Black conservative tea party backers take heat

Very good seed here.

A tea party supporter running against House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Lollar says he's finding support in unexpected places.

The 38-year-old U.S. Marine Corps reservist recently walked into a bar in southern Maryland decorated with a Confederate flag. It gave his wife Rosha pause.

"I said, 'You know what, honey? Many, many of our Southern citizens came together under that flag for the purpose of keeping their family and their state together,'" Lollar recalled. "The flag is not what you're to fear. It's the stupidity behind the flag that is a problem. I don't think we'll find that in here. Let's go ahead in."

Once inside, they were treated to a pig roast, a motorcycle rally—and presented with $5,000 in contributions for his campaign.

At least some people have learned not to judge a book by its cover and have reaped the benefits from that knowledge. Remember, history is written by the winners and while the issue of slavery was a major contributor to the start of the Civil War, the actual argument was Federalism vs State-ism as the major power over the People inside the States borders.

It is terrible the way innocent folks in the tea party are getting treated...both white and black.

The way some dems throw out the race card is incredibly insulting to blacks who are Conservative.

RC, its called intolerance, and the left is getting pretty doggone free with it. They must really be scared.

So people have to vote according to color...............?????

Excellent seed!

I just blame Coffee baggers for everything now....its the newest trend ya know.
