Apparently, someone out there asked, "How could the McKinney-Majette primary get even more divisive?"

ajc.com | Metro | Farrakhan to stump for McKinney

The already fiery election campaign between Rep. Cynthia McKinney and Denise Majette is likely to get more heated: Louis Farrakhan is coming to town.

The controversial Nation of Islam leader has scheduled a 6 p.m. rally Saturday in DeKalb County to urge support for McKinney, who is in the tightest race in her 10 years in the U.S. House.

The site of the rally had not been announced Thursday. Steven Muhammad, a Nation of Islam member who heads the metro group Muslims Active Politically, would say only, "He's here to ensure that money does not interfere with a race, that the people's voice is heard in the 4th District, not the money of political lobbies."

[. . .] McKinney's campaign manager, Bill Banks, said he knew little about the visit or why Farrakhan is coming.

"We have a lot of people coming in. They saw what happened to [U.S. Rep. Earl] Hilliard in Alabama," Banks said, referring to a black congressman who was beaten in a Democratic primary by an opponent who raised more than $1 million, much of it from pro-Israel donors concerned about his relations with American Muslims.

Majette has raised more than $1.1 million, more than half of that in the past six weeks and much of it coming from out-of-state Jewish donors.

McKinney has raised about $640,000. More than half of McKinney's donors have Arabic names and live out of state.

Anyone else really looking forward to what the warblogers make of this? Didn't think so.

I was in and around Chicago when Minister Farrakhan had the not-quite-deathbed revelation that anti-Semitism Bad, and I think local coverage was more extensive, so I'm as unimpressed with having that tossed his way as I am with Jesse Jackson's 'Hymietown' comment constantly brought up.

Then again, there are white people in and around New York who have a more nuanced view of Al Sharpton. It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose. What information you have, what information you flee from because it might conflict with your biases.

Whatever. Farrakhan evil, Jackson a shakedown artist, Sharpton a poverty pimp, McKinney anti-American and supported by terrorists, please fuck off and die.

Update: Too late.

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit kicks off the disinformation campaign:

CYNTHIA MCKINNEY has Louis Farrakhan stumping for her.

Those of you capable of reading fucking written English may have noticed that quote from McKinney's campaign manager.

At least the site he links to uses the more neutral, and accurate:

Louis Farrakhan is coming to Georgia's 4th this weekend to stump for Cynthia McKinney

You can excuse Glenn, though. He must have been foaming at the mouth over this:

TED TURNER LAND GRAB UPDATE: Turner has surrendered his claim to the land on St. Helena Island, owned by descendants of Gullah slaves, that he was attempting to claim. Good move, Ted. But then, when InstaPundit and Michael Moore unite in a good cause, the result is well-nigh irresistible.

UPDATE: Here, courtesy of reader Simon Ashton, is another story on the subject.

Well, at least now they're specifically descendants of Gullah slaves, instead of generic ones.

And he mentions "[t]he Nigerian members of [his] extended family" in another entry in case anyone (yes, me, I'm looking at you) was thinking of tossing baseless allegations of racism™ his way.

I see this is going to be a good day.
