Ms. Nelson has the right to go on any program she deems necessary. If Michael Moore can go on O'Reilly so can she. Theres nothing wrong with being a conservative. Some of my best friends are. The problem arises when you become a Republican shill. When you call out your "dittoheads" to disrupt a gathering where violence might break out. When you can't have a civilized conversation without being told to "shut up". When Rush Limbaugh plays songs about Negro's, it doesn't make Blacks look bad, it just makes him look small.
I think that this article could have provided a little more context on the subject for why black people are so anti-Republican and blindly follow Democrats.
