Just as the Republican Party is trying to expand its base, so is the ultra-racist Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), and they're both going about in the same way -- by appealing to bigotry, hate and racism.
Via Americablog:
The Council of Conservative Citizens, a southern group that has been wooed by former GOP Senate leader Trent Lott and current GOP presidential hopeful Haley Barbour, has a doctored photo on its Web site of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in KKK garb. The CCC also calls Sotomayor "whitey hating."
It's barely been twenty-four hours since it was reported that Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich would be calling the shots for the Republican Party's attacks against Sotomayor -- I'm surprised it took them this long.
