New York assembly candidate Ben Akselrod has reportedly distributed campaign literature to thousands of likely voters with a pretty appalling typo– the man replaced “neighborhood” with “negrohood” when discussing high crime rates.
“I am running for Assembly because I believe the number one job of that office is to keep the community safe. The current assemblyman has allowed crime to go up over 50% in our negrohood so far this year. I am fighting for video cameras throughout our community to protect our seniors who are the most vulnerable; and cut down on anti-Semitic attacks in our community. I will also make sure the mayor gives our community more police to patrol our streets” [Emphasis added].

Akselrod has not yet issued a public clarification, despite the growing controversy.
According to his website, Akselrod is an immigrant from the former Soviet Union running partially on a platform of public safety. He is also passionate about the economy, stating that “our economy will not grow unless the government creates jobs.”
Akselrod will be challenging the incumbent, Steven Cymbrowitz, in the upcoming Democratic Primary in the 45th Assembly District.

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 9:48pmMaybe this is Democrat dirty tricks. The printer was paid by the opposition to print these up wrong. Get rid of a challenger, maintain the Democrat party status quo, & have proof that there is still racism.
Did Ben Axelrod type is up that way. did his staff write it that way. Or was it the printer?
If it is Ben is this something he picked up from people after he came here 20 years ago from the Soviet Union or did he bring it with him?

Posted on August 27, 2012 at 8:12pmI think I agree. This looks like dirty tricks to me. They either hacked his site or the person who put the text up on the side worked for his opponent, and the minute the text went up they made sure everyone knew about it. Perfect example of New York, progressive politics and ethics. I’m betting the ones that did this also make a lot of money of the crime the other guy is promising to stop.

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 9:35pmActually the word Negrohood is a accurate synonym for a high crime area.
Blackest cities in the US (2005 US Census)
1 – Detroit
2 – Gary, Indiana
3 – Birmingham
4 – Jackson, Mississippi (17th highest homicide)
5 – New Orleans
Highest homicide rates by city (2006 FBI Report)
1 – New Orleans
2 – Gary, Indiana
3 – Detroit
4 – Flint, Michigan (13th most black)
5 – Birmingham
The problem is not that the word Negrohood was used, the problem is it’s true !

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 9:37pmThe problem with many black Americans is that they are beholden to the Democrat party & thus are being held back with lies & misinformation.
The more things change the more they remain the same. Roman politicians used mobs to win office. Hitler did the same with the SA (brown shirt mob). The Democrats are no different (OWS, Rainbow Push, NBP).
You got to keep people down if you want them to act like a mob. The Democrats are pros at it.

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 10:07pmGovernment does create jobs, yet it does not create jobs that create wealth. For instance, the jobs that government creates are government jobs, but those jobs are paid at the price of tax dollars, by taking from the taxpayers. Government and the jobs it creates are both parasitic in nature, as they cannot exist without a host. The host is the taxpayer.

Posted on August 26, 2012 at 11:34pmJobs, n. A regular activity performed in exchange for payment, especially as one’s trade, occupation, or profession, e.g., military, military contractors, supporting civilian personnel, etc. Providing for the common defense requires people performing regular activities for pay and benefits which allows others to create wealth rather than having to devote time to protecting themselves, their familes, and their businesses from all enemies foreign and domestic. I suspect the American people are getting their money’s worth from our military. But when the VA, GAO, and other civilian government employees waste millions on BS conferences then the public is being screwed. When the military becomes unionized the value we receive from the military will equal that of civilian government workers. So the government does create jobs, but unions promote mediocrity which diminishes the value of government products–think Gov’t Motors.
