You just know the dirty trick is going to happen. The problem is you don't know where or how it will happen. The dirty trick finally took place in the Mayor's race Sunday night.
Posters were put out in certain parts of Jackson that are predominantly Black. Black letters on a white background with a picture of a younger Chokwe. They accuse him of being a "race traitor" and use the word "wanted".
In my opinion (got it?- my opinion) this is a dirty trick by the Lumumba camp. Several sources informed me local political operative Greg Brand is now helping the Chokwe campaign. Political insiders will instantly recognize the name. He helps Democrats and lets just say he is not known for running the cleanest races. The words "sleazy" or "dirty tricks" are associated with him when discussing campaigns. In my opinion, this is a dirty trick by the Chokwe campaign or their little ally. Everyone who sees the signs is disgusted by them, gets mad at Lee, and then either stays home or votes for Chokwe. That is the intended effect. Keep in mind Mr. Brand assisted the Quinn campaign. Sure enough, the JFP and Ross Adams at WJTV, dupes that they are, ran with this story last night. The JFP naturally posted a picture of the sign on their website. Devoted a good bit of time to writing the story as well. Never occurred to them they might be manipulated... or they don't care. Put Brand and Bennie together and well, just think Mahorn and Barkley. Masters of sucker punches and bullying. Experienced political operatives recognize this stuff for what it is. They don't ask what is on the signs but immediately wonder "who is really behind this?"
Reminds me of the Grey Ferris-Amy Tuck race and the use of a certain flyer.
One final note. Many years ago in Mississippi, a black man ran for Congress. The N word was painted on his house during the campaign. It generated a great deal of outrage and sympathy.... from white people. This little story and the poster above had a common denominator. I'll let you figure out what or who that denominator was.

Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

OK, so Donna freaks out and demands answers as to who placed innocuous "please vote" signs in "white" districts. (they're actually all over the city, but facts are pesky things)
However, when incendiary "race traitor" signs are placed in "black" districts, Donna doesn't demand to know who's behind it. Rather, she assumes it's the Lee camp and runs with it.
Journalist? Don't make me laugh!
Wait, no mention of Hickinbottom now working for Lee on loan from Bluntson. He is one of the sleaziest fellows involved in local politics. Not like Lee isn't above the fray on cheap shots. Anyone listening to Hickinbottom calling into 90.1 saying Lumumba is sick and spreading gossip about his health is pretty low-down. Don't make me laugh!
I can feel my property value rising with stories like this, but I'd actually rather it stayed flat and Jackson elect a reasonable mayor.
Everyone in the metro will know tonight whether Jackson is worth saving or whether it's time to let the whole thing come crashing down.
what was on the flyer b/w ferris and tuck? interested to know.
I AM LOST THE POSTERS HAVE A PICTURE OF CHOKWE AND ARE CALLING HIM A RACE TRAITOR AND "WANTED" AND THIS IS GOING TO GET HIM VOTES?
Jackassery at it's finest!
Next Kingfish will say Blacks intentionally burned crosses in their yards and hung each other to get sympathy.
Lol, yeh let me just write the N word all over my house hahahahahahhaaha.
Keep showing your ignorance of politics. There is a whole side that never gets reported. Ask Marshand how he likes those flyers when he ran against Dorothy.
Meople must be another of the adolescent posters that show up here.
It's hard to believe that someone doesn't realize that you put posters like that one out to piss people off at the opponent, and get them to turn out to "show" the opponent that they can't get away with such a horrible smear.
Brand has been doing this sort of thing for literally the last thirty or more years. Smeared Evelyn Gandy of all people.
Wait...I haven't lived in Jackson for over six years but I am sure that Wards 1 and 7 where..."Posters were put out in certain parts of Jackson that are predominantly Black"? Those wards have never been predominanty "Black"
Love the new Banner! What so they call a female Uncle Tom? I have been called Oreo curious what else is out there...
The problem with your assertion that it's a dirty trick is that it pretty much relies on reverse psychology.
I mean, you say that the black community will see that sign and think to themselves, "I can't believe Jonathan Lee would do that!"
Why do they think that? Because at the end of the day, that is something an opponent of Lumumba would do. Is it possible that the Lumumba camp did this? Of course. But is it equally possible that the Lee campaign did it? Yes... They ran an attack that was pretty sleazy. Maybe they did this too.
Having said that, I voted for Lee in both the primary and the primary runoff.
The sins of the Jackson Public School system's decades of 40% drop out rates has come back to haunt the sensible candidates.
