Vernon Robinson - a Nightmare for American Liberals
See this guy. He is fast becoming public enemy number one for the pseudo communist American Left. He stands for family values, colorblind laws, a tough border and security policy and is a straight shooter who is everything the left fears... An articulate African American USAF vet who's a social and fiscal conservative. He's the son of a nurse and a Tuskegee Airman, an Eagle Scout who graduated from the Air Force Academy with a degree in Middle Eastern Affairs and then went on to get his MBA. Married to the same woman for 23 years with three children (2 adopted after their mother died of cancer). How the left must absolutely hate (spelled F-E-A-R) this guy. The people for the American Way are desperately trying to paint this guy as a bigoted hate monger but if you read through their articles about him, most of the quotes they use to support their condemnation are not verifiable. In one case, they refer to a news article in which his opponent is quoting an unnamed ambiguous source. Basically, to substantiate their claims they link to a report where his opponent says 'they said this about him'... Uh-huh (eyes rolling) just where are those accuracy in media folks when you need them?
Check out Robinson's tv spot here. And see the comparison to his opponent here. Whether or not you agree with him, this guy is tapping into the frustrations of Americans who are seeing the constant erosion of traditional values. Check out his radio ads here.
My only advice for Vernon is that he should have closed with the Andy Griffith theme instead of Leave it to Beaver- I mean, it is North Carolina, after all... ;-)
