Great video. It's a shame it will never been seen on TV.
Wonderful group of great Americans.
MSM – It's not the content of character, it's the color of skin (as long as it's blue).
Damn straight!
Heehee, it must really pi$$ them off.bwahahahahahahaha
Kudos to this American group in the video. The NATION is the important issue, to them, rather than "race"—which, of course has become a "game" with this current Administration. These people spoke TRUTH, which the MSM is in no way connected to. This Tea Party Express group reminds me of the blacks I grew up with—coming from strong Christian families, proudly saluting the American flag every morning outside our schools, and LOVING "God, family, and country".
The one critique I would give is that they need to be more focused on getting the message across rather than just everybody saying their piece. Halfway through this clip and 2 questions in they're still answering the original question because of how many people want to talk.
Other than that though, this is a fantastic piece of actual news that (as has been mentioned) will never be reported. Fox? You gonna carry the torch on this one too?
When I saw this I was extremely proud to be an American and ashamed for the MSM.
These outstanding individuals have always been there but have been shut out of the conversation for 50 years and silenced like they were runaway slaves by the MSM and the democrat party.
i just think we need to alfonzo in front of a microphone more often, he is spectacular, and i should know, i am a cracker, and i approve of this message. this whole group should be on every network, and show how smart conservatives are, but since the msm knows they would be shreaded, they will never let it happen. alfonzo for rnc chair, now!!!!
OMG… That was great, it made my heart proud!!!!! These people are right. They are not African-Americans, Female-Americans, or minorities, they are AMERICANS!!!!!! They are my brothers and sisters in the real sense of the word. Words can not express the pride I feel in these people for confronting a myth that needs to be torn down. Thank you, Thank you, and THANK YOU for being strong Americans willing to stand up to the Progressive/Socialists who hope to divide us into groups to destroy our Republic.
I will say it again, growing up in NYC (and living in several foster homes of different races, and a mother who would whop my head if I thought there was a difference between people based on genetics), I learned there are two races. Assholes and non-Assholes. The people speaking are clearly of my race, non-assholes.
And Zo, love the use of Humor to zing a truth to home. ;0)
Very inspiring video. You could just tell from the tone of the reporters out there that they are so out of touch with the thoughts of people who don't think like themselves. Typical liberal elitists…….sucks to be them!
Wow, congrats on getting all six black conservatives in one room.
A little big headed claiming you Progressive's have subverted/perverted an entire race don't you think? Progressive's like to think in the collective so individual thought or choice isn't factored in. Can't wait til Nov. when you all start feeding on each other, should be fun.
There you go. Bringing up race again.
Witness the "fog of journalism."
The last guy said it best, IMHO. What a great outing of how racist the liberal media are. Well done, to all who participated and for making the point so clearly that even the useful idiots writing about it couldn't ignore it.
Your government education is showing . . . . can't count either.
It's not about skin color, it's about ideology – now instead of wasting my time talking about crap that really doesn't matter lets focus on stuff that does.
Here's a list to get the ball rolling
Unemployment
Continoius Welfare
Illegal Immigration
The economy
Iraq
Afganistan
Corruption in Government ( Rangle, Blago, Maxine Water)
Remember the diference between a conservative and a liberal progressive, a conservative will argue with you a progressive just wants to shut you up – by discusing race instead of their sh*&ty ideology the achieve theiri objective
Only 21 % of America consider themselvs liberal, of that 5% very liberal so how come they seem to control the national
conversation? They are the minority, lets get off this non subject and tear into the stuff that does matter because when we do, that 21% will start to nose dive even further.
This presser was priceless. These journOlistas were like deer caught in the headlights. Better get a move on journotards, you guys are the roadkill left in the wake of the TEA Party Express!
In other words, blacks should never be conservatives?
You're a god damned racist, but then, we knew that already.
The issue is do you have to be such an asshole too?
His school had to cut counting in order to "squeeze in" the seminar on fisting.
WOW. An awesome video clip.
I'm with you 100%….
26% of blacks are registered as Republicans
11% of blacks voted for a Republican president in 2008
There are at least 10 million black republicans in the USA.
Counting children we can expect around 46 million black republicans.
They're just the latest ones to escape from the "Progressive" Plantation.
Hilarious! Are you pissed because there are 6 less on your plantation?
I feel the same way about my Hispanic brethren. The left wishes to enslave them in racebaiting for their ends, not ours. Education is important, unfortunately they have a lot of control of that message too. It takes a smart, yet cynical, person to read between the lies the leftists push in our educational system.
Here is a great idea we should all do. We the people can, because we are the ones who do the concenting.
Congressional Reform Act of 2010
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below..
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when
they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security
system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security
system, and Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans
do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay
will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the
same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American
people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective
1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.
Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to
work.
9. The highest paid congressman/senator shall not make more than the lowest paid private.
10. Repeal the seventeenth amendment.
Truly courageous individuals here. Far easier to line up on the Democratic plantation to get your "free" goodies. Hats off to them as they are seen as traitors in their community.
He can't help himself, it's genetic!! Both of his parents were likely assholes so he didn't stand a chance.
All of these people are quality individuals. I especially like Kevin Jackson. Sent him an e-mail once not really expecting an answer, but he wrote back within a few hours and we went back and forth several times discussing issues affecting all Americans.
Due to the current political climate in the country it is very heartening to see people like this stepping up. I dare say that very few if any white reporters will have the cajones to call them racists. Their brethren on the other side of the fence however will continue to villify them as Uncle Toms, house Negroes and various other derogatory terms for not towing the Black Party line.
I would gladly stand shoulder to shoulder with any of these people and be proud to call them brothers and sisters.
Reality in your FACE——-MSM!
Phew.. Someone pass gas on this thread? Oh I see, the regressive "Progressing" spoke.. Thus the smell.
Another Conservative American, we'll never hear about in the state-controlled media: CNS News reported on comments that were made by Alan Keyes, a conservative activist and former diplomat, at a recent meeting with other black conservatives concerning Obama and hypocritical charges of racism”:
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/70552
"Alan Keyes: Under Obama ‘We Shall All Become Slaves on the Government’s Plantation’"
Almost perfect, Washington. #3 needs to read: ALL government employees, including members of Congress pay into Social Security. Even a janitor in a V.A. does not pay into SS. They have their own program that Congress can't spend. That's a lot of people NOT paying into the system….and growing by the day.
For reference, here is the vile cartoon from Afro magazine that
speaker Robert Broadus mentioned around minute 7:20.
Black Conservative?
That's about as common as a" trickle down" liberal..
But, all are welcomed, color unimportant, values on the Conservative, standard equipment..
I guess no one would ever dream of calling those reporters racist. Who were they, anyway? How about some names and great big color headshots.
Yikes. Racist much, Regressing?
Dr. King would have been so proud to see these proud Americans standing up for their country, not hollering for a handout.
Whoever that reporter was who tried to take over the press conference should be b*tch-slapped. Her voice just dripped with condescension, and she was spoiling for a fight.
This group of people represent Dr. Martin Luther King's "dream" better than anyone else.
They are polite, well-spoken. endearing & passionate-
carrying on his legacy,
exactly
as he would have wanted.
They surely have his blessing
and they have ours !
That was a serious take down, but I thought some things could be made clearer (arm chair quarterbacking, they did great). 1) The Shirley Sherrod video was not "doctored" in any way and contained all the context necessary to keep the WH from firing her. 2) Even Cleaver admitted there was no intentional spitting by the man he refused to press charges against, that's a complete non-issue. 3) There is proof aplenty that the n-word was never said, but none that it was said even though the congressmen had an entourage that carried video cameras. Also, the congressmen all had a vested interest in discrediting the protesters — hence the 'perilous' walk through the roiling boiling tea (gimme a break) — but no incident occurred to allow for that. So they said they heard what they had wanted to hear. It's plain as day.
As far as Lewis being a hero, I'll give him his kudos for his bravery back in the day. Which is a heck of a lot more than anyone in the media gave former WWII pilot hero George HW Bush when he was president.
And as for racism. That reporter asking questions in the beginning was one of the most offensively condescending people I've ever heard. She must think black people don't have two brain cells to rub together. That's the only way she could possibly be so nasty about people of color expressing points-of-view that vary from her own. What a hag.
Call me a racist but… I find that black conservatives have the clearest voices in speaking for all of America. I don't know why it is so but it is so. and thank you for it. I first noticed this watching Glenn Beck shows on various issues… just wow!
a friend from Canukistan
love, love, love this … inspiring!
Spitz512,
Sadly to say, you and I both know this.
However, this is exciting and raw truth. It is coming from conservatives who have obviously seen what MLK was really saying during the civil rights movement.
Raw truth, once recorded and distributed, has a way of corroding through the walls of falsehood and political correctness.
TV is becoming irrelevant.
black conservative is racist…on their part…….drrrrrr…..which way did it go
Good grief.No wonder progressives think ppl are stupid.
The Florida GOP Governor Debate of 05 August 2010: A Lesson in Journalistic and Political Malfeasance
http://www.practicalstate.com/?p=1682
Cheers
There are 35 black conservatives running for the Congress this year.
Many thanks to these sweet Patriots for standing up, speaking the truth and refusing to be bullied. Thanks for posting it.
The tea party is the new civil rights movement. We are ready to step over the past and embrace an America where we live by a Constitution that applies to all Americans equally. The people on this video are the true free thinkers of our time. They are willing to move beyond the victim speak that has held a segment of our community down and lay claim to the greatness that sits right in front of us: the U.S.A. Those on the left are fighting a losing game. The lies that have been spewed by the left are starting to dissipate, and we will overcome.
I love Zo. That said, each speaker was very impressive. I really liked the way they handled such a bigoted lightweight.
John Lewis is not only a hero, he is also old. Many years ago my octogenarian neighbor and I would discuss life, living, and politics over the back fence. He was an old-time labor Democrat and was usually sharp, but sometimes he would tell me about last night's poker game – a game that had actually occurred 40 years before. I have no doubt that when John Lewis walked out into that hostile crowd on the Capitol grounds he heard racial slurs, but they did not occur at that time in that place. Let us give the old warrior his due, and direct our arrows at more deserving targets.
great video, truly inspiring.
I was extremely proud of those people and I really enjoyed their smack-down of that arrogant condesending reporter that asked that question. On the other hand, it takes reporters such as she to ask such questions so that smack-downs that she received will continued to be delivered to her/them.
I loved it and can't wait to see more.
Does your mom know you're not in bed?
I agree — if anybody is looking for "social justice" it's right there in the Constitution, where it's always been.
For those unfamiliar:
When the lady is at the podium, notice the gentleman to the right in the red tie (he's playing with the ring on his finger).
His name is Dr. Alan Keyes. He ran for President in 2008 and I voted for him. Why? He's a strict Constitutionalists with a PhD in economics (call me crazy).
Sorry he didn't win, but it was a lot of fun confusing liberals when I told them, "I voted for the black guy".
As soon as Zo walked up to the podium, I knew that reporter was toast.
I wonder if the reporters in that room realized how much intellectual awesomeness was there? I'm guessing their perception never got past the speakers' melanin counts.
There are more conservative Black folk than the LSM and the administration will ever admit.
Yes, the reporters were idiots and clearly outmatched by the people on the podium.
Really? I didn't get a racist vibe off of any of the reporters (though their willingness to believe a Congressman's claim about what happened despite video evidence to the contrary was high idiocy) just a liberal one.
Keyes compared the institution of slavery with liberalism and socialism.
“What did it mean to be a slave?” Keyes asked. “It meant that you actually had guaranteed shelter, guaranteed clothing. Your master guaranteed your food, your clothing, your shelter and a job.
—
*Raises eyebrow* Alan Keyes has a pretty high opinion of slavery if he thinks that it was just a series of rights. As I've said before, the only slaves in modern America are some of the victims of human trafficking (who find themselves working in whorehouses or what have you under the 'guard' of gangmembers).
Someone hasn't been looking at the letter behind all the minorities running for office lately…
If we accept the faulty premise that the Tea Party is all white, that conservatism is white, all that BS that is thrown at us… I have this to ask to anyone attacking us for our 'lack of diversity':
So what?
How does being white detract from the ideas? How does being white make what we say any less worthy? Are you trying to say that our skin color makes us less than valid? Is there something about the pigment of our skin than demotes us? Are you judging us on the basis of skin color? Are you saying that whites are inferior?
If so, I have no choice but to call you a racist. I'd rather not, because that is a word that should be used sparingly as possible.
(p.s. replace white to black above and see how it sounds.)
I think conservatives are perhaps spending too much time on the issue. They should simply challenge the liberal media to provide evidence of racism and then talk about the issues that drive them (primarily government expanding to areas where it shouldn't expand and spending tons of money it doesn't have).
The sad fact is that some people are going to believe the worst of others despite all evidence to the contrary. Bush was very vocal about Sudan's massacre of black Muslims in Darfur (moreso than any Arab or African country) and also invested a lot of effort in rationalizing foreign aid (ensuring aid money wasn't being squandered or invested in projects which didn't do the locals any good) but there are still idiots who insist that Bush is racist.
Fair minded people will recognize that tea parties are race neutral, the biased will cling to the lie they want to believe no matter what.
Believing someone just because he is black is racist. And this hero thing: Napoleon was a great hero to the French. Did he ever lie to them? Of course – it's called politics. So there you go. A person who claims something which cannot be proven should not be believed simply because he is black or a "hero". But you can believe anything you want – THAT is what makes America great. I personally think the man lied. Why? Hey, people lie. It's the nature of the beast.
Boooooooooooooo! Be more funny!

Is it damp in the basement of mother's house?
Would anyone know how or where to obtain a list of the speakers? (Yes, I know Zo) WONDERFUL!!!
And the thing about this asshat – you know by that response, the writer is white!!
wow. And I looked at the rest of the textbook propaganda cartoons…did the cartoonist get busted with the rest of the Russian spies?
Praise God for conservative American's of color! God Bless you all, you are the ones who are going to gather together and put an end to this insanity. Black America has an incredible history that has not been told and what has been told is a perverted LIE. I urge everyone to read American History in Black and White by David Barton, it will set the record straight, and unite this country.
You wish there wasn't a rapidly growing flood of black people that are becoming educated and becoming conservative
get out your life preserver!
Did John Lewis actually say that he heard the N word? I thought he declined to comment. I could be totally wrong on this.
Spectacular! These gentlemen and ladies should run for office! They would have my support AND financial donations. Very articulate, very smart!
Yeah, did you catch the second question – "substance of policy?"
So let me get this straight, Disagreeing with a Black president is racism, but expecting a Black conservative to think a certain way because of the color of his skin ISN'T?
I'd like to know as well. The lady in the pink blouse, who spoke towards the end especially. She should run for President. I absolutely loved her. In my book, in just the little bit I heard from her, she beats Sarah Palin hands down!
I wish these individuals would speak on urban radio. Too often these outlets spew inaccurate information regarding right of center politics. They would be great and add much needed intellectual diversity to these programs.
Yeah we tried to get your mom in the room but the doors wouldn't come unhinged…
Awww. Are you getting all sad that your race card isn't letting you automaticly win the game? Don't feel bad. There's always the NAZI card.
America hath no greater Patriots
Sure is racist of you to assume there is a race card to be played. I'm Caucasian.
HA! It's a rapid flood indeed. By 2020, you may be up to 10 if you let them out for longer than ten minutes. All the black Conservatives are figuring out that you still won't vote for them.
Never gets old. No, it's nice and dry and I recently redid the walls with the Obama tax cut I received. Thanks for asking.
The ones actually voted for by you? Letters don't mean squat if people like yourself refuse to vote for them out of fear that they may switch sides.
SHERROD ! http://www.noisyroom.net/blog/childrenfarm.jpg
Kristine, there is no doubt that you grew up in NYC. Assholes and non-Assholes! I love it! I grew up in Jersey. People from the Northeast usually tell it like it is, especially from NYC and Jersey.
My parents taught me the same thing – color mattered not, character did. My dad even said that education meant nothing because it didn't necessarily teach you how not to be an asshole. You could hold 7 degrees and still be an asshole.
I treat everyone as an individual, always will.
ZING!
Thank you for that.
Another ZING!
And another prize goes to . . .
These Progs are just batting zero, aren't they?
I agree with all 10. I especially like #9! Hoorah!
35 are running for office in 2010. And someone on page one already pointed out that there are MILLIONS of them.
Maybe they keep quiet because of asshats like yourself who make fun of them instead of respect that they have a different opinion than you.
You losing numbers on your Plantation you racist POS; gets your panties in a bunch, doesn't it.
That was a great video. Stick it to those Progs!
Make fun of them? Have to find them first before I can make fun of them. It's like making fun of hobbits. Where are they? And I never doubted that they can run for office. They never win because people like YOU won't vote for them.
And you can label me all you wish but I'm not the one herding them all in front of a camera to show how well they are treated on the Tea Party "Plantation". If it isn't an issue of race then why single them out and put them on display like it's some sort of market square auction? "See how well we treat our Conservative Negroes?" That in itself is racist.
Trick question: What's the name of the last Black Conservative that won an election either in the House, Senate or Governorship?
Besides Alan Keyes who is as looney as looney can be.
Really, like your side doesn't trot out all kinds of people for your own agenda – fake doctors in white coats, a family regarding SCHIPP that turned out to be very wealthy, a kid whose mother could have gotten financial help from a hospital, oh and the unemployed woman who was unemployed because she was a drug addict and got fired?
We don't trot these people out. Because of what is going on, because of the Tea Parties, they feel more emboldened to speak out, especially since everybody makes an issue of the President's race – ON YOUR SIDE.
You could paint POTUS pink and put ribbons on him and I'd still not like him.
There are more black conservatives than you can shake your finger at, moron. 35 are running this year, one of them being LTC West who could kick your ass with both hands tied behind his back and blindfolded. Then he could beat you at a game of Jeopardy since apparently you have no brains.
Everything you just said is horribly racist. You are a pig. GFY.
There are 35 running now. There could be any number of reasons why they didn't win. Could be that BLACK LIBERALS wouldn't vote for them because they consider them to be Uncle Tom's just like you do, you racist pig?
That. Was. AWESOME!!!
"BLACK LIBERALS consider them to be Uncle Tom's"? Are you stereotyping people of race based on pre-conceived racist ideology? No you're not a racist at all.
