SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Joseph Perkins -- Campaigning on 'the big lie': "Meanwhile, the 527 group America Coming Together is circulating handbills on Kerry's behalf suggesting that Republicans are planning to attack black voters to keep them from the polls.
The flyer reproduces a Civil Rights era photograph of a black man pinned against the wall of a building by water shooting out of a fire hose. 'This is what they used to do to keep us from voting,' it reads.
And 'This is how Republicans keep African-Americans from voting now,' it adds, listing several recent incidents in which blacks supposedly were discouraged from casting ballots.
'They make African-American voters stand in line for hours, and they turn them away from the polls,' the flyer claims. 'Now (U.S. Attorney General) John Ashcroft is trying to prevent African-Americans from voting at all.'
The America Coming Together handbill is racial demagoguery at its ugliest. It is a big lie meant to keep black voters on the Democratic plantation. "
