Burmeister(R-Jim Crowville) is backed by party after report

[MGKrebs]

After first essentially confirming her racist comments Thursday, God has apparently told Ms. Burmeister that she is now permitted to change her story.

Here is the previous story:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=1934061&mesg_id=1934061

In which she is quoted as saying:

"... if black people in her district "are not paid to vote, they don't go to the polls," and that if fewer blacks vote as a result of the new law, it is only because it would end such voting fraud."

"... the memo's record of what she said "was more accurate than not," but added: "That sounds pretty harsh. I don't remember saying those exact words."

Now:

The (Atlanta Journal-Constitution) said they quoted me; there were no quotes in that 51-page document," Mrs. Burmeister told a friendly crowd at the monthly Columbia County Republican Party breakfast in Evans.

She said the memo followed three hours of telephone interviews about the bill's impact on black voter turnout and statements in it were rewritten and taken completely out of context.

She also told the crowd that she did not make the comments about Mr. McIntyre and black voters.

"The only way that liberal rag in Atlanta can help defeat this bill is play the race card," she said. "I resent what they have done, and I'm appalled at what they have done."


Yes it is :popcorn: time.....
