It’s Come To This: Pro-Hagan Flier Features Lynch Mob In The Background

In one of the closest–and possibly the most expensive-races this year, the North Carolina Senate race just got a little nasty with a political flier that warned if Sen. Kay Hagan is not re-elected come November, Barack Obama will be impeached. To convey this message, the text is superimposed over a graphic image of a lynch mob (via The Fayetteville Observer):

Dawn McNair said she was surprised Sunday when her daughter pointed out the background on a political flier urging people to get out and vote.

The front of the flier blares: "Kay Hagan doesn't win! Obama's impeachment will begin! Vote in 2014."

The words are superimposed over a grainy reproduction of a photograph of what appears to be a lynching.

Someone tucked the flier under McNair's windshield wiper while her car was parked at her church, Kingdom Impact Global Ministries on Murchison Road.

"My daughter said, 'Mom, look in the background. They're lynching somebody.' It's the lynching of an African-American man," McNair said.

At the bottom, the flier reads, "Not endorsed by any candidate. Paid for by Concerned Citizens of Cumberland County." No contact information for the group was on the flier.

Over at Hot Air, Noah Rothman added:

Fortunately, according to a local NAACP representative, likening the unlikely impeachment of the president to a time when African-Americans were systematically murdered by white mobs is not racist. “That’s what the community feels,” said Fayetteville NAACP branch president Jimmy Buxton.

This is the kind of cheap desperation that would set every MSNBC anchor’s hair on fire and dominate the nightly newscasts if it were embraced by a Republican candidate’s allies. At the very least, if Hagan were a Republican, the media would press her to denounce her supporter’s tactics until she buckled. But beyond being baseless provocation, both this message and Davis’s attempt to get you to believe Abbott will somehow overturn Loving v. Virginia are just insultingly dumb.

I couldn’t agree more, sir.
