You are right, not all Tea Partyers are racist. I was pointing out the fact that some of Obama's critics are racially driven. That is all.There are many criticisms against Obama that are warranted. But you don't have took far in these forums to actually see racists comments against him. I remember seeing a Tea Party video where Tea Party members were being interviewed. This was during the elections before Obama became President. A few people were actually frothing at the mouth screaming Obama is worse than Hitler while a few racist comments were yelled in the background. Do I believe every criticism directed at Obama is racially driven. Of couse not. But many are.
So saying Obama is worse than Hitler is racist, but when the left said the same thing about Bush it wasn't?
Only crazy people claimed George W. Bush was worse than Hitler, and only extremists stated he was a fascist. The truth being most of us who criticized Bush & Co. did so for two reasons: The invasion and occupation of Iraq was a war of choice we did not need, and, we had zero confidence in his abilities.
Actually W. grew into the job, much too late, but he eventually closed his ears to Cheney and others whose agenda had nothing to do with Country First.
And the Tea Party group is the same.
They are just as diversified in views and you will have the crazies and extremists in both parties.
They had never protested in their entire lives so they made posters based on the ones that the left had done in the past against Bush.
It does not prove that all tea party are racists.
Of course, it has been established that, in fact, the Tea Party is not racist.
Here....let's review the fact:
"The late Andrew Breitbart founded Big Government, Big Hollywood, and Big Journalism. Andrew doggedly pursued the story behind the allegations of Reps. Andre Carson, John Lewis, Emanuel Cleaver and James Clyburn that Tea Party protesters abused black congressmen with racial epithets while demonstrating against Obamacare on Capitol Hill on March 20, 2010. The story was reported as fact by news organizations including Fox News and McClatchy News, but Breitbart called (pardon me) bullshit and exposed it as a concoction of the congressmen who peddled it.
One can say this with something approaching metaphysical certainty because of the utter lack of evidence supporting it under circumstances where there would have been such evidence had it happened as alleged. The key to the case was Breitbart’s offer of a $100,000 reward to anyone producing video of the epithets being shouted. There were no takers because it didn’t happen."
Breitbart s Big 100k Power Line
Me proving you to be a lying imbecile is getting to be a pattern, huh?
