This Tea Party movement seems to be a magnet for various extreme right groups.
Why can't there be more people like you, that acknowledge that the Tea Parties have been infiltrated by establishment saboteurs like Palin, Mark Williams, etc.?

Its a racist letter written by the leader of the tea party.

Ill buy that, but that is what the tea party is now. Palin and williams are giants of the tea party. His letter in black and white says it all about tea party leadership and their true feelings

The leader or a leader?
I'm not in the Tea Party but know good folks who are including some black folks. Vets tend to keep in touch after our service is done. So are the black members in the Tea party racists?
The leader? I was under the impression that there are many different groups with no 1 leader of them all.

So those black vets agree with this letter(I am one by the way).

You laughingly call the satirical letter racist and completely miss the point. The Tea Party is not racist. It is YOUR misguided and agenda filled interpretation that is off base because you don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to the issues.

complain about Obamas policies, you're racist
want smaller government, you're racist
against illegals, you're racist

I see a pattern and it's the unwillingness of people like you to discuss the real issues. Keep it up. All it does is help the Tea Party movement.

Williams is some kind of a self-appointed chair of the California Tea Party "Express" which is different from the Tea Party. Below is a link which describes it.

California Tea Party Patriots « NO to the Tea Party Express

Here in Florida, in my area, there are accusations that the Tea Party Express is actually headed by a democrat, planting democrats to run for office. There are off-shoots of the Tea Party, some apparently intending to throw people off as to who to vote for, and some for ill intentions, as Williams.

Not even sure they know about it. I doubt they consider this man their leader though. These men that I know focus on local politics more than anything else.
Can you prove that this man is the leader of all Tea party membership?
Does Jessie Jackson represent all blacks? Is he the leader of all blacks? Or is he just the leader of one faction of the movement?
By the way thank you for your service.

Actually it's people like you who think others are too ignorant to get it. Arrogance is easily exposed.
