Putting a Black Face on Racist Racism Redux

Heather at Crooks and Liars ask:
So what does a Republican politician do when they can't give a good answer on why they think it's acceptable to disenfranchise millions of people with a voter ID law they just sponsored? Why blame it all on a Democratic sell out and Blue Dog, Artur Davis, who was rejected by the electorate in 2010, naturally.
Putting a black face on racist, racism,  Sweet Home Alabama Style!
RICH: Well, let me just quote Artur Davis. That`s the former black congressman from Alabama. He represented Selma, represented a portion of Montgomery and a good man. But, anyway, he said I have changed my mind on voter I.D. laws. He said, I think Alabama did the right thing passing one. He went on to say he said when I was congressman, I took the path of least resistance on this subject. And without any evidence to back it up. What this is about is it`s about protecting people`s vote. If you look at our law, our law is patterned almost identical to the Georgia law. The Georgia law has already been approved by the U.S. Justice Department. There`s also been laws in Indiana and also in Rhode Island. Southern states are not the only states that are passing these laws.
Alabama Voter ID h/t Tax the Rich
Alabama voter ID registration:

Are you white?

Do you vote GOP?

Are you a racist?

Are you a bigot?
Do you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Fox news at least 10 times a week?

Do you got to an evangelical church?

Are you conservative?

If you answered NO to any of the above; you must have birth certificates of all ancestors going back 4 generations, pay a $10,000 registration fee, pick up a parking sticker that will enable you to park no closer than 6 miles from your voting precinct, and prove you are not a member of any unpatriotic organization; at which time you will be allowed to cast your vote between 3:00 a.m. and 4:15 a.m., on the day before the first Tuesday in November.
