I See Black People
The GOP Party Chairman in Maine is concerned about rural black people, who like zombies come “mysteriously” to vote in urban areas and then multiply magically after the election.
Cool trick, huh?
Charlie Webster: Black Person Expert
Charlie Webster, the outgoing Maine Republican chairman, claimed Wednesday in an interview that “hundreds” of black voters cast ballots in rural Maine towns, contributing to the party’s losses.
“In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day,” he said in an interview with WSCH TV. “Everybody has the right to vote, but nobody in town knows anybody that’s black — how did that happen? I don’t know. We’re going to find out.”
Everybody knows that black people only live in the projects in urban areas. There’s some sort of prohibition against them living in rural areas, you know, unless they have 40 acres and a mule. I suspect these so-called voters did not arrive on a mule.
Plus, they creepily multiplied from dozens to hundreds …
Webster stood by the claim in an interview with the Portland Press Herald. “I’m not talking about 15 or 20. I’m talking hundreds,” he said. “I’m not politically correct and maybe I shouldn’t have said these voters were black, but anyone who suggests I have a bias toward any race or group, frankly, that’s sleazy.”
And nobody would know sleazy better than Charlie Webster.
I think Maine should keep a list somewhere of all the people of color in the state along with the name of a white person who can vouch for them and their whereabouts at all times.
That would keep Mr. Webster happy.
By the way, Thelma says that if Republicans keep poking us with a stick, we’re going to put Aretha Franklin on Mount Rushmore. Just because we can.
They just don’t come dumber than Charlie–today. Well, okay they do; but most of them are republicans these days. And because I’m so damned tired of them the dumb and crazy seems to be merging into one faction of sheer lunacy.
If Charlie isn’t careful I shall move my rather large rainbow hued family to his neighborhood and really freak his “black people illegally voting” paranoia out.
1Did they also mysteriously get their names on the official voting rolls…..?????
Just sayin’
2He never noticed them before – he doesn’t know any? A case of severe colorblindness. Besides, they all look alike, you know.
3Where Are they coming from?
4Is there an idiot factory behind one of those fences in Roswell?
I think it’s time to start dropping all these loons down a missile silo somewhere and clamping that lid on real tight.
As my mama would have said, that man doesn’t have nearly enough to do. Goodness !
5Ahh, but you know there were hundreds of little green people lined up to vote here in Texas. A friend of mine heard two ladies talking about it, riding the bus, on their way to get their hair re-blued, so it has to be true. Election workers were afraid to even think about challenging the aliens because they were intimidated by United Nation’s thought police sent to Texas by the White House and the Kenyan Committee to Re-elect the Presidant and Make Everybody Become Gay. My friend has proof it’s all true; she has a snuff tin one of the ladies left on the bus.
6Went to a convention in Eastboro, ME. in ’94. There were at least 25 Black people at a meeting I attended. Got a ticket for driving with headlights on in a “Moose Crossing” zone! (Moose don’t like headlights! They attack!) Officer was Black! Guess he was there early to vote fraudulently in the ’12 elections!
7So, how do you just show up and vote? Don’t you have to be registered? This comes from the same storybook as the yet to be found Welfare Queen that the first RR (Ronald Reagan) reported. So True the Vote didn’t have poll watchers in Maine because who would have thought that black people would “just show up”??
8Yooooo-hooooooo, Mainiacs. I hear that dog whistle. And so do all the black people in Maine.
9That man doesn’t get out much.
10According to the census, there are about 17,000 black people in Maine, 1.3% of the population. President Obama won the state 56% to 41%.
Go figger.
11“after 45 years of the Southern strategy, this stuff is what defines the party’s soul.”

I hope he gets up during the night and checks to see that no one has moved into his basement or closets.
13I guess Charlie ALWAYS says stuff like that. He hates college students and Canadians, too.

Ralph Wiggam (comment #11) you nail it! Fight b.s. with statistics! the ones you post pretty much sum it up.
15I agree he needs a list. It needs a list of friends and they should agree for one of them to be with him at all times. I don’t think he should be left alone. Too dumb to breathe on his own.
16I love me some Juanita in the morning..Aretha on Mt Rushmore..what a brilliant idea girl!!
17The nerve of all of ’em. And may I remind y’all to google ILLEGAL TO CARRY ELECTRONIC DEVICES INTO VOTING BOOTHS and see which states have that law? Not many. Guess where I live. Yep.
You know y’all could sign up on NANOWRIMO and be writing the Great American Novel. I know November is kind of ticking away but hey, it’s fun to count how many words you write in a day….
18A Friend told me about your take on the story so I am sharing what I posted on Facebook.
Black voters found in Maine: Normally this would go to the “Don’t be such a Richard” file, but this is a bit funny. The GOP (Republican) Chair for the state of Maine stated that “Black people, hundreds of them, came to rural Maine and voted. It was “These black voters” that are responsible for GOP loses during the election. I have a few questions:
191. Is the state of Maine that white that it is a shock to people when a black person appears?
2. How does he know that these are out-of-state voters and not just slaves left over from the Underground Railroad who got lost? I understand they still have notes written by Harriet Tubman.
3. I know that Republicans have been weary of black voter turnout, but isn’t this a bit paranoid and racist?
4. Finally, if hundreds of black voters came to rural Maine to vote, would that not be all the black people that live in that state?
Solution: Amazon has on has a black people recognition software program that allows republicans to scan black people to ensure they are legal residents of the state and registered to vote. Unfortunately the software only works once every 2 years and if the black person has any white ancestry, the program will not work. So it will only works with 100% pure black people, during an election, attempting to vote in a state where they do not live. This program costs $99,000 or the current market value of 30 acres and a mule.
WHAT?!? There are black people in Maine? Whoever heard of such a thing! Oh, wait, there are some in Washington State, too, and they voted. What IS this world coming to? Surely Maine didn’t let any wimmen vote, did they? Good Lord, if they did, surely none of them damn wimmen were black (were they?). Yeah, I guess the whole election was a sham. But we’ll just have to make the best of it. (Sorry, I’m STILL gloating, but trying to tone it down.)
20I swear that the Mainer and the Aladamnbamian have both snapped their shower caps! Daughter lives in Alabama and not because she always wanted to. Got transferred jobwise. She can’t wait to get out. Can’t blame her. But the guy up in Maine is confusing. I’ve known many a Down Easter and none of them resemble or disassemble this guy. Nobody in town knew any African Americans in the area? Well, I know that Down Easters are champions at minding their own business, but really, it sounds like rural Maine is busy at self-segregating. Especially by the Repubs. What a surprise!
21We are so overrun by black people here. Must be 4 or so in this rural little city. The teabaggin’ gov. got into office with 30 something % of the vote, so we will have to put up with these fools another year or two.
22Wait till 2016 when we get out the zombie vote! GOTZ coming to a state near you.
Love and, seriously, I think I need a drink.
