Who Was that Man who Begged McCain to Attack Obama?
(Taylor Media Services) In what some have described as a “shameless spectacle,” James T. Harris recently gained national notoriety when during a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin he literally begged Republican presidential contender John McCain to be more forceful in attacks against Democrat Barack Obama. Many wondered exactly who was this man standing at McCain’s feet pleading.
James T. Harris is a 44-year-old Black conservative. He makes a living as a radio talk-show host in Milwaukee. Harris stood out in the crowd when he stood near the rally stage and said to McCain, “I am begging you, sir. I am begging you. Take it to him [Obama].” The virtually all white audience cheered. The incident was broadcasted over virtually every major television network.
As a result, Harris says he has received hate mail calling him everything from a “Sambo” to an “Uncle Tom.” Last week, the excitable Harris even stormed off the set of a CNN debate with another Black conservative who was supporting Obama. When the other conservative made some negative comments about the Bush administration, Harris shouted, “Stop, stop, stop the madness!” and stormed off the set.
