OHIO LIBERAL SAYS RACIST “WHITE SOUTHERNERS” CONTRIBUTED TO LOSS
By FITSNEWS || Blacks are not to blame for the Democratic Party’s seismic defeat at the polls last week, or so says Congressional Black Caucus leader Marcia Fudge.
The Ohio Democrat told her hometown paper said pundits needed to “find another scapegoat” in the aftermath of the 2014 midterms – which saw the “Republican” party gain control of the U.S. Senate and expand its majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
According to her, black leaders did everything they could to mobilize black turnout …
“Our community organizations and churches mobilized to encourage early voting opportunities with programs like ‘Souls to the Polls,’ and African American activists and state leaders stood ready to combat any instance of voter intimidation or fraud,” Fudge told The Cleveland Plain Dealer. “Black elected officials crisscrossed the country to discuss the urgency and importance of this election. We phone banked, knocked on doors and held ‘Get Out the Vote’ rallies. Our losses were not a referendum on African American political engagement. We did our part, so don’t blame us!”
According to early data, blacks comprised 12 percent of the electorate – up from 11 percent in the 2010 midterms but down from 13 percent in 2012, a presidential year.
So … who is to blame for the Democratic losses?
Racist white Southerners …
“We lost because our party has, to some extent, lost white Southerners due in part to the race of our President,” she told the paper.
Really? Really?
Another race card?
For the millionth time, we oppose Barack Obama and his Democratic allies for the same reasons we oppose most lily white congressional “Republicans” – their shared failure to safeguard our prosperity and our liberty. White and black leaders of both parties continue to pursue policies that make this country less safe, less free and less prosperous.
Race has absolutely nothing to do with it …
RAPID REACTION
@fitsnews Mmmm, fudge.

“white Southerners ” caused election losses up North? Sounds like massive voter fraud and a reason for Voter ID.
West Virginia is the only “White Southerner” state that votes Democrat…. which has nothing to do with Ohio.
Fudge? Fudge? Is that really her name? She looks like anal fudge.
No hint of racism in this post. Real mature.
I would challenge Rep. Fudge to cite black voter turnout numbers to defend her position that black democrats turned out to vote in the recent mid term elections. We all know that the turnout was the lowest since WWII. However, I am not prepared to say that low black turnout is the sole reason for such an overwhelming defeat of democrats across the country.
Voter turnout was actually HIGH in some of the states with competitive races.
50% in Georgia.
Obama has turned Ohio from ‘purple’ back to ‘red’ for 2016. Kasich is a very popular governor that even has the support of private and pubic sector unions.
Fudge and the racist blacks in Cuyahoga County (Ohio) won’t be able to steal enough votes in 2016 to carry the state for the Democrat nominee.
Obama got 120% of the vote in some of the precincts Fudge represents. Still won’t be enough.
Care to offer a link to your claim of 120% voter participation?
“We lost because our party has, to some extent, lost white Southerners due in part to the race of our President,” she told the paper…I did not realize “white Southerners” flocked to place like Iowa, Montana and Alaska to vote.
Or Colorado,Massachusetts and Connecticut.
They’re sneaky bastards. You really have to keep your eye on them.
:-D
White Southerners—– they’re everywhere, they’re everywhere , they’re everywhere Actually the Southern attitude of right and wrong and standing up for one’s principals ARE everywhere. It’s called being an AMERICAN. But we really are sneaky bastards. LOL
You have got to watch those smart ass southern white boys.
It’s not just that he’s black. It’s because he’s a black Muslim terrorist from Kenya. So race is only part of it.
I am prepared to read an onslaught of posts denying any “white southern racism” towards our president. Queue phrases stating that he is Kenyan, or mulatto, or half-black. Or defensive statements suggesting that because one also voted for Haley or Scott, it could not suggest that southerners don’t recoil at the idea of a black man in the White House.
It would be naive to deny the power of the Southern Strategy. I have witnessed its successful deployment since the Nixon election in 1968.
Followed by a barrage of race baiting nonsense from your ilk. Southern Strategy, you’re a moron.
It is said that Nixon recognized the potential for a GOP southern strategy after giving a speech to a bunch of rabid white conservatives at the old Wade Hampton Hotel on Gervais Street. He may have even used the word “rabid” in describing it to his associates soon after.
Just another full of shit wacked out black woman. She will steal from you in a heartbeat and she will make up stories and lie.
you republicans keep crying about how racist the democrats are… well?
I don’t think democrats are racist, I think they are who Gruber was talking about.
“Shadup and take it, it is good for you because I think it is.”

Well written. Ms. Fudge is full of it. Black turnout was a MAJOR factor in the loss. Blacks don’t care about voting, period , except when it comes to electing Obama. Blacks struggled for decades and decades, demanding the vote, and now they take it for granted. Remember 1965 and President Johnson? the civil rights marches? what good was it all?
Why should blacks care? Has electing Democrats changed their plight?(not that electing Republicans would/will)
They are simply recognizing that voting is a sham.
They’re all sort of butt hurt because Obama didn’t pay off their Rent 2 Own accounts like their church deacons said he would.
Maybe she’s Fudging the data a bit.
White Southerners? How about Alaska, Colorado, Montana, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts and Maryland
This is cold hard proof that the same community organizing that went into getting Obama elected in 2008 and 2012 isn’t working now because his “community” is fed up with his abysmal performance as POTUS. Nothing racist about it.
It’s first, last, and always a matter of race to people like her. The Democrats need more leaders like her, for the sake of us Republicans.
Coming this Chritmus… Tyler Perry’s… Diarrhea of a Mad Black Congresswoman.
Why don’t you stick those *Two Middle Fingers Up* your ass and walk on your elbows.
I don’t get it. It that supposed to be funny?
With a user name like yours and you don’t get it, not surprising..
It’s a joke idiot, a made up move title and a nod to Two Thumbs Up. Go take life way too seriously and fuck yourself.
Still don’t get that I beat you to the punch.
Beat me to what punch?
‘Souls to the Polls,’
Just too easy…..
“Fudge packing the election with her ‘Souls to the Poles’ program.

“The Sky is Falling.”
So white southerners didn’t ante up the street money or the now covered up by the press acorn/moveon/SEIU machines drank and smoked up the street money?
That’s some nutty Fudge, right there!
