    Of course they became much more widely known and read after being on Limbaugh's show -- so it could still be money. Principles are tossed aside all the time for money.

    I don't join parties, so you are asking the wrong guy. I think the whole business is kind of stupid.
    But, they exist, nonetheless.

    Or they are. Can't be proved either way.
    A typical sinister ploy -- most recently employed by Al Sharpton and his compliant media. Suggest something is true and let the target try to disprove the negative.

    You must have learned at the Master's feet, Chump. In this forum, no one does it better.

    Exactly, as do people who compromise principles for money.

    So the possibility exists that they are conspiracy theorists. I'm not saying any are, just allowing for the possibilty.

    Nah, I think Wild Cobra and you do a much better job of jumping to conclusions.

    I'm not making that jump. they may or may not be conspiracy theorists, although their being Republicans makes them more likely to subscribe to some conspiracy theories, just as being a Democrat would make them more likely to subscribe to others.

    Like I said, Democrats choose to ignore they exist because it prevents them from advancing the narrative the Republican Party is the party of racists...unlike the Democrat Party, home to the only known, former Grand Kleagle and Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan serving in Congress.

    If you'd bother, they have a website.

    Here's a few history making black Republicans:


    http://www.nbra.info/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.blackgop&x=6253623
    LOL at the GOP drafting the corpse of Jackie Robinson to be a Republican.

    "I was not as sold on the Republican party as I was on the governor," Robinson wrote of Rockefeller. "Every chance I got, while I was campaigning, I said plainly what I thought of the right-wing Republicans and the harm they were doing. I felt the GOP was a minority party in term of numbers of registered voters and could not win unless they updated their social philosophy and sponsored candidates and principles to attract the young, the black, and the independent voter. I said this often from public, and frequently Republican, platforms. By and large Republicans had ignored blacks and sometimes handpicked a few servile leaders in the black community to be their token "######s." How would I sound trying to go all out to sell Republicans to black people? They're not buying. They know better."

    "I admit freely that I think, live, and breathe black first and foremost. That is one of the reasons I was so committed to the governor and so opposed to Senator Barry Goldwater. Early in 1964 I wrote a Speaking Out piece for The Saturday Evening Post. A Barry Goldwater victory would insure that the GOP would be completely the white man's party. What happened at San Francisco when Senator Goldwater became the Republican standard-bearer confirmed my prediction."

    "I wasn't altogether caught of guard by the victory of the reactionary forces in the Republican party, but I was appalled by the tactics they used to stifle their liberal opposition," Robinson wrote of that 1964 convention. "I was a special delegate to the convention through an arrangement made by the Rockefeller office. That convention was one of the most unforgettable and frightening experiences of my life. The hatred I saw was unique to me because it was hatred directed against a white man. It embodied a revulsion for all he stood for, including his enlightened at ude toward black people."

    Ah, that's a good one. I didn't bother to look at the link, but I knew about the Jackie Robinson story.

    Maybe you have to be a liar to be a Republican.

    Do you know any blacks that are racists against other blacks?
    I would like to point out that a few blacks ARE racist towards other blacks, or at least, towards certain blacks. See the "black vs n*gger" skit by Chris Rock for an example.
