I hear the argument that there is no evidence of racist tea partiers

Yet a simple google search turns this up.

appletree » Blog Archive » The teabaggers are not the least bit racist


I'm in a biracial family so it doesn't bother me much. I just wanted to share that though. I think we can all throw the "there are no racist Tea Partiers" argument out the window..

Yes I know there are a few Black Tea Partiers, and Yes I know there are Black Racists too. I just wanted to post this. Cause so many people are blind to the people they hang out with.

The Oven one wasnt really racist but it was a stupid sign. The others, werent racist. Just because they arent politically correct, doesnt make them racist. And if you do find a few signs that are actually racist, that is suppose to represent the thousands of people who go to these functions?

This is the best you and the NAACP have on these racist allegations? Let me know when something really comes up on painting this movement racist. We've been hearing this for over a year and pretty much every accusation lacks any evidence that leads to anything.

The Tea Party had thousands out and about the whole year last year, and there is no evidence that they are racist....because the majority arent. Such a large group of random people joining together, and theyve done so peacefully every damn time. Yet you have groups like NAACP and the Black Panthers, much smaller groups, and its VERY EASY to find evidence of their racism. Yet who are the media and politicians focused on? The Tea Party. What an upside down world we live in.

A very very small number of people who attend Tea Party events (but they might not necessarily be Tea Party people) are racist.

A large majority of Democrats and people who join the NAACP, Black Panthers, LA Raza, and Mecha are racist.

Did you make up the word all by yourself?

Get back to reality there meson. You have the most powerful in the country, the media, and the politicians crying "racism" on the Tea Party for over a year. And theyve been digging and hoping and praying for some thing to finally show up to make the Tea Party appear racist. Yet theyve come up with nothing. A few nuts with some signs. Some edited tv footage of a man with a gun (pssst, MSNBC, we know it was a black man and not a white guy like you were hinting at).

The favorite play in the liberal play book is the race card. It use to never fail, but youve used it so much over the last decade that you hurt real incidents of racism. Its like the boy who cried woof, except in this case, its the liberals who cry racism. You all should be ashamed of yourselves, and Im very serious when I say that.

Pretty mild signs compared to King Samir 'Kill the crackers and their babies' Shabazz, no?

Wasnt there a $10k or more reward for that? Geee, I think someone wouldve coughed up this ALLEGED footage if it existed. Heck, I support the Tea Party for the most part, and Id give up footage if I had it for $10k.

Keep on fishing lefties, im sure youll run into a couple nuts or so that you can use to paint thousands as racist.

I never heard the argument there are no individual racists in the TP.

I heard the argument that there is no evidence that the Tea Party Movement is racist. It might do you some good to peruse TP websites rather than passing judgment from a few signs posted on a personal blog site.

No offense, but I think it would be wise to do more research than a simple google search. You might learn that not all folks showing up at events are TP members.

That is bigoted, but not racist. There's a difference. I don't condone the bigotry either, BTW.

Is there a group that is immune to racists?
