Is it something in the water in Buffalo? Last year crazy, bestiality porn loving deadbeat Carl Paladino suggested that we ship inner city welfare recipients to abandoned military bases and "teach them hygiene." Today we learn that Republican-turned Democrat-turned Republican, three time loser and fellow wealthy self funding nutjob Jack Davis has some ideas about what to do with their kids, ideas rooted firmly in the 18th century.
Davis suggests we deport Latino farmworkers and ship inner city African American youth out to farm country to pick crops. No, really. He said that.
Congressional candidate Jack Davis shocked local Republican leaders in a recent interview when he suggested that Latino farmworkers be deported -- and that African-Americans from the inner city be bused to farm country to pick the crops.
Several sources who were in the Feb. 20 endorsement interview with Davis confirmed his comments, which echo those he made to the Tonawanda News in 2008, when he said: "We have a huge unemployment problem with black youth in our cities. Put them on buses, take them out there [to the farms] and pay them a decent wage; they will work."
When Davis repeated those sentiments in the recent interview, the Republican leaders -- who later delivered the party endorsement for the vacant seat in the 26th Congressional District to Assemblywoman Jane L. Corwin of Clarence -- said they couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"I was thunderstruck," said Amherst GOP Chairman Marshall Wood. "Maybe in 1860 that might have been seen by some as an appropriate comment, but not now."
....
During the Feb. 20 endorsement interview with the district's Republican leaders, Davis "repeatedly almost disqualified himself" by contradicting typical party positions, said Gordon Brown, the Wyoming County GOP chairman.
Almost disqualified himself? What exactly would he need to do earn that disqualification? Maybe he could have delivered his remarks in blackface? Or maybe he could have punctuated his statement by literally cracking a rawhide whip?
When Davis made his comment, "the room sort of went silent," Brown said. "It was like: Did I just hear that?"
Yes, yes you did just hear that. And, let's face it. It takes some powerful crazy to stun a crowd of Republicans and Teahadists in Paladino-stan. |
