McDaniel: GOP should be 'purged' after Senate race

[DonViejo]

Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel said Friday that other Republicans used "race-baiting" to hurt him in a U.S. Senate primary, and the GOP needs to be "purged" of people who use racially inflammatory campaign techniques against members of their own party.

McDaniel lost the Republican primary runoff last month to six-term U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, but he has not conceded. McDaniel says he intends to challenge that loss, and his campaign is still examining ballot boxes and poll books to seek voting irregularities.

In an interview Friday on "Focal Point," a talk-show on American Family Radio in Tupelo, McDaniel criticized Cochran's campaign and political action committees that supported the incumbent.

"They hired Democratic operatives to go out into Democratic communities and call me a racist," McDaniel told host Bryan Fischer. "That's despicable. It's the scarlet letter that they know works in society. It's the way Democrats campaign. It's the way liberals campaign."

5. Just more hypocrisy

"GOP needs to be "purged" of people who use racially inflammatory campaign techniques against members of their own party"

What about using these campaign techniques against members of the Democratic Party?? They do it all the time so why is he surprised - he knows what they are capable of. I'm sure many in the GOP would like to purge the TP.

6. Cue Jesse Helms!!!

7. I agree

The GOP should be purged from this country. Starting with McDaniel himself.

8. I wonder if he intended to give himself away as much as just did:

".....the GOP needs to be 'purged' of people who use racially inflammatory campaign techniques against members of their own party."

ergo: "people who use racially inflammatory campaign techniques against members of the Democratic party" must be perfectly acceptable to this sleazebag.

Cochran made his best effort to get re-nominated. McDaniel made his best effort to take the nomination away from Cochran, and lost. And now he's in McDenial.
