The Darker Side Of Victory

Like Time magazine in 2005, it's speculated that Kasim Reed’s political operation “O.J. Simpson-ed” a political opponent in the Atlanta school board race.

In neighborhoods that are quickly gentrifying, Reed’s political machine altered photos to make the opponent’s skin tone appear darker then it is in real life while asking, ironically, “Would You Trust Someone Like This With Your Children?”

Sadly the AJC missed the story and stepped over the body in its reporting of the crime. 

“In a year of scandal and leadership change at Atlanta Public Schools, talk of cross-dressing and dirty rap lyrics has dominated the final days of a district election to the school board.”

For the moment, put aside the cross-dressing and dirty rap lyrics. The below two mailers tell a larger story and illustrate exactly what Reed’s political machine is capable of and prepared to do.
