George Allen got some interesting support yesterday, in the wake of yet another race problem for the senator, and would-be president:

Several black ministers came to his defense Monday after appearing with Allen on behalf of a proposed state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

"We're standing for his character and for his integrity," said the Rev. Martin Brown.  "We should be focusing on the issues instead of focusing on character assassination."


Let me get this straight.  The Rev. Brown will dismiss Mr. Allen's hatred of black people like himself, so the senator can "focus" on hating gay people instead.  These people deserve each other.
