August 6, 2004 EUGENICS0807
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- An openly racist candidate is the apparent winner in a Tennessee congressional primary.
James Hart, a believer in the discredited, phony science of eugenics, handily defeated write-in opponent Dennis Bertrand in the Republican primary for the Eighth Congressional District.
With most of the votes counted, Hart held a big lead.
Hart, 60, doesn't expect to defeat Rep. John Tanner, a Democrat who's represented the district for 15 years. But Hart said he wants to get out his message -- that people from what he calls ``less favored races'' should be discouraged from reproducing or immigrating to the U.S.
His definition of ``less favored races'' includes people on welfare and those from ``sub-Saharan'' African countries.
Hart said the Republican Party would like him to go away -- but he'll probably go to the GOP convention.

He reminds me of David Duke. He won the Republican primary for Louisiana Governor. He was the Grand Duke of the KKK. But he lost to Democrat in general election.
