“Not all conservatives are racist.
But all racists are conservative.”
What is it that sets the Tea Party apart from the Grand Old Republican Party? Aside from the fact you’d be hard pressed to find a minority face among its membership, once you strip away all of their rage, loud yelling at rallies and constant contradictions, all that’s left is race. Yes, friends, the Tea Party is primarily about race, motivated by bigotry, ignorance and racial hatred.
A bit of a history lesson: The Tea Party really got its start once Barack Obama declared his candidacy for President of the United States. Until then they didn’t exist. Remember all those McCain – Palin rallies where attendees often referred to Barack “Hussein” Obama in their attempt to label him a Muslim? Or the birthers movement to label him a non-American and therefore ineligible to be President? What about all the rallies where “Traitor!” “Terrorist!” “Kill him!” were shouted freely and openly toward Mr. Obama?
Indeed, the Tea Party is a racist movement; bolstered by Rush Limbaugh on talk radio, Glen Beck on television, and the visual aids of Barack Obama as a Witch-Doctor, Michelle Obama as a primate, and Watermelons on the south lawn as a reminder that America has let BLACK people into the WHITE House. They are mad as hell and have allowed their racist thinking to propel their every move.
At the recent Tea Party convention, ‘teabaggers’ reveled as they sat listening to one hateful speech after another by the likes of their champions Tom Tancredo, Sarah Palin and others. Their rhetoric and vitriol was all too familiar:
- “President Obama wants to turn the country into a third world country.”
- “Immigrants are taking over the United States, they must be sent to where they came from”
- “This is our nation and we should take it back”
- “Make English America’s official language”
- “Congress loves Illegals”
To the chants of “Take Our Nation Back,” the “teabaggers” openly played their hand of incoherent intolerance and racism. Make no bones about it, the Tea Party is the radical half-sister of the GOP. It is an extension of talk radio, Fox News Channel, the southern faction of the Republican Party, and the race-baiting racism evident in all of those conservative circles.
