Georgia GOP, racist much?

allen_racist_500.jpgCandidates and elected officials please take note on why you should not be at the helm of your social networking. I can count maybe one or two campaigns that successfully used Twitter or Facebook but I can count a whole lot more candidates who’s campaigns failed horribly by incorrectly using social media.

Here’s an example of Twitter gone bad:

Aleq Boyle, who filed his paperwork on March 4, 2010 to run for Georgia’s Lt. Governor as a Republican, has a Twitter account. When you google Aleq Boyle, you find such pleasantries that he has tweeted across the internets, like this:

Seriously? Seriously? This guy is running to become a State Constitutional officer. Does he think tweeting this utterly racist statement will make voters believe that he will represent all Georgia citizens? I’m thinking that the 1,685,282 Black registered voters in the State of Georgia, which represents almost 30% of all registered voters, might not think Aleq Boyle will represent them if he is ever elected.

You might think I’m getting my panties in a bunch over one tweet. Nope Aleq Boyle seems to have a history of tweeting racist thoughts. Here’s another precious gem from the Grand Wizard himself.

Aleq, it might be ok not to speak in political correct terms when you are sitting by the campfire warming your sheets by the burning of a few crosses, but you should really get a clue when you a) have an open twitter account and b) want to run for public office.

This might be appropriate twitter chat if Aleq was running for Mayor of lily white Mayberry (although I think Andy Griffith would kick his ass), but he’s not. This dysfunctional wannabe Grand Wizard is trying to run for Statewide office.

Once again, the Georgia Republicans have another poster boy candidate to represent them.

    Jason ain’t posting here. Reading might help you. In life, not just on your campaign.

    Now one serious question, how is “Re-Nig” not at least, inappropriate?

    Thanks for all the hoop-la, I have had many friends and a few foe’s share thoughts on the topic; twitter. As you may or may not know it is customary in some cities to “Black Out” it has at the core the meaning to Cover an area for security which by the way is always high when a President comes to town. Our President, yes he is mine too. This accusation is a first as people like to look for anything because they are loosing on the liberal agenda so the best thing to do is paint it in any kind of negative light. I digress, now for the record I am exploring options on the political front and Jason you did good, you may get some real play with what you now have charged the air and web with. To bad any one who knows me knows far better than the accusation you suggest. But hey you have to have some buzz going. The good news is I now know people read some of my tweets…

    It seems that this guys campaign address is also being used by another campaign. Michael Gaster who is running against Sen. Lester Jackson shares a P.O. Box with this guy. I know Gaster and am surprised at this. Very surprised. Someone has some explaining to do…

    Yeah, I was readily seeing this dynamic play out early in the process last year. And especially right after the election & the inaugural. Mostly commonly from almost any elderly white male you’d encounter in my county.

    And yes, it’s systemic, party wide, and they’re quite open, out & proud about it:

    If it was at all embarrassing to the GOP on any real level? It would be & have been stopped. But it’s the central reality of mainstream hate filled dynamic of the opposition. Not a thoughtful critique on any merits, just racist catcalls & hate mongering derision based on same. Pretty simplistic actually. We know them by their acts. Truly. Thanks for the catch Bernita.
