Reply #12: This one from the original, nasty, racist editorial in The Plain Dealer

[Helga Scow Stern]

before 1/4, which was quoted as "evidence" by the two Ohio Senators.

They didn't dare quote this paragraph on the floor of the Senate:

"But for two national figures whose constituencies are among the poorest of the poor, it seems an embarrassing waste of energies sorely needed elsewhere. Fold your mildewed tents, collect your soggy cardboard and focus on the poverty, single-parenthood and dropout rates that have so impoverished those in whose names you protest too much. Good causes await your serious advocacy. And what you are doing now isn't serious."
