An unabashed racist will represent the Republican party in the
November election for a congressional seat after a write-in candidate
failed to derail his effort. With 86 percent of the primary vote
counted Thursday, write-in candidate Dennis Bertrand had just 1,554
votes compared to 7,671, or 83 percent, for James L. Hart, a believer
in the discredited, phony science of eugenics. In November, the GOP
candidate will oppose Rep. John Tanner, a Democrat who has represented
the northwest Tennessee district for 15 years. Hart, 60, vows if
elected to work toward keeping "less favored races" from reproducing or
immigrating to the United States. In campaign literature, Hart contends
that "poverty genes" threaten to turn the United States into "one big
Detroit." [more]
