Weller Using Racial Smears

Republican Slimeball (a redundancy, I realize) Jerry Weller is circulating an ugly racist mailer in his bid to win a thoroughly undeserved reelection in IL-11. The Chicago Tribune has the story:
The mailer, sent out this week by Weller's campaign, depicts a larger-than-life Jackson in front of the Chicago skyline, holding puppet strings attached to John Pavich--Weller's challenger in the 11th District.

"With John Pavich in Congress, Jesse Jackson Jr. will be pulling the strings and controlling the third airport in Will County," it states.
Jackson, a Democrat who represents southern Cook County and a small portion of Will, and Republican Weller, who represents a suburban and rural area stretching from Joliet to Bloomington, back competing plans for a third regional airport near Peotone in Will County."Mr. Weller is using deception to exploit racial fear in order to save his political career," Jackson said in a statement. "It's disgusting, but not surprising."Pavich, a Democrat from Beecher who is trying to unseat six-term incumbent Weller, accused his opponent of "race baiting."
"There is a striking similarity between Mr. Weller's portrayal of my image and the racist propaganda used to negatively portray African-Americans," Pavich said.
Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, should be surprised by this. Weller is an evil, corrupt man who in 2004 married into the most notorious crime/murder/terror family in Central America. No Republican in America deserves defeat more--and brothers and sisters, there are a whole lotta Republicans who deserve defeat.
Did you ever notice that when a Republican is desperate, he starts slinging the racist filth?
JOHN PAVICH FOR CONGRESS. VOTE DEMOCRATIC ON TUESDAY!!
