His Behindness, Homophobic Bigot "Apostle" Alton R. Williams (World Overcomers)
Rep. Steve Cohen Meets with Black Ministers Over Hate Crime Bill and was viciously attacked by a group of anti-gay, RACIST, bigots. The Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association, a group of 100 black ministers, have been using Cohen's support for the Hate Crime Bill which includes sexual orientation to argue that he cannot represent blacks. "He's not black and he can't represent me," said Rev. Robert Poindexter of Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. "Apostle" Alton R. Williams (World Overcomers) said, "The real motivation...is about getting laws passed that will federally protect gays and lesbians." That is the real issue is not "freedom of speech" or "freedom of religion," it is that these racist bigots do not want a white person representing them and they do not want gays and lesbians to have the same civl rights they have. LaSimba Gray, past of New Sardis Baptist Church, said they were offended by suggestions that the black and gay communities are somehow connected. Well, we are connected, we are human beings and we have suffered as a group from prejudice, bigotry and discrimination. In MLK's words, injustice against any of us is an injustice against all of us. I guess these "ministers" did not understand the MLK's message.

The photoshop opportunities with that pic are sending me into laughing fits.
I believe that the preachers' opposition to Cohen has nothing to do with hate crimes or race. It's all about the money. Nikki Tinker's employer has already provided free airfare for the preachers. I wonder what other perks she has promised them. Steve Cohen will not play those corrupt games, so they want him out. If you won't line their pockets, they won't tell their congregation to vote for you.
These preachers are also linked with the American Family Association and other right-wing extremist groups. I believe they have been bought out by "the man." Just do a quick Google search on "Nikki Tinker contributers." A great many of those supporters are Republicans. They know that only a Democrat can be elected in District 9, so they want the weakest and least effective one to win that seat.
