Lock and load...
A) The Tea Party is a grassroots loosely knit organization that is not the Republican Party

B) The Tea Party isn't about gun control

C) Someone wearing a 3 cornered colonial hat is merely representing the Founding Father's protest against taxation without representation

D) There is no moral equivalency between wearing a three cornered hat and a button that says "Vote Black"

So to you pointing out racism by those you oppose is racism? Perhaps you need to broaden your curriculum as a student to truly begin to see the truth in life.

Obama is not black. BLACK is a state of mind...I remember as a Canadian kid - who lived for a year in Oakland..I was as white as could be...I had no idea I was not supposed to be in that hood...One day I was sitting in a bar and an old black man - leaned over to me and glared...then he asked me a question - "Are you BLACK?" - I thought about it...and said - "Yes - *I am black".....Even though I was blonde and blue eyed...The old man knew I was black on the inside...

He unders Ttood by my response I did not like or appreciate oppressors. BLACK is about justice...about a fair playing field- about opportunity- Those who oppress and use other human beings don't care what your skin shade is..They will screw everyone equally.

OBAMA - Works for the rich and powerful...those who have lost touch with America and only see it as a dying carcass to be fed on ....Vultures are ruling the roost. To vote for someone based on skin is utterly suicidal, socially and economically. The days of black and white division are over- Don't get sucked into this dated partisan rhetoric.

Vote for the person that will serve YOU...The last real black man was Martin Luther King Jr...This man was a saint..who understood oppression and persecution...Obama is just some rich white lawyer who will continue to maintain the status quo..That is what I see...so far he has done NOTHING for " blacks"................He views them as inferior....Time to use your mind and not your racist emotion.

Because of the dem national leaders stance on American business and taxation of businesses. Remember, if you don't support Obama you are in line to be punished for individual thinking.

Those of you who have never heard the saying "once you go black you never go back" must be in a la-la land and those of you who do know of the saying must be fuming over the sexual overtones of the original message and don't want that message ignited in the minds of the populace, or you are just REALLY silly to think that is racist. LOL, no one said on the button "I'm black and I vote black cause I hate white people!" LOL at you all.
I agree with you on this. How funny would it be to have a picture of this person from the front...and it be either hot blond white female...or a white gay guy!

And if you are to believe their narrative, all those millions of White people who voted for Obama in 2008 who are now voting for Romney suddenly turned into racists and bigots in 3+ years time!
Good thing you smacked yourself in the head, I'm actually an Independent.

Another fail.

You can't be serious. One idiot wearing an ignorant campaign button does not equal or speak for an entire population of people.

And there still are the same threads re-hashed with vitriol. Over and over. No mention of their candidate Willard, and what he represents.

Because if everyone knew Romneys agenda, they would be truly appalled.

GOP=fear and smear tactics, business as usual.

A) True. They are not the republican party. They want to take over the republican party. That's because they know the Democrats are too smart to give them the time of day.

B) I don't think they have any control over anything they do, especially the spelling of words on their signs.

C) Then they are certifiably loony. You have representation, unless you didn't vote. "Taxation without representation" was about England imposing taxes on the Colonies even though they could not send a representative to Parliament. They should have paid attention in the fifth grade. Then again, maybe they didn't get that far...

D) Moral, I dunnno. But both are decidedly ignorant and proud of it.
