DANG RACISTS AT IT AGAIN!!!!

McAuliffe in New Race Flap
Monday, June 23, 2003

Terry McAuliffe, who praised "colored people" three years ago after elbowing aside a qualified African-American rival for the post of Democratic National Committee chairman, is facing new charges that he discriminates against blacks.

Responding to questions from the Congressional Black Caucus last week, <font color=red>McAuliffe revealed that he has only one black political consultant on the payroll for 2004 and employed no black consultants for the 2002 campaign,</font> reports The Hill newspaper.

"I told him that was insulting,” said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss. "That did not go over well with our caucus."

Thompson told The Hill about a black political consultant he knew who had tried repeatedly without success to get a contract with McAuliffe's DNC.

He took his business proposal to the Republicans and they promptly signed him, the Mississippi Democrat said, adding, "The party can start acknowledging through contracts with minorities the good minorities do for the party.”

Only last month, Donna Brazile, the party's most senior African-American strategist, complained that McAuliffe's belt-tightening measures had targeted 10 employees for layoffs - all of whom were black. (See "Donna Brazile 'Outraged' as Democrats Fire Blacks".)

McAuliffe contended that he didn't know about the blacks-only dismissals and canceled the move.

Bush will be lucky to get 35% in California in 2004. He helped rip this state off of 20 billion bucks, did nothing to help us in our time of need afterward and has supported massive timber clearing and offshore drilling, both very unpopular things in this state. Kerry wont even need to campaign here. California is a lock.
