In the final days of the campaign in Ohio, the stops have been pulled out in the scramble to eke out a win. And that means one super PAC calling on African Americans to vote against President Obama because Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.
From TPM
There's low information voters, and then there's voters who think Abe Lincoln would still be a Republican.
The stench of desperation wafts about the entire GOP. They will lose, they deserve to lose, and they know that they will lose, and they know that they deserve to lose.
My advice to you (pardon me if I'm repeating myself): show no mercy, for none would be shown to you. GOTV. Offer to drive friends to the polls.
And after the polls close on November 6th, raise a glass to all your fellow Democrats, for we are about to kick ass and take names.
The group running the Lincoln ad ran a newspaper ad featuring these claims:
Among the claims made by the ad is that the Obamas throw lavish parties at the White House for “socialist friends” that include flying in $100-per-pound Kobe beef from Japan; the President’s $800 billion stimulus did not produce any net jobs, and that “this deep recession was not caused by the Bush tax cuts, Republican lax regulation, or Wall Street greed.”
I must close with this.
Polls show African American voters have yet to be convinced the GOP is the party for them. The PollTracker Average shows Obama leading Mitt Romney by a margin of 92 to 5.5 among African American voters. African Americans voters are overwhelmingly registered Democratic, a split that’s held for decades.
