"We count our negroes" as paraphrased by Joe Madison on Sharpton.

He was talking about the right-wing racists in Maine who were complaining about dozens of black people coming into town to vote, and how did that happen? We're going to find out.

It is incredible that this is happening in 2012.

which the weekly Republican rag reported as:
"Several complaints to the police Dept that groups of people have been walking around after dark".

The area of town was mentioned, ( mixed race residental area)
and the follow up "news" made mention that several groups of "older youths"
had been spotted walking around after dark.

Want to guess what race they were?
Hmmmmm?
