Ron Paul and the TEA Party ?

I love the way Newsbusters quotes the Post but does not supply a link. Here it is:

And I love the way the Post took Joyner's remark out of context and made it sound worse than it was. The "Let's not even deal with the facts right now" isn't as dumb as the Post made it sound:

How many more black people will stay home from the polls this November because they think the prez is turning his back on black people?

Forget that that’s a lie - that he has done plenty for African-Americans and will do more if he gets the chance to serve another term. Forget that bin Laden was captured and killed under his watch. Let’s not even deal with the facts right now. Let’s deal with just our blackness and pride - and loyalty. We have the chance to re-elect the first African-American president, and that’s what we ought to be doing. And I’m not afraid or ashamed to say that as black people, we should do it because he’s a black man. There are a great number of people who are against him because he’s a black man. That should be enough motivation for us to band together and get it done.

And I love the way that people freak out when Black people discuss uniting to use their collective vote to wield some clout. It's not wrong when the Tea Party does it, it's not wrong when the Evangelicals do it, it's not wrong when anti-abortionists do it. Voting blocs are only wrong when those uppity Black people do it.
