Haley's Plan - Haley Barbour, Republican Candidate for Governor in Mississippi

Haley Barbour has a plan for Mississippi. It includes supporting organizations like the CCC (Council of Conservative Citizens). This internationally known organization is an offshoot of the old White Citizens Council which fought integration in the civil rights era. A few years ago, Trent Lott tried to distance himself from the group when his ties became public.

HALEY'S PLAN IS DIFFERENT!

Why on earth would he need the distance? its 2003, and Haley Barbour feels that its safe to coddle such bigots, right? what it is wrong with this picture? The problem is Haley. He has a plan. It's to come back to Mississippi (after being away for DECADES) and try to get votes the old fashion way--by stirring up the bigots and hoping they vote. its HALEY'S PLAN.

The Clarion Ledger asked him about this photo and his ties to the CCC, to which he claimed to be unfamiliar with the CCC. the problem is, there was no follow-up with this. the paper just let it go and no one picked it up.

HE IS LYING. He was at their annual BBQ/Political Rally when the photo was taken showing him standing with the CCC leadership. ANYONE involved in GOP politics in this state knows about the CCC and knows about Blackhawk. Trent Lott had a minor scandal because of his ties to the CCC back when Haley was RNC chair. He doesn't KNOW? well, we know.

HALEY'S PLAN: Exploit the bigot vote.

It is clear Mississippi cannot afford this kind of trash.

Haley, i think we can do better.
