re: #46 Charles

That doesn’t pertain to my point. He’s intended to legitimize the Republican Party among African American voters, whether he’s the nominee or not. That’s the purpose of a token politician — an appeal to emotion, to try to trick black voters into thinking they’re welcome on the right.

A tactic that I don’t understand at all, unless they honestly don’t think that those same African-American voters are going to completely ignore the direct attempts to restrict their voting rights via the ACORN attacks, and Tea Party members engaging in intimidation against voter registration groups as well as minority voters themselves. Not to mention, do they really think that the direct ties to (SPLC-certified) hate groups like the John Birch Society, the Family Research Council and American Family Association, and blatantly racist individuals like Rush Limbaugh and Pat Buchanan are going to go unnoticed?
