“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.

I will NEVER EVER marry a Republican if I marry anyone….

The racist angle is so tiring. It is one of the only tools you have when you & your misguided minions debate. Oh yes, & name calling. Teabaggers is very offensive & you shouldn't use it if you want any creditability when defending your ideas. You would be right on one thing. When Barack Hussein Obama rose to power, it was a very disturbing thing for average Americans (asleep at the wheel, admittedly, & bloated w/ the success of capitalism), to realize the facts of who this "Grand Deceptor" truly is. What little we can find out about his past is shocking! The rest is sealed away because the truth is too disturbing for a gullible public. But the loving people in power & the corporate owned press can manipulate the dumbed down masses with great success. Divide & conquer. Create racism where there is none & ridicule & call names. That's all they've got! But it does work to their advantage! I think that this president has bad ideas because he never had to test them in the real world. He is only an academic with bad unproven theories & dangerous ideas. I would easily have voted for Herman McCain for president but then the racist card could not have been played. Imagine a debate where ideas were the focus! Wow! Now that is revolutionary! Herman is a great man & his ideas are based on very sound real world experience. Race has NEVER been in the heart of any tea partier I've ever known! If you hear it on MSNBC enough times, I guess that makes it a fact. Average people are starting to awake to your Socialist nightmare of destroying this country through Keynsian style spending. We can't borrow our way out of this. Maybe that is the point of this frustrating barrage of madness emanating from the Whitehouse. To fundamentally transform this country. The question is: Will you like what you end up with because it is going to get much more uglier.
