I for one am sick and tired of the MSM bashing of any candidate that's conservative regardless of the color of their skin. I applaud Rev. Jarrett Maupin for taking a stand on blatant bigotry.
Vernon Parker did not initiate the article on Ben Quayle's "RENT A FAMILY" The Capital Times broke the story. Nor did he put it on MSNBC, CNN or Jay Leno.
Vernon Parker did not put the quote " referring to Parker as BOY" on Ben Quayle's web site, Ben Quayle is totally responsible for his actions.
In over half of the United States to call a man of color "A BOY" is a derogatory term, if Ben's spinmeisters had done a little homework before they let his mouth overloud their typing, Quayle's covey would have know that.
Ben Quayle did not misspeak, the quote is posted on his web site in a vicious premeditated attack on a man's character. After all Ben Quayle isn't experienced in running a campaign or facing a controversy with the truth. Adding to the swamp in DC if Quayle is elected. His campaign funds 80% plus have come from out of state donors. BE
Civil Right Leader, the Rev. Jarrett Maupin calls on Congressional Candidate Ben Quayle to apologize for racially insensitive Campaign Remarks; the Reverend questions Qualye’s commitment to equal opportunity and says: “Ben is not mature enough to be an effective leader in Washington, D.C.”
*Phoenix** – *Arizona Civil Rights and Political activist, the Rev. Jarrett Maupin is speaking out against political newcomer Ben Quayle. The Reverend is calling on Quayle, a Candidate in Arizona’s 3^rd Congressional District race, to apologize to Arizona’s Black community for what Maupin has called, “…ignorant and racially insensitive remarks.” Maupin’s demand comes hours after Quayle referred to former Paradise Valley Mayor Vernon Parker, a leading candidate for the same seat in Congress, as “boy”; a historically offensive term used to berate African-American Men. In that same statement, Ben Quayle also chided Black business owners for their use of federally approved minority contracting methods. Maupin says, “Ben Quayle’s words are unfortunate. He has confirmed the speculation that he doesn’t represent a new Generation of Conservatives. He is the descendent of people who benefited while Blacks suffered under Jim Crow. Now, his campaign is pandering to the likes of James Crow, Jr. Esquire.” Maupin says if the son of the former GOP Vice-President does not apologize to the Black Community and to Candidate Vernon Parker directly and soon, he and others will publicly campaign against Qualye’s candidacy, “If he refuses, we will hit the campaign trail and make his words known to everyone who will listen. Civil Rights Groups, Churches, Radio, Television; they will all know the hurtful words of Ben Quayle. He can run for office but he can’t hide from what comes out of his own mouth.” Printed in it's entirety by permission of Rev. Maupin.
