Rasta Republican (Jill Stewart On Ted Hayes As The Black Republican Liberals Love To Hate Alert)

A totemic figure in L.A., Mr. Hayes has long emphasized problem-solving and individual responsibility. If you want to stop kids from shooting people , Mr. Hayes has told appalled black preachers and activists, stop blaming cops and "white folks" for urban tragedy and start blaming the lackadaisical inner-city family culture you support.

Mr. Hayes spent last fall tooling around the fortified neighborhoods of South Los Angeles, knocking on security screens and urging stunned residents to vote Bush. He explained that the Democratic Party was the Klan's party in the 20th century, and the party of the slave trade before that. A lot of people he met didn't know their pre-1960s history. He's ever unflappable. In early December, he appeared on Fox News to vociferously defend the right of Condi Rice to be Republican. His segment was introduced by a bemused Brit Hume, who hardly knew what to make of the Rasta Republican.

Thanks man!

I have the WSj in question and scanned the editorial to my computer to show other people this fantastic guy.

I can't stand the partisan warfare that occurs among the Democrats regarding black people. The guy does good work, that should not be a partisan issue! If it was a Democrat that did good work, I would say "good for you" even if I don't agree with his political ideaology.

Black Republicans are routinely harassed to the point of insanity by the Democratic party and given the Dem's history, they should be ashamed of themselves.

That's enough of that as I will start rambling in a moment, LOL!

Arioch7 out!

I remember him ripping the Dems for their attack on Janice Rodgers Brown.
