If the influence and pandering to fundamentalism bothers you as regards the right, then it would be fair-minded of you to be equally distressed at the relationship of Black churches to the Democratic Party and vice versa.

It would not be fair-minded to be equally distressed with the Black church/Democrat issue. There is a major quantitative difference between evangelical religious power and black church religious power. It would be hypocritical to completely dismiss the latter and attack the former, but assuredly there is no one-to-one comparison here.
