Bringing home the crazy like every other day.

http://www.pressherald.com/politics/Maine-Republican-chairman-questions-black-voters-.html

Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster is once again alleging possible voting irregularities, this time claiming that groups of unknown black people showed up in some rural towns to vote on Election Day.

Webster made the claim in a wide-ranging, post-election interview this week with Don Carrigan of WCSH-TV.

"In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day," he said. "Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in (these) towns knows anyone who's black. How did that happen? I don't know. We're going to find out."

When Carrigan pressed Webster on where it happened, Webster provided no specifics or proof of his claims, but said the party would investigate further.

When asked about the issue in an interview Wednesday with the Portland Press Herald, Webster again refused to provide specifics.

He said his point is not that the new voters were black, but that they were not recognized by town officials.

This makes the claim that Obama stole Wisconsin by the same tactic seem sane in comparison.

My god, it is amazing.  They are amazing.  If they would keep this up till 2016 the Democrats wouldn't have to bother to even campaign.  These dopes write their own opponent's campaign ad.

Idiocy is really amazing sometimes. But - it's bad, when idiot holds high-ranking position in one of 2 biggest parties... May be - that repeated symptom (remember Akin's, Mourdock's and some other dumb statements during this campaign) are signs of serious malaise?Huh

Isn't the Maine Republican Party one of the ones taken over by a Tea Party group or whatnot?

When was the last time they actually came up with an idea that did not involve tax cuts as the end-all-be-all or a "stir 'em up" line that involved mindless fear tactics like this? Been a while, years.

Well, thank God the man isn't a racist.

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/11/charlie_webster_black_voter_fraud.php

Webster said he wasn’t racist and that he had several black friends.

“There’s nothing about me that would be discriminatory. I know black people. I play basketball every Sunday with a black guy. He’s a great friend of mine. Nobody would ever accuse me of suggesting anything,” he said.

Maybe, just maybe one might be able to argue Maine-2 was stolen (not that it was but I could see a not entirely implausible argument it had been), but this argument not only doesn't make it to first base, it doesn't even enter the parking lot of the ballpark!
