hahahahahahaa.........they have no shame, do they?
NEW ORLEANS -- The nation's largest black church group interrupted President Bush's housing secretary with sustained boos when he said Thursday that the Republican Party is committed to helping blacks.
Alphonso Jackson, who is black, appeared at the annual meeting of the National Baptist Convention USA a few hours before Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry was scheduled.

"Kerry's not going to say anything about what's better about his party -- he's going to make an emotional speech and blame the Republican Party," Jackson predicted.

As such things go, the demonstration against him was restrained. Nobody yelled. There was certainly no obscenity from the 1,000 or so Baptists. A few of the men in dark suits and women in bright dresses, most of them middle-aged or elderly, laughed derisively at Jackson's comment. Then a quiet chorus of boos started, and went on about a minute. When it showed no signs of ending, the parliamentarian, Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Wendell Griffen, stepped to the podium.

1. Well he walked right into that one. When are people gonna figure out
that ReThuglican is NOT synonymous with Christian? Man, maybe when Jim Wallis gets as much press as the right-wingers, we'll get some REAL balance.
