Black outrage in Ferguson brought national media attention; otherwise, most of us would know nothing of Ferguson.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

National media attention on Ferguson was about making something out of nothing and causing an imaginary crisis to galvanize liberal base that always cries about being victimized.

So, are you saying that exposing the historical racism in Ferguson "was about making something out of nothing"?

 

[AmericanFirst]

Why not? Makes sense to me. Blacks in Ferguson should finally feel motivated to vote.

They feel motivated to commit crimes so why not vote for criminals, aka dimwits.

 

[rightwinger]

Why would ANYONE object to voters being registered?

No, he is saying that outside agitators and thugs used fergesun to further their agenda. Next the people doing the registering will hit the local cemeteries for more dimwit voters.

Depends on if they are legal and alive. Pretty low for dimwits to use a tragedy to further their chances, but then dimwits are lowlife scumbags.

How do you know what "he" was saying? You just spew bullshit with no facts. Give us some "credible" facts to support your claims.

I don't need facts to see the obvious. Dimwits shouldn't be registering voters at a time like this in fergusen, period. But they are lowlifes.

Ferguson, Missouri, is a majority-black city governed mostly by whites. The mayor is white. The police chief is white. The police force is 94 percent white. Only one of its six city council members is black. These facts, as much as anything, have shaped the protests over the police shooting of Michael Brown. Ferguson, with a 67 percent black population, is a place where the largest community has little political voice.

Ferguson Missouri government Why is it so white

Michael Brown has forever changed the politics of Ferguson, Missouri. I applaud blacks for trying to register more black voters. All Americans should applaud them.

Yup, they'll be another Detroit overnight.

Translation: Blacks can't govern themselves; only whitey knows what's best for them.

You said it, I didn't.

Yes, you did say it. I just clarified your meaning.

No, you said it.

Let's get serious. Democrats only do this because they figure blacks are stupid. They also use these tactics because they only work on people that hate because of stereotypes. False stereotypes.

If it didn't always work they wouldn't do it. But they know their base better than anyone. They know all they have to do is make up an issue and they can play you hatefilled pinheads like a fiddle.

As Predicted, Democrats Using Ferguson Riots To Register Voters

The premise of this thread fails as a post hoc fallacy, as there is no evidence that those registering to vote are registering as democrats – that's a hateful, ignorant, and unfounded inference by the OP.


Indeed, only a conservative would be hostile to citizens seeking to exercise the fundamental right to vote.


Citizens have the First Amendment right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, whether conservatives approve of that grievance or not.

LMAO!!!

Democrats spent so many years trying to paint the GOP like they're all white racists, and you actually think it wasn't for this purpose?

Playing dumb like you do is pathetic.

The attempt to galvanize voting comes against a backdrop of intense political struggles over the ballot in the state. In 2000, polls were kept open late in St. Louis because of long lines, and Republicans complained about possible voter fraud — one chapter in what would be a long battle over elections and voting.

Republican lawmakers, who dominate the Missouri legislature, have repeatedly pushed for a measure requiring photo identification for voters at polling places, saying it is needed to combat fraud. Democrats have called those efforts an attempt to discourage minority voters. A 2006 voter ID law was overturned by the State Supreme Court for violating the State Constitution. The latest measure stalled in the State Senate this year.

Local factors in Ferguson complicate matters, too, including a relatively transient population and the timing of municipal elections — held in the spring instead of November, when presidential or congressional elections drive much higher turnout. On the first day of Ms. Hagens’s registration drive, she said, she helped 28 people fill out forms to vote, but five people who approached her to sign up said they were felons and might not be eligible.

Continue reading the main story
Over the last 25 years, the population of Ferguson, now about 21,000, has shifted from nearly three-quarters white to mostly black. Even so, five of the six City Council members are white, as is Mayor James W. Knowles III. Mr. Knowles, who once led the St. Louis Young Republicans, won a second term in April with just 1,314 votes from among the city’s more than 12,000 registered voters. No one ran against him.

Ask people along the streets here why they choose not to vote and they answer, mostly, with shrugs. Voter turnout has been far higher in presidential elections, and some had not even realized there was a mayoral race last spring. “You don’t really see the candidates or even anything about them until a week or two before the election, and even then it’s not much,” said Alyce Herndon, 49, who has voted but, like many here, said she had not had cause to attend Council meetings.

David C. Kimball, a political scientist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis who has studied voting patterns in the county that includes Ferguson, said some other suburbs that became black majority communities earlier than Ferguson, such as nearby Dellwood, have since begun electing black leaders. “There is often a lag time,” he said, noting that Ferguson’s black population was only slightly higher than half the total as recently as 2000.

There are small indications, Mr. Kimball suggested, that black voters in Ferguson had begun to exert at least some political muscle even before Mr. Brown’s death. In a school board election for a district that includes Ferguson residents, three black candidates ran this year, after the removal of a popular black school superintendent. Only one of the three won a seat, but Mr. Kimball said he viewed the campaign as a modest sign of shifting.

Among some Republicans, the mounting political efforts have provoked tension. Told of the voter-registration booth that had appeared near a memorial for Mr. Brown, Matt Wills, the executive director of the state Republican Party, voiced outrage in an interview with Breitbart News. “If that’s not fanning the political flames, I don’t know what is,” Mr. Wills was quoted as saying. “I think it’s not only disgusting but completely inappropriate.” http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/31/us/getting-ferguson-majority-to-show-its-clout-at-polls.html?_r=0

[Irony Alert]

And I'm sure the petition agents are going to be out and about, and in strength, in the areas where senior citizens will go to cash their SS/SSDI or other monthly checks and where the poor go to cash their welfare checks (i.e. the check cashing places) to get their petitions filled as quickly as possible.

[/Irony Alert]

Clue to Liberals: That means these people will be required to show some kind of photo I.D. to cash their checks.

Which means Voter I.D. requirements would be less harmful to any and all involved than the lack of confidence caused by allowing elections to materially corrupted by fraud. Fraud which Voter ID laws could help eliminate.

I have to show a picture Id where I vote in Missouri...

Yet why do Democrats say that voter I.D. laws are racist?

Why has Eric Holder sued every state that tries to institute laws that require a picture I.D. to register or vote?

 

[mudwhistle]

So now registering voters is amoral??

Using racism to do it is, and claiming that that wasn't the intent for the riots in the first place.

Huh?

It would be perfectly legal to use racism to register people to vote. Nay , I'll go further, you could start a political party intent on re enslaving blacks, and that would be legal. I don't think you'd find much support, but you could do it.

Nobody's talking about what is legal here. Only what is moral or not.

You can register people that support serial killers if you felt it would help your cause.

The thing that seems to happen here is Democrats end up registering folks like Ben Dover, Donald Duck, and Iva Biggin. They tend to step over the line, and using a crisis as an excuse to register voters is just one more. They don't even hide it. But up until they did it they would swear on a stack of Bibles that this wasn't why it became such an important issue.

Where would America be today without your moral superiority?

Probably speaking Deutsch.

Unfortunately there's some truth to it. What do you think would happen if blacks were to suddenly become law abiding citizens who actually worked for a living?

So you are saying that zero blacks are law abiding and zero percent work for a living..???

Democrats know they'll vote for a coke-head as long as he's black. They look at skin-color before anything else.

 

[Seawytch]

Yet why do Democrats say that voter I.D. laws are racist?

Why has Eric Holder sued every state that tries to institute laws that require a picture I.D. to register or vote?

Probably because the ID laws effect minority voters the most. Gee, that wasn't difficult.

Here's the deal...and I'm using rough numbers. 22% of eligible voters don't have the photo ID required by some of the more restrictive ID states. The amount of voter fraud that would be stopped with these restrictive laws is less than 1%. When the number of voters that would be disenfranchised is less...or at least in single digits and much closer the fraud that would be stopped, I'm behind restrictive photo ID laws 100%.

Where in the OP does it say any of the voters are ineligible?

ANY reason to get people to vote is a good reason

Unless you are Republican

Historical racism?

Any evidence of this? Huh?

Besides, it appears that over the years the racism has grown as the demographics shifted from being predominantly white to predominantly black.

 

[jasonnfree]

Republicans can do the same. Why the whining?

Repubs don't register rioters and looters at the scene and they don't register cemetary residents.

Voter fraud is rare, but vote caging and purging is real, and is always done by republicans.
