Dems won't deny Darby

The Alabama Democratic Party won't be kicking Holocaust-denier Larry Darby off the ballot.

The party's official statement is available here. For the most part, it sounds reasonable. The only thing I'd question is the party's contention that it had been unaware of Mr. Darby's views at the time he qualified as a candidate. Mr. Darby has made no secret of his feelings about Jews and the Holocaust, and he is fairly well-known around Montgomery. It's just hard to believe that someone in the upper echelons of the state Democratic Party didn't do a double take when they heard he was running for Attorney General. If they really did overlook it, then the Alabama Democratic Party is more incompetent than even I had thought.
