Democrats - Party of the Little Tent

The Mississippi Democratic Party sent out an email today (HT Majority in Mississippi) announcing they are coordinating their campaign efforts with "Organizing for America" (formerly "Obama for America") to help out Travis Childers, Gene Taylor, and Bennie Thompson.

The email arrogantly portrays elections as theft ("The Republican Party desires to steal our three Democratic seats"). We guess their incumbents feel entitled to those seats, as if they own them, and the very idea that the voters of Mississippi might think otherwise outrages them. Can you believe the voters want to "steal" the seats of their representatives? Apparently the voters have been led to believe those elected officials represent them, when the Democrats know these incumbents run the show and the voters should just fall in line.

But, hilariously, the email also describes the Democrats as "the party of the Big Tent". Right. Unless you are a conservative, in which case you don't really belong in their party and in fact, you're a "liar". Or, unless you are a white in Noxubee County, in which case you should be blocked from even voting. Or, unless you don't fall in lock step with the orders of the "leadership". Or, unless the Democrats question your "loyalty."
