Check out this political ad for Vernon Robinson, who is running for Congress in North Carolina. He uses the theme of “The Twilight Zone”, and that’s certainly where I thought I was as I watched him run through the list of conservative culture war scare tactics. The “Leave It To Beaver” shot at the end just takes the cake. Vernon can’t wait to take us back to the 1950′s, which is pretty funny given that he’s black and would have had zero chance of election in NC, or most of the rest of the country, back then.
H/T Crooks & Liars.
Robinson is a guy who embraces the notion that he’s “the black Jesse Helms” — see this Washington Times story. The Freepers love him.
Funny that Jesse is working on someone else’s campaign. Vernon must not live up to his standards.
That is one great ad.
Excuse me while I pick up my lower jaw.
Hey, isn’t the Twilight Zone stuff copyright-protected? Or does this somehow count as a legal parody?
It was sure dark in that room where he was watchin’ the teevee. Maybe they thought if they kept the lighting low enough, prospective Repub voters wouldn’t realize he was black…
Believe it or not, this Vernon Robinson character , of “Twilight Zone” ad fame, is real. He has entered the 13th district race for Congress in North Carolina after entering in the 12th and deciding it was too tough. No, he doesn’t live there, he lives in the 5th, but he thinks he’s our best representative.
Rest assured that Vernon Robinson does have competition, although his antics have attracted media attention and caused Charlie Sutherland and myself to fall by the wayside in news coverage.
Although I do not claim to be a liberal, some in the Republican party have accused me of not being conservative enough. Maybe its my respect for the Constitution that Robinson supporters don’t like. The more fascist elements want me to promise to amend the Constitution to eliminate every little thing that offends them. (I refuse) I guess they are just to lazy to work on finding real solutions.
What really frightens me is the fact that the winner in the 13th district race for the may be Robinson. Mr. Miller , the Democrat incumbent, has screwed up enough by failing to support private property rights, the Second Amendment right to protect yourself, and voted against legislation that would stop the overweight crowd from suing McDonalds after too many super sized fries caused them to have to buy two seats on an airplane. If I can’t stop Robinson in his tracks, we are in for dark times ahead. The party will throw everything into the contest against Miller. His days are numbered. The choice will be Hendrix or Robinson. This choice must be made now, not in November.
Robinson’s tactics, taken straight from Adolf Hitler’s campaign manual, sets one group against another, uses empty headed ones for base support, and uses the more capable ones (with brains) who want to ride on his back to power and riches. The media likes him because he has the capability to turn the Republican party into a joke. But the joke has a possibility of becoming a horror and reality.
In the interest of our Nation, we all need to do everything we can to expose Mr. Robinson’s “character” and see to it that he doesn’t get past this primary. All the information you need in on my web page:

This is not only a run for office for me, it is a war in which reason, sanity, and our very freedom are at stake. I welcome any and all questions and comments.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
