The Arkansas Republican Party said on Monday that it would no longer provide financial assistance to three candidates who wrote racially insensitive things like slavery was a “blessing in disguise” and all Muslims should be deported.
State Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb told the Associated Press that the state party would no longer contribute to House candidate Charlie Fuqua, state Rep. Jon Hubbard or Rep. Loy Mauch.
The state Republican Party chairman also defended Mauch’s statements about slavery, saying they were “made from a historical perspective.”
“While I hold a contrasting view of those events, I recognize Rep. Mauch’s right to a different perspective of history,” he insisted.

Secondly I don't believe Jesus Christ condoned slavery one bit, in fact from all I know HE CONDEMNED SLAVERY to the fullest.
Ephesians 6:5 NLT) Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ
(Coll 4:1 ) Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.
You cannot be a pure christian and be pro-slavery. The right has managed to mix capitalism(which is a form of exploitation) with religious misinformation, thanks to a large degree of the romans who perverted that religion.

Not a racist remark but I think when people of color hear about racist remarks made from white politicians they tend to go off half cocked not thinking. I can see why they are guided by emotion, but they didn't stop and think rationally.

Least you forget Shelia Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters to name a few democrats who are stark raving idiots. Robert Byrd the klansman and a plethora of other Democrats who are just as retarded as these three.
Why dont you stop with the partisan bull crap and demand that ALL those who would present themselves for public office actually prove their ability to hold a basic conversation about educated topics.
Keep pulling those party barges you slaves. Remember you only have two choices, idiots on the one hand and idiots on the other.

The Arkansas Republican Party is full of Crap and is in someones pocket. When ATS recently had a thread on Hubbard I looked up his voting record. Hubbard did a lot of good for his state and none of the bills he supported had any racists overtones. I think I was the only white rational thinking poster in the thread. Not a racist remark but I think when people of color hear about racist remarks made from white politicians they tend to go off half cocked not thinking.

It should not matter what a person believes about something that happened over 150 years ago historically as long as it doesn't effect their job and how he votes today. I applaud Hubbard for his standing up for his 1st amendment rights. The other two I have know knowledge of.
