39. Gee.....I wonder if Coretta knew her husband was a repuke?
And to think she fought for the Democratic issues all her life. And she didn't know what her husband's politics were? Oh,I'm so sure! Just think,the FReeptards will be all over this.I think it's a disgrace to sully Martin's reputation when he can't defend himself.

What a lying rag that magazine is. NO PHUCKIN WAY was Martin a repuke. That's all these rightwing nuts can do is trash other people's reputations. God,they are so despicable.NONE of the issues he believed in and fought for are repuke issues. That's how stupid these people are who wrote that bu$hit. Of course the FReeptard mentality will eat this shit up. :puke:

49. They must be latching on to the technicality
That most southern blacks were Republicans due to Lincoln.

MLK would be as disgusted as most blacks are of the post-Civil Rights Movement version of the GOP.

26. Black Republicans: Illiteracy rules?
So I checked out the "National Black Republicans" website, clicked on the picture of Martin Luther King, Jr., and learned that, among other things...

"He was awarded the 1964 Noble Peace Prize for his efforts..."

Okay, now my eyes REALLY hurt.

9. Repeat: NO Condi Pix...
...BEFORE breakfast!

Actually, thanks for that. Wonder if their money for publishing comes from some Neocon slush fund...ummm, because with 98% (+/- 2% error) of African-Americans totally opposed to Dubya, I imagine their subscription base is smaller than dubya's IQ.[]

11. "BY THEIR FRUITS, YE SHALL KNOW THEM"...
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 09:39 AM by leeroysphits
Yeah, do they mean record surpluses and sustained economic growth? Or perhaps they refer to shrinking deficits and crime rates.
Maybe they refer to REAL foiled terror plots and actuall CONVICTIONS of terrorists.

WOW. I would never have expected such a conservative sounding magazine to print such a glowingly positive article about democrats, he he he.

13. I wonder what that magazine's circulation rate is
And why would anyone want to associate themselves with a political party knowing full well that the majority of your fellow GOPhers hate you simply because of the color of your skin? We had something similiar here in Orlando a few months ago, when the head of the local NAACP announced he was joining the Repug party. He said that his decision had nothing to do with their ideology, but that it was solely business-related. I wonder if he knows that his "business partners" are probably making racist jokes about him once he is out of earshot?

Same thing puzzles me about the Log Cabin Republicans.

22. It is rather telling how they tout their black republicans
It's almost as if they're like "See, there are a few black Republicans". They love to trot out JC Watts, Colin Powell, Alan Keyes, and, ...hmmm...err....there must be a few others, but I can't think of them.

It's kind of like that conservative who says "I'm not racist, I have some black friends". South Park hit it dead on when they introduced Token as a character.

I'd love to find out. Indeed, I'll bet this is underwritten by a bunch of fat, evil, white guys.

And . . . MLK a repuke??? Has reality ceased to exist??? This is almost too much to ponder before the second cuppa . . .

37. Notice how they have to stretch way back to the pre-Civil War era
http://www.nationalblackrepublicans.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=pages.BlackGOP&x=7021380

Notice how many of the black Republicans they are touting are from wayyyyy back - Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Booker T Washington, Sojourner Truth to name a few. You know they're desperate for self-validation when they have to do that.

Also, Denzel Washington is a repug? Does this mean I can't like his movies any more? ;)
