I guess with all the rhetoric out there since Obama got elected, frankly even during the campaign, this should be judged as par for the course, huh? Of course I grew up in Harris county and was oblivious to these type of events as youth. Of course that doesn't belittle the fact that these events are shameful and embarrassing. Am I surprised? No.
At least the DOJ is getting involved.

At least Sharon Angle came out against this ad
Peace out and remember to go out and vote.
