pete i couldn’t read all that, but let me say that the willie horton ads were rough, but fair and accurate. because it worked, doesn’t mean it was racist.

Neither could I
Willie Horton is a great example of fear politics
Bad things happen in a free country that’s one of the chances we take
We have the highest % of people in prison in the world, claim to be the bastion of freedom and have the highest recidivism.
Give me a rational explanation for that.
As an aside, Immigrants are a insignificant point in that equation.

bad things happen. but if a bad thing happens because
an idiotliberal politician decides to give weekend passes to sociopaths who hurt people, than thatnliberal politician should have to
answer for that. you disagree? it’s wrong to hold people, at least liberals, accountable?

Perhaps all people who might possibly commit a crime should be imprisoned, then you could feel safe.
Unless you were one of the people so judged

willie horton wasn’t in prison for something he
might do. your hypothetical is way off. as usual, you dodged
my question. if a liberal politician advocates for policies which hurt innocent people, why is it racist fear mongering to hold him accountable?
so when the gop points out what willie horton actually did, that’s playing to racial fears. but when the democrats tried to tell us that clarence thomas can’t be trusted around women, with all
kinds of
evidence that he didn’t do anything wrong, that’s ok.
makes all kinds of sense pete. you’re blind. i could say 2+2=4, you’d immediately say i’m wrong.

Willie Horton is the textbook example of a dog whistle ad

do you ever answer challenging questions? what does it say about your beliefs, that you constantly dodge?
