Where the hell do these people come from?

Comforting news in today's Montgomery Advertiser: "Alabama's Democratic Party is distancing itself from two Democratic candidates for state office who think all illegal immigrants must leave or be killed."

The disgusting pair in question are attorney general candidate Larry Darby, who thinks Nazis only killed about 70,000 Jews, and gubernatorial contender Harry Lyon, who supports public hangings of illegal immigrants who don't leave the state within 90 days. Darby, for his part, threw his enthusiastic support to Lyon: "If he's willing to have public hangings of Mexicans, that sounds like he's the right man for the job." Darby then said he'd like to see Iran "blow Israel off the map."

Back in this universe, the real Democratic AG candidate, Mobile County District Attorney John Tyson, Jr., had this to say about Darby: "This man is not connected to reality. I think he's a crackpot trying to get some publicity."
