AlfonZo Rachel says Charlie Crist is blaming the black guy

When former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist appeared on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, he told Stephen Colbert that his infamous hug with President Obama got a fierce reaction, in part, because Obama is African American. This made AlfonZo Rachel unhappy.

AlfonZo Rachel, a self-described "Christian conservative," has received more than 11,000 views, and growing,  of his six-minute video criticizing Crist for joininng the party of racism for blaming "this black guy" for ending his career as a Republican.

The video is very well done but there are some bizarre conclusions including one where Rachel says environmentalists, "put the planet before people."

Except for that slight detour the entire video takes on Crist. Rachel strongly defends the Tea Party and shows several pictures of Tea Party political stars hugging black people. He suggests that Crist joined the real racists when he became a Democrat.

While it is not likely that his video is going to have any impact on the expected race for governor between Crist and Republican incumbent Rick Scott, the video is another example that in today's political world attacks can come from surprising places.

Some excerpts:

"I wonder if Charlie Crist realizes that he's the one that he's the one who just blamed a black person for crippling his career."

"Crist be like, it's not because I actually suck, no way. My game got all messed up because of this black guy."

"Charlie Crist is trying to accuse the Republican Party of racism - meanwhile he joined the party of racism."

"Being the weeny that he is, he can't own up to the fact that he was no longer a good Republican representative and placed the blame on the black guy."

"Charlie, it's not the Tea Party that has a problem with blacks, it's you."
