For a party that always argues their ideas are better than that of conservatives and Republicans, one wonders why Democrats spend most of their time shrieking like banshees about racism and sexism (or “war on women”). I guess that’s why this clown is pulling this stunt:
Rep. Brett Hulsey, D-Madison, said Thursday he plans to hand out Ku Klux Klan hoods at the state Republican convention this weekend.
Hulsey, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate whose bizarre antics have been on display for years, called the hoods — which are generally regarded as a racist symbol akin to a Nazi swastika — “Republican Party hats.”
Asked whether handing out the hoods would be viewed as offensive, Hulsey said, “What I find offensive is Gov. Walker and the Republicans’ racist record. They’re the ones considering the resolution to leave the United States.”
This is not an isolated incident. The guy is somewhat of a kook which makes him a pretty mainstream Democrat:
The stunt is the latest in a series of antics from Hulsey, who before announcing a run for governor faced challenges from two Democrats for his West Side Assembly seat.
In 2010 he was accused of fudging an endorsement quote from his predecessor; in 2011 he was criticized for hogging the limelight during the Capitol protests; and in 2012 he was cited for disorderly conduct for tipping over a child on a raft at a Madison beach, an incident that led to him accusing Madison’s mayor of conspiring against him.
Nice work, Dems!
