Some have come out in favor of White Pride and wear it like a badge of honor. If that isn't racist, I don't know what is.
So you're saying the Tea Party movement isn't racist but a few of the members seem to be in your opinion? Would that be a fair statement?

At this point many people are getting together because they want to be part of something, political ideologies aren't important. When idiots get together nothing good comes from it.

Apparently some people here have forgotten just how many times they blindly attacked the Tea Party and it's supporters over the last year or 2 but now those same people are upset that people are attacking the OWS protest and it's supporters. Why are CD liberals soooooo hypocritical?

Tea party supporters on here defended the racist signs at the tea party rallies, I haven't seen one liberal on here defend the alleged racism at the OWS rallies.

Not every tea partier is a racist redneck, but it sure has many defenders in the movement.

i've been having the same argument with my liberal family members and they can not or will not give a straight answer. It's deflection and run arounds like you are seeing on this thread.

The honest answer is that whats good for the goose is NOT good for the gander. I'm beginning to see it's wasted breath, because hypocrites will never ever admit to their hypocrosy, period!

It's frustrating to say the least!

There's that buzzword "vile" again!

Hacks infiltrate peaceful tea party protests: the tea party kicks them out (many instances caught on video), but they are still portrayed as racists and terrorists.

OCCUPY WALL STREET
Number of Days: 40
Number of Arrests: 2511
Number of Arrests per Day: 62
Number of Public Defecations: 1
Number of Rapes: 4
Cost to Taxpayers: $3.2 Million (in New York alone)'

TEA PARTY
Number of Days: 984
Number of Arrests: 0
Number of Arrests per Day: 0
Number of Public Defecations: 0
Number of Rapes: 0
Cost to Taxpayers: $0.00. <<<The tax payers actually made money from the permits tea partys bought. Up to $25,000 for a single permit.

The OWS crowd intend to suck funds out of Joe Taxpayer one way or another
Except that zero arrests thingie has been debunked. Do a search.

I'm sure not every OWSer is a racist, violent, sexual abuser, rapist, anarchist but it sure has many defenders in the movement.

Now show me where people have defended the racist signs seen at the Tea Party events.
