Raw Story: A Republican county official in Illinois called a black woman candidate for the House of Representatives a “love child” of the Democratic Party and accused her of being a “street-walker” whose “pimps” are party leaders. According to the St. Louis Dispatch, Montgomery County GOP Chairman Jim Allen made the statements in an email in which he went on to say that after the election, candidate Erika Harold will end up “working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires.”
Allen was writing to a Republican website about Harold, who is a former Miss America and Harvard-educated attorney. She is running for the Republican nomination for Illinois Congressional District 13, which encompasses Champaign, Illinois and eastern Chicago. Allen supports her opponent, incumbent Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville).
You got that? Harvard Law educated attorney gets called a stupid whore by a redneck Republican just because she's black. But to be honest, our first reaction was not that this was a racist screed, we've come to expect that from the party of the southern strategy, but more, where was he educated? She graduated from Harvard Law. Where did Dick Trickle Jim Allen go to school? Jefferson Davis U? Liberty University? Pray tell...
