Democratic Excesses of the American People

Check out this post from Your Right Hand Thief, particularly the quote from John Pappageorge (Michigan chairman of "Veterans for Bush):"

Update: Oyster corrects me in comments--Pappageorge (and, yes, that apparently IS his real name) is officially the Bush-Cheney ’04 Michigan Veterans Leadership Team Co-Chair.

"If we do not suppress the Detroit vote, we're going to have a tough time in this election."

I'll defer to Oyster's comments, but I find it interesting that an official from a veteran's organization would say that, given the standard statements from such organizations to the effect that soldiers fight and die for our freedoms.

Note to Pappageorge: You don't have to wear a sheet or burn crosses to be racist.
