Fox Report: Haley Barbour Tied to Race-Baiting, Anti-Tea Party Ads in Mississippi
At Breitbart TV:
On Tuesday's broadcast of Fox News Channel’s "Hannity," network correspondent Ainsley Earhardt unveiled one of the attack radio spots that aired on stations around the state including WMGO 1370 AM in Canton, MS.
The spot urges listeners to participate in the vote and warns if voters fail to do so, it will result in the loss of entitlement benefits and funding for black universities.
"If someone tells you that by voting today, you cannot vote in November -- it's just a Tea Party, bald-faced lie.
"Are you going to let the clock run out on today?
"By not voting, you are saying 'take away all of my government programs, such as food stamps, early breakfast and lunch programs, millions of dollars to our black universities.'
"Everything we and our families depend on that comes from Washington will be cut.
"Mississippi will never be the same.
"The question is, will you spend $5 on gas to vote, or allow the Tea Party to send us back to the good ol' bad days?
"Vote against the Tea Party.
"Vote Thad Cochran."
Earhart identified the group responsible for the ad to be a group called Citizens for Progress, which according to Earhart is a group tied to former RNC chair and Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS).
