and he called the acts “racist garbage.”
However, the Lubbock Republican Party says the circumstances are suspicious.
Carl Tepper, Republican Party chair, said, “I have a weird suspicion that the Democrats might have damaged their own signs. It’s an outlandish story.”
Yeah, because Texas Republicans aren’t doing enough on their own to look like hate filled racist.
Thanks to Teresa for the heads up.
I called Carl Tepper yesterday to ask him to reign in his folks, he answered his phone, then when I suggested that perhaps some of the people should chillax, he started ranting, raving, threatening and told me he was recording the conversation. I told him he did not have permission, so he started cussing. I hung up – he called back 3 times – on the third call I told him I was calling the police. He is not just a friendly fellow~
1In other words, a normal TEA Party Republican.
2There are couple of decent folks in Lubbock.
I know both of them.
3Here’s a tip. You can usually tell from the spelling and punctuation whether slurs were written by Democrats or not. If it’s spelled “moran” it’s a Republican.
4History lesson:
5My Mom and Pop were the only Democrats in Moran, Texas until Pop passed and Mom moved to Hunt.
Now she’s one of two Democrats in Hunt, Texas.
