One of the ten original tea party founders admits to the groups racism.

[Wry Catcher]

The Tea Party is a subset of the Radical Right which mostly supports far right wing Republicans, its membership is fully influenced by the special interests (NRA, RW Religious orders, Freedom Works and especially self serving snake oil salesmen like Phil Gramm, recently deposed) and funded by the Koch Brother's whose largess created the Heritage Foundation and Americans for Prosperity.

Thus we see Plutocracy in its finest - the nearly all white, mostly overweight, middle aged and middle class who dress in 17th Century Garb and pretend to be patriots, who collectively spout the propaganda fed to them by the RW Media and 'think' tanks.

Would you agree that MOST union leadership and most rank and file members are Democrats.. Most, yes, but a fair share are registered and vote for Republicans. This is especiallay apparent in LE Agencies and Fire Firghter Unions. especially when you consider that:
unions report to the Federal Election Commission and to Congress, totaled $1.1 billion from 2005 through 2011, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. The unions' reports to the Labor Department capture an additional $3.3 billion that unions spent over the same period on political activity.
In 2008, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Labor unions were responsible for $75 million in political donations,
with 92% going to Democrats..Political Spending by Unions Far Exceeds Direct Donations - WSJ.com

So you would agree Unions donate and vote overwhelmingly for Democrats!
Unions don't vote, people do (though Romney believes Corporations are people too)
NOW what kind of influence do you think the MSM puts out when: Who owns the MSM?
The Democratic total of $1,020,816 was given by 1,160 employees (85% of the employees!!!) of the three major broadcast television networks, with an average contribution of $880.
By contrast, only 193 of the employees contributed to Republican candidates and campaign committees, for a total of $142,863.
The average Republican contribution was $744.
Obama, Democrats got 88 percent of 2008 contributions by TV network execs, writers, reporters | The Daily Caller

So why is it hard for you and others to agree the MSM is overwhelmingly supportive of Democrats/Obama?

And if you are truly honest you would have to say MOST of your information comes from the MSM!

If that is the case and the FACTS are proof.. do you really think you are getting accurate,honest and objective news which forms your opinion which drives the politicians?

Define MSM? Then, tell us where you get your information.

I read Time each week, and several newspapers on-line (Wash. Post; SF Chronicle, Kansas City
Star; Houston Chronicle, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Seattle Times) not each everyday; I watch MSNBC and The News Hour (PBS) and never miss Science Friday on NPR. I also watch either CBS or ABC national news. At 10 PM I watch Channel 2 News, the Fox Affiliate in the SF Bay Area.

PS I forget to add The Christian Science Monitor on-line too.

As far as I know, the Tea Party isn't dead. This little hit piece is from NBC, who has as of late not had a good track record of telling the truth.

And if they were indeed dead, why would the headline in this CBS article refer to them as "recharged"?

Recharged tea party demands justice in IRS targeting scandal - CBS News

I noticed you didn't address the MAIN theme here. He admits the tea party is racist and he left the group because of it. I don't care if they are dead or recharged. They are racist.

One man's perception and he is entitled to his opinion regardless of how wrong it is. The tea party has to do with small government and fiscal responsibility. Go to any tea party webpage and read their mission statements.

Well, can't vouch for something they aren't, and something that I don't espouse to be. That is why I never mentioned "racism." Because there isn't any.

 

[Truthmatters]

the vast majority of people of color see the tea party as racists.

 

[Zarius]

Treasonous actions of our government? Do you think before you post?

Target groups for IRS persecution because of their political orientation is treasonous.

Has any of the Republicans apologized for attacking ACORN, Planned Paerenthood or Unions for their political views?

They never will. They don't consider these groups as equal citizens.

Who do you tea party people think you are. WE as the target of your little movement get to decide what you are and why. I sure the NAZIs would claim that they were in the right but the Jewish people get to say other wise. You don't get to decide for Minorities tea party. I know you think you control everything but you don't.

You just hate the idea of Obama and the pride it brought to people you hate. Stop lying .

Absolutely, your problem is you don't. You're too selfish and partisan.

And you're different how?

 

[Stephanie]

Oh my......did you mistake me for a tea partier simply because I spoke the truth? I dislike Obama for the same reason I disliked Bush. I don't think either of them were very good presidents. Now, do you assume I didn't like Bush because he was white? You're quite the racist aren't you with your ideas that everything hinges on color. Obama is an ineffectual leader with really bad ideas. End of story.

He's a damn race baiter and one hateful sob

So a man can't have a opinion(based on fact in many cases) to be around good respectable people in this country any longer? I'm not saying that blacks in general aren't good respectable people, but a hell of a lot of them either don't accept the tea party's ideal's, or are just people that wish to cause problems.

They're welcome as far as I'm concern as long as they believe in personal freedom and aren't going to pull out the gun. I'm not going to cover for this guy, but will say that he may not be without a point.

1. The tea party has as much right to think what ever the fuck they want as anyone. lol.
2. Think what you want.
3. Well, that depends on what side you were on. Prospective is in the eye of the beholder!!!
4. Minorities can be within the tea party. They're welcomed.
5. You can hate whites for raising our children to succeed. You're as blind as the worse racist imaginable. Close minded idiot.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Target groups for IRS persecution because of their political orientation is treasonous.

Has any of the Republicans apologized for attacking ACORN, Planned Paerenthood or Unions for their political views?

They never will. They don't consider these groups as equal citizens.

When did government programs become citizens? lol

 

[whitehall]

Phil Russo thought the Tea Party would support marijuana use and they didn't so he calls them hypocrites. No surprises here. I doubt if it's going to gt him another hundred listeners and double his audience either.

 

[Obamanation]

What is it the lefties like to say about everything their leader does?

Oh yeah, "nothing to see here! Move along now!"!!!

 

[Truthseeker420]

The IRS is part of the federal government. It is legally bound to avoid taking political issues into consideration when it audits any group or person. The Republican party has no such obligation.

The legislative branch is obligated to follow the law. The political witch hunt of Republicans on both the federal and state level is disgusting.

what a joke

 

[JakeStarkey]

The tea party concerns itself with fiscal matters only.

Better tell that to the Tea Party folks who engage in racism.

 

[JakeStarkey]

].. this is just another example of taking one unsupported thing from an opinion article and attributed as blanket proof about the group

Yup, just what the reactionaries and social traditionalists try everyday and fail at so poorly.
