Like heck. There are a lot of black conservatives who catch non-stop flack from the lib media and from other blacks for their views. They aren't being paid - they are speaking of their own convictions. Williams is being criticized by both left and right not for his views, but for what he did - take money to shill those views. It has nothing to do with him leaving the liberal political plantation or his views. For you to the ethically-challenged Williams in the same league as honest black conservatives is wrong.
"For you to the ethically-challenged Williams in the same league as honest black conservatives is wrong."
Now you presume to read my mind. Black conservatives get criticized if they blow their respective noses. I never said what Williams did was ethical, or prudent. It wasn't.
You get a con man like Sharpton, who is a crook, and a thief, and should be in jail (Tawana Brawley), and he not only gets a free ride, he runs for President, with virtually no scrutiny by the media. Then along comes Williams, who makes a mistake, admits it, and he is castigated by the left and the right!
Aside from the war, I am not a big fan of Bush. He gives the NEA scum an extra 8 billion dollars to play with, and helps them to consolidate their power with this BS education boondoggle. Then he plays lapdog for Vicente Fox.
