I saw him say that on the videos somebody posted here. It was pretty clear that the guy was not actually announcing himself as a racist, but simply trying to apply the false posing of certain sentiments as racist. It was a very offhanded thing to say and it is conceivable by his language that he is a racist. But it certainly wasn't anything like the announcement that people suggest it was. He was not actually saying he was a racist.

Watched us on channel 2 News. Not pretty. Of course they want to stir the pot and say we are the racist ones.

He's got quite an uphill battle on his hands now, and it may end up detracting from the original point of the event.

That's what the tactic is all about.

Make a lot of noise about a statement taken out of context, loudly make accusations of racism.

Focus as much attention to the statement as possible, diverting attention from the real issue, illegal immigration, as well as demonize the politician so severely that his reputation is permanently stained and no one will touch him with a 50 foot pole. He'll be a political wet dog.

The man's political career will be tried, convicted, and executed in a media Kangaroo Court as an example to other elected officials.

That's why it is so important to be careful as to the words which are spoken. Not only does it sidetrack attention away from illegal immigration, but if one is vulnerable, they will be on that person like a pack of hyenas on a zebra carcass.
