The reason why the Tea Party is called racist is because:
A. The large number of racist signs and comments from Tea Party organizers and protesters; both are well documented.
B. Numerous racist organizations have not only sought out Tea Parties for recruitment purposes, but have even hosted and or spoken at Tea Party events. In particular I am referring to a White Supremacist organization known as American Third Position or A3P. Now to some extent Tea Partiers can’t help if racist organizations infiltrate and attempt to recruit people. But you have to ask yourself, “why are they flocking to this movement? Why aren’t they trying to infiltrate, say, Code Pink?”
Lastly, I have been a critic of Obama since before he was even elected, and yet nobody calls me racist. Could it be that the secret lies within the fact that my criticism of Obama is very obviously consistent, meaning I apply the same standards to Bush, Clinton, Reagan, etc.? Could it also be that my criticisms are also clearly based on his real, verified actions and policies?
The Tea Party is called racist because it’s the standard fallback in lieue of a tenable counterposition.
A. If you’d just leave your basement long enough to attend a Tea Party, you wouldn’t have to rely on the propaganda that you call “documentation” to stereotype what is actually a vast and diverse group of people with a single common interest: individual sovereignty over tyranny (you know, we used to call it “America”)
B. So, by “Numerous racist organizations” you mean one obscure group that noone’s heard of? How bout the KKK? They didn’t claim to be democrats…. they were actually created by the democrats… is that enough for you to declare the Democrat Party racist? No? Not as objective and free-thinking as you thought you were, are you?
… Code PInk? I’m guessing even A3P has some standards…
Could it be that nobody calls you racist because nobody gives a crap what you say? People are called names by the juvenile liberals when all of their standard hogwash has been eliminated with logic and they feel a need to shut down any further discussion before they are conclusively exposed as mindless sheep.
I am an “argue on the issues” kinda person. I also have been pretty vocal in my frustration with previous administrations for their obvious violations of the very document they are sworn to uphold.
I had never been called a racist until I began to question and criticize Obama and his administration. I have no Tea Party affiliation,I just totally disagree with Obama about…well,just about everything.
I am stay home mom and non traditional college student. I have taken classes off and on for about 12 years. The reason that information is relevant to my point is that I have never experienced the kind of hostility and racial tension in a classroom setting as I have over the past 3 years.
It is really,really bad.
Ruslan Amirkhanov, just because you say something is well documented doesn’t make it so. I am in the Tea Party. There isn’t a racist in the bunch. I have never seen a racist sign that was held by a Tea Party member. If you’ve got proof, bring it. Otherwise, you are the racist, and it’s true because I say it.
Let me just point out one other, separate thing. This video fails because it assumes that these people are all “liberals”(don’t get me wrong, many are), that they always supported Obama, that they called every Tea Partier racist, etc. You are making all kinds of assumptions about their motives, and it’s very clear that you folks don’t spend much time communicating with these people.
Indeed, many liberals, particularly those who were liberal all their life, do misjudge conservatives in the same way, and it destroys any foundation for political discourse. I on the other hand was raised hardcore conservative, and I also have a lot of personal knowledge dealing with various fringe groups on the right, such as the JBS. I know how most of these people are not consciously racist, and they really have disdain for overtly racist ideas or comments. But one’s personal intentions don’t always matter when we deal with racism. A lot of times people think what they believe is fair, just, and totally fine for anyone, when in fact it could be deeply offensive or patronizing to people of other races.
Rus, the racism charges are misdirection and propaganda. The Racers hurling the charges are still stuck in a 60′s mindset of identity politics and hope a fraction of black americans get scared. First, Oblamer is not anymore black than he is white. He is mulatto. I too am mixed blood as is my friends and family. None of us like Oblamer. My blind friends do not like Oblamer. He demeans Americans on a regular basis. We could label Anti-Bush people as “Anti-Christian Bigots’. We choose not too and take a more mature and fair approach. A “hardcore” American conservative would be one who is bound to the constitution and limited govement. JBS has an emotional intolerance. That is not really a conservative.
I couldn’t help but notice that my last post appeared, but the one before that, which was much longer and full of links to the evidence Mr. Spears asked for didn’t. I’m sure that is just a coincidence. But in case it isn’t I’m also sure that Mr. Spears is very concerned about racism within the Tea Party movement, and will probably do his own inquiry into the matter by typing various keywords into Google such as:
A3P + Tea Party, White Nationalists + Tea Party, Racist Tea Party signs, and so on. I’m also sure that he won’t automatically dismiss these reports and photos with conspiracy theory claims of “liberal infiltrators” and other such nonsense.
Also, my offer still stands for Scott. Pick a year, when America was “America” as it “used to be.” Then we’ll examine the economic factors, the tax rates, government spending, civil rights, government intervention, and so on. It will be lots of fun, and very educational.
Just one more thing Jim, a tip that will help you break free of conservatism some day. You see this:
“Ruslan Amirkhanov, just because you say something is well documented doesn’t make it so. I am in the Tea Party. There isn’t a racist in the bunch. I have never seen a racist sign that was held by a Tea Party member. ”
Actually when something is well documented(for some reason my post with the links didn’t appear, which could very well be an overzealous spam-filter for all I know), it usually probably is so. By contrast, when someone says, “I saw this, and I didn’t see that,” it may be so for them but is probably not true on a larger scale. That’s precisely why we shouldn’t accept various medicines and remedies based on “I tried it and it worked for me.” That’s anecdotal evidence.
Rus,
There is not a doubt in my mind that someone with a camera and an agenda has managed to document racist signs at a tea party rally. It has also been documented that at least some of these people were liberals trying to infiltrate the movement. Now, if racism is so prevalent within the tea party, why would such a thing be necessary?
You are hilarious! I love how you expose hypocrisy.
What am I, a hologram? Ha! And the lady who took it upon herself to educate you on the meaning of raison d’etre? Telling her she’d reeled out a really long website name was comedy gold.
Any chance you’ll find yourself at an “occupation” soon?

The reason racists don’t go after liberal organizations is the same reason the Devil doesn’t go after lost people. He already has them.
NONE OF ANYTHING YOU’VE SAID HAS BEEN “DOCUMENTED”.. STOP LYING. AND STOP WATCHING THE PROPAGANDA ON MSNBC

Oh man, I spit my coffee out when he jumped out of that bush. I love you Mr. Rachel!
