Listen to the surprise in Luke Russert's voice as he reports that many African-American Republican candidates for congress are seeking support from the Tea Party. After all, says Luke, the Tea Party is a group that "a lot of folks have claimed to be racist against African-Americans."
Russert expressed his amazement on MSNBC this morning, discussing a New York Times article that reports that at least 32 black Republicans are running for Congress.

He still doesn’t get it, huh.
I guess he stopped learning when he died ...
Isn’t ol’ Luke...how do I put it?...an imbecile?
If he were Luke Smith, he’d be staring longingly at the counter to see what his take of the Starbucks tip jar will be at the end of the day.
These black candidates know the truth that "a lot of folks" are wrong.
The ‘folks’ would be very wrong, Russert. I was at Searchlight and virtually all ethnic and racial groups were well represented. You might try attending one before you open your piehole.
That is because activists in the tea party judge a man by ‘the content of his character NOT the color of their skin’...
Nepotism/sentimental hire....
They come in all sizes, shapes and colors. I suspect a few of them are democrats!
They believe their own propaganda. That’s sad.
Hear, hear. Whatever happened to going to a tea party rally TO SEE FOR YOURSELF? The way these morons posing as newsjournalists simply parrot what their “enlighted” friends tell them amazes me.
This is what happens when you inherit a position instead of earning it.
anyone got an email for russert
Things that might surprise the left about Black folk:
1) Many prefer NASCAR over the NBA
2) Many are avid NRA members
3) Many prefer country music over hip-hop
4) Many LOVE the USA
5) many like white folks
6) Many loathe Ebonics
7) many listen to Rush Limbaugh
8) Many believe Obama is a hustler
The left knows people like that but they don’t call them ‘black’. They have other names for them.
And sometimes it’s not that derogatory but there is an undertone about it.
I’ll never forget when after the gov. debate between Strickland and Blackwell, the news stations described Ken as an ‘angry black man’. I knew the election was lost at that moment even though the description was wrong!!
I’ll never ever forget it! I’ve held a grudge ever since.
Get your head out of the sand, Luke, and maybe you won’t get kicked in the butt so much. (Or, get your head out of your . . . never mind)
