According to Sourcewatch, Rooney was the driving force behind a prominent black conservative group, People of Color United, which ran ads on African-American radio stations bashing Kerry in 2004.

Rooney is proud of his leadership position in the all-black church he attends, telling the Washington post "They finally elected me over other black people to their church board."
