Just one day after Chris Shays did his best Lee Whitnum impression by stalking Jim Himes at his press conference, his supporters are already busy setting a new low for classlessness. And it's still just August.
Republican State Central Committee member Doug Hageman from the 16th Senate District, who posts as "Authentic Connecticut Republican" on his blog and at Connecticut Local Politics (see his own confirmation of his identity here) just put up an astoundingly racist post this morning featuring a photo from yesterday's press conference where he calls Jim Himes a "bigamist". Here's his front page right now:
Hageman spews:
The children are clearly thrilled to have daddy stop by their neighborhood - maybe he should visit them more often.
Seems a shame he lets his own kids live in such a run down part of the city.
Between yesterday's unhinged tantrum by Shays and today's even more unhinged racist attack by a Republican State Central committee member, the traditional media in Connecticut needs to come to terms with the fact that this is the type of disgusting campaign the Republican Party and Chris Shays plan to run this year, from the top of the ticket on down.
