Look at how many Black RW Strategists are popping up on cable news: |

Edited on Thu Jan-06-11 04:05 PM by jenmito
Robert Traynham, Ron Christie, Joe Watson, Lenny McAllister, Michelle Bernard, Amy Holmes, Angela McGlowan, Princella Smith, DeRoy Murdock, Kevin Jackson (teabagger)-almost all of whom are regulars on MSNBC. If you just crawled out from under a rock, you'd think the majority of Black people are Repubs. Talk about over-representation... :eyes:

1. I think you just listed every black conservative in America! |
|
Out of a population of 35+ million black people, we shouldn't be surprised there's a few whackjobs.

3. Yup-and they're all on TV. |
|
I guess it's a good gig-in high demand to pretend so many Black people are against Obama.

4. If you are an opportunist and want to make money |
|
call yourself a black Republican. And if a fellow black person can criticize Obama, he must be truly awful.

8. My teacher knows some of these guys. He even said to me, they're paid tons. |
|
He was even offered a lot of money to as he puts it..."hate on Blacks." That's why he doesn't watch cable news.

he should spread that fact around the media. Maybe people like Maddow and Olbermann would cover it.

9. I'm not black, but I am gay |

Maybe I can go on the TeeVee and kiss up to the bullies who would rather see me dead. I saw it on Cenk's show last week. LOL! What is it now Family values good, Gays bad. Got it.

11. The Log Cabin Republicks beat you to it. |
|
Same game, different minority.
However, if you are gay, also brown, female and REALLY HOT, there may be a place for you.
If you're a transvestite, forget it. Rudy 9u11iani already has that gig sewn up, and there's only one slot for that. Sorry Ru Paul.

12. Robert Traynham is a gay, black republican. That still falls short |

18. They have to hit all bases.. |
|
because they think everyone voted for Obama because he was black as though people couldn't determine for themselves as they have for many years with all other candidates.

I've started similar threads in the past. But I just saw a new one to add to the list today on MSNBC so I posted it today again.
