Sacramento Black Panther Turned Preacher To Stump For Romney
Source: cbs
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) A local former Black Panther turned preacher is now being embraced by Mitt Romney supporters.
As the presidential election nears, Dr. Phillip Goudeaux of Calvary Christian Center in Sacramento has been invited to speak at rallies in five of the swing states where its still a close race.
But CBS13 political analyst Steve Maviglio, a Democrat, says when he learned conservative black pastors from across the country have been personally invited by Romney supporters to hold rallies in critical swing states, he wasnt surprised.
They are getting paid to pray essentially, Maviglio said. I think its one of these dirty tricks by the Romney campaign.

(23,511 posts)I've lived here my whole life and had association with many of the ex-party comrades, and he is one of them. People have been talking about how he betrayed the cause of liberation for decades. Nothing new or strange here. Some today are right-wing, common liberals, Islamists, but a few maintain their original orientation.

In some ways, it may just be attention-getting behavior.

(37,162 posts)Which is a thread on this article:
http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/horowitz-abedin-hiss-norquist-muslim-subverting
It excerpts an interview last Friday (9/28/2012) of Horowitz by "Christ-centered" radio host Janet Mefferd on her show. Horowitz is still flogging the Huma Abedin "Agent of I.S.L.A.M." garbage. According to him, Norquist is a Muslim 'infiltrator' within the Republican Party:
Mefferd: Its very true and yet you had these five congressmen, Michele Bachmann and the others, who tried to say the inspectors-general need to look into this, and even Republicans stood up on the floor and said no!
Horowitz: You had Boehner and McCain, and McCain is just bonkers. But the Republican Party has also been infiltrated. Grover Norquist is a Muslim, he is a practicing Muslim.

(24,753 posts)paint the Black Panther Party with the same brush as say . . . the Weathermen.
What you have here is more of the double standard they're (in)famous for.
Obama/Ayers = "palling around with terrorists".
Romney/Goudeaux = respectable Republican spokesperson.

(2,650 posts)It might be worth noting that J Edgar Hoover's FBI had thoroughly infiltrated the Black Panthers with people like Richard Aoki (whose story was just told on NPR's All Things Considered).

In fact Hoover had Fred Hampton and Mark Clark murdered in their sleep. A little tidbit Clinton Eastwood's "J Edgar" left out.

(1,663 posts)The same is being done in New York. Prominent black ministers telling their congregation they shouldn't bother to vote because President Obama supports gay marriage. I am not surprised. Republicans want to keep people poor and poor people are very good at filling pews and collection plates.
