woiyo, the cat dont even deny the charges. He says it was a slip. By appointing this known racist Ravenel to a leadership position in his lily white campaign Rudy is playing a race card. It's a strong statement not ignored by his core constituancy. Kind of crystal clear code. Appointment of Racially Divisive Figure Raises Questions about His Mayoral Record on Race Relations
July 6, 2007 -- Rudy Giuliani will face tough questions today about whether or not he condones the racist comments of Arthur Ravenel, Jr., the new co-chair of his campaign in South Carolina. When he campaigns in the Palmetto State today, Giuliani should condemn Ravenel's long history of racially divisive statements, including his reference to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as the "National Association for Retarded People" at a flag rally in 2000. When asked about the comment at the time, Ravenel said, "I made a rhetorical slip, and they want to lynch me for it." [Austin-American Statesman, 1/9/00, The Post and Courier, 10/18/06]
