Memories of lynchings, etc

Atrios has a copy of an old racist ballot from the south. Geez.

Isn't it nice that AP totally ignored the fact of the controversy that over 12 Senators are refusing to support this thing and THAT'S why the apparently just passed it tonight by a voice vote (i.e., there's no recorded actual vote, so you can't see who opposed it). Congrats to AP. And congrats to the Senate for taking the memory of lynching, and, well, tainting it again with bigotry. Woo woo! And we thought the gays had it bad. These bastards can't even agree to get their act together about lynching.
