Update: Empty Chairs of Sharpton, Fauntroy, Morial
Caroline May reports at The Daily Caller:
The conservative chairman of the black leadership network Project 21, Mychal Massie, did not mince words Monday afternoon as he spoke at the empty chairs of his three would-be sparring partners -- Al Sharpton, National Urban League President Marc Morial and former D.C. Congressional Delegate Walter Fauntroy -- all of whom had been scheduled to debate him about the alleged racism in the Tea Party.
“It is nice to blame the white man, it’s nice to blame ‘Uncle Toms’ -- such as myself -- it’s nice to blame right-wing, extreme Republicans and conservatives. It’s easy,” Massie told his absent liberal counterparts. He was driving home the point that demonizing the Tea Party, which is unified by a desire for less spending, limited government and devotion to the Constitution, is not the answer.
