Most campaign websites are bland. But not all of them.
Indeed, there are bland websites and then there is the James Hart for Congress campaign website. Mr. Hart is the Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in the 8th District of Tennessee.
Mr. Hart's primary campaign plank is eugenics. He is running on a
campaign pledge to eliminate the "poverty gene" by using eugenics to
encourage the preservation of "more favored races."
At first I thought his website was just another well done satire. It's that astonishing.
However, a quick web search found evidence that he is truly the
Republican candidate on the ballot in that district. It's not
a satire. It's real.
Bizarre. Absolutely freaking bizarre.

Unbelievable! Sometimes I forget that there really are people that nutty in the world! Thanks for reminding me :)
As a affirmed Democrat I would just love to feel free to hold this crackpot up to the world and say -- "See! This is what being a Republican leads to". Of course, this idiot is no more representative of that party than Trent Lott is representative of the Democrats. Oh, wait. Trent Lott is a Republican. Well, no good example immediately pops into my head. I'm sure that the leaders of the Republican Party would love to find a way to disavow this jerk (you know, kind of like they are trying to disavow Lott; now, if we can just get them to disavow Bush...)
Sorry! I hadn't checked out the Satire before my earlier comment. That was funny! Thanks for posting that!
I did a quick search and found websites from Republican groups disavowing Mr. Hart. In the district in question, they've initiated a write-on campaign for a different Republican.
E informs me that when you post a link THIS bizarre you have to explain where you found it, or, more to the point, HOW you found it?
What are you doing in your spare time, my dear?

Oh, looking for right wing nutcases, of course. :)
