Steve Cohen, Jewish Klansman
August 5th, 2008 . by glendeanRacial politics has stooped to a new low over in Northern Mississippi Memphis. In an era when just about any white politician running against any black politician is at some point likely to be labeled a racist, this ad takes the cake. I mean, are you freaking kidding me? Steve Cohen, liberal Jewish Democrat, is now tied to the Ku Klux Klan. Folks, this nonsense has to stop.
More from:
Tennessee Guerilla Women- “I’ve spent years defending Steve Cohen, years cheering him on. For some reason, I’m having trouble summoning the righteous indignation the ad below would normally provoke. But there is no doubt about it, the ad is pretty damn low.”
Pithing In the Wind- “My favorite: The TV ad, complete with images of the KKK, attacking Congressman Steve Cohen for voting against digging up the body of Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in Memphis’ Forrest Park.”
AC Klanheider also weighs in.
And Cohen rightly won the primary in a landslide. In a CD where the population is majority African-American. In the South.
He’s one of the best reps in Congress. He’s a keeper.
