Texas Tea Party leader says GOP doesn't want blacks to vote, claims he "misspoke"

[derby378]

Dallas Tea Party leader Ken Emanuelson said Tuesday that he misspoke when he told an activist last month that Republicans don't want blacks to vote because they overwhelmingly support Democrats.

"That was a mistake," he said in an email. "I hold no position of authority within the Republican Party and it wasn't my place to opine on behalf of the desires of the Republican Party."

Misspoke, but you still spoke your mind loud and clear...go back to Gooberville, raise your union flag and jack off to reruns of Red Dawn on Fox TV, loser.
