The NAACP is placed in a position of being considered a double standard organization. It is ok for them but not the rest of us.

The racial rhetoric of the race for the Democratic nomination for governor ratcheted up another notch Friday afternoon as State Treasurer Richard Moore's campaign displayed Confederate flag-emblazoned goods they purchased at Georgia convenience stores owned by Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue's family.

"Is this a hat that Bev Perdue would let her campaign staff wear?" said Jay Reiff, Moore's campaign manager, pointing to a row of three baseball caps with different "Stars and Bars" variations: one with flames, one with a reflective logo and one with camouflage.

Moore did not attend his campaign's news conference.

Perdue's husband, Bob Eaves, owns a chain of "The Right Stuff Food Stores" in Georgia. Until last year, Perdue was an officer in the company. Perdue's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Moore's campaign staff said they purchased the goods at two locations and displayed receipts. They supplied photographs of merchandise in the store. One image, above, shows beer insulators next to a University of Georgia license plate.

Update: David Kochman, a Perdue spokesman, issued a statement again accusing Moore of "Jesse Helms tactics." Kochman said the attack was "so low that Richard Moore himself wouldn't even attend the press conference announcing it."

Kochman said the stores are run by Perdue's stepson and that while her husband retains partial ownership, is not involved in day-to-day management of the company.

More after the jump.
