The Chron seems to agree, bigotry and intolerance have no place in Houston.
Houston deserves better. Our city has a well-earned reputation for tolerance and openness. We don’t need inflammatory appeals to folks’ worst instincts.
Since it came out that Gene Locke actually met with these hate-mongers, Locke has now stated, “…I reject any association with the style of campaigning that was the subject of an article in the Houston Chronicle today.”
Let’s get real. Knowing Hotze’s anti-diversity record, what would make a former civil rights activist even think of meeting with him? Even if the possibility existed that Hotze could provide Locke a victory, at what cost would it come? And will Locke tell Hotze to cease and desist with “helping” his campaign?
These are questions Locke must answer beyond the usual “coalition-building” responses because we all know Hotze is only about uniting small minds against whole communities.
Kuff, Coby, and Martha add to the discussion. And Erik at Whitless Humorings, too.
