Not at all. There are PLENTY of posts here on C-D alleging that the Tea Party is right-wing extremist. You'd have to be blind to have not seen them.

You might want to read up on some of my past posts about the tea parties. I've always been very generous to the group. So save your overblown rhetoric for someone else.
Overblown rhetoric? No. It applies to many C-D posters... all who falsely and rather uninformedly 'claimed' that the Tea Party is right-wing extremist.

Let's repeat the FACT: 4 in 10 Tea Party members are NOT Republicans.

One or two racist signs?
Did you hear members being interviewed?
It's a movement of hatred, not change.
The whole TP meme seems to be: *********, but don't touch mine.

You will have to go to the Coffee party for the uneducated. Poll after poll has shown the Trea Party is better educated and informed than the sheep on the left.

Instead, you choose to side with and legitimize racist Democrats. How sad.

So, this is a rubber/glue situation now? I call the TP racist, so you call Dems racist? Classy, very classy argument.

But w/e I still hate everything about the Tea Party and the Repuglicans.

The stone was the YT clip by the way. To disprove me, you happened to find a young black women [a threefer minortiy there] to say, "no the TP isn't racist and is chock full of young people..."

The only thing it's chock full of is nuts.

I didn't hear Cedra say that in the video. Perhaps it is you who is nuts? Here's the video. Where does she say, "no the TP isn't racist and is chock full of young people..."?

As far as the "a young black woman," there are more candidates endorsed by the Tea Party listed in this C-D thread:
Does the Tea Party support any black candidates?

The Tea Party supports and endorses numerous black candidates AND 40% of Tea Party members are NOT Republican. It's a shame you don't support and endorse such diversity.

Maybe they can teach the NAACP what diversity means.

I wonder how many black conservatives the SEIU thugs will "accidentally" beat up this time.

I wish the TP well. I don't think the NAACP has honorable motives. The TP may indeed end up proving it is stupid by kowtowing to them.
