Republican Sen. Conrad Burns: When you need a boost, go racist

Montana ncumbent U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns locked in an even battle with Democratic challenger Jon Tester, decided to appeal to his base on Friday.

“They are faceless, they drive taxi cabs in the daytime and kill at night. Kill our elderly, our women, our children,” said Burns, to rousing applause.

First Lady Laura Bush was right there, campaigning along with Burns, meaning she agrees: Taxi drivers are our greatest threat.

Burns is apparently following a Republican plan originally divised by Virginia Sen. George Allen, who refers to his opponents as Macacas and other racial slurs, and also receives great applause from the mindless partisan zombies surrounding him.

There has been no comment from the four taxi drivers that serve the entire state of Montana.
