As part of their ridiculous ad campaign, the National Black Republican Association counts Martin Luther King, Jr., among its ranks without providing historical context. Instead of listing blacks who were members of the party pre-1960s, here are some living, breathing, modern-day black Republicans on which to feast your eyes. Yes, that's card-carrying Republican JJ Walker (from Good Times) pictured with the devil incarnate.

Ann Coulter is either crazy or so obsessed with notoriety that she says crazy things to get press. Perhaps she's even a combination of both. Either way, I rarely pay attention to much of anything she says, but on Friday's Hannity & Colmes, which I find to be one of the most detestable programs on cable television, she speculated that Hillary Clinton would enjoy waterboarding someone (this was a compliment) and compared Barack Obama to Hitler (coming from her, I'm surprised this was not also a compliment) and his book to a "dimestore" version of Mein Kampf. At what point are networks responsible for the hateful and irresponsible drivel their invited pundits spew? Is this crossing a line or on par with what we would expect on Hannity & Colmes?
