The head of the Missouri Republican Party said Tuesday that efforts to register voters in Ferguson, Missouri, were disgusting and unhelpful.
If thats not fanning the political flames, I dont know what is, Missouri RNC executive director Matt Wills told Breitbart News. I think its not only disgusting but completely inappropriate.
Wills was responding to reports that Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and other civil rights activists had set up voter registration booths following the death of Michael Brown, an 18-year-old unarmed black teenager who was killed by a Ferguson police officer.
Five thousand new voters will transform the city from top to bottom, Jackson said, according to the Daily Caller.

Never have, never will. They are anti-American. And by the way, setting up voting booths is a great thing to do. It may help calm the situation where one side feels helpless. It's a positive reaction that may result in more positive reaction. Of course Republicans will mock it. It's what they do.
