Apparently this is a non-issue.....Mark Williams has been rejected by the larger Tea Party movement.\

Somehow I doubt the NAACP will reject the racist rhetoric of Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Wright, or the New Black Panther Party.

The people in this tea party movement didn't take long to turn on themselves like cannibals. I guess what's truly inside their individual souls couldn't be hidden for very long.

LOL, and they want to "take this country back"? Good lord, they can't even lead themselves for two years.

Yep. Notice the way racism is always at the heart of any teabagger contoversy. Yet they continue with their denials of the obvious.

If Mark Williams had been writing for South Park he would be ok. Libs get away with saying anything.

Or perhaps it is just the case that dumb bigots should not attempt satire?

Personally I think that he was just using the Tea Party for his own gains. I'd never heard of this man before and now he's on my local news every night this week. Many members of tea parties in my area have been on expressing how angry they are that people use their party as their own personal platforms because it takes the attention away from the real objections. I'm just so over this whole race thing....if we get screwed over as a country being black, white, or other isn't going to save you.

The problem is he is exactly the kind of person the NAACP asked the Tea Party to get rid of or at least condemn.

And they did, which is practically an admission that the NAACP was right.

Racists are just one aspect. If they expect to be taken seriously they need to wrest control of the movement from other species of kook as well.

Like Sarah Palin for instance, or Rand Paul...as long as they keep pushing people like this in front of the camera, they are going to be the subject of jokes, satire, and accusations that they pander to the extremists and bigots.

South Park writers are liberal? I've seen them take jabs at all sides of irrational hypocrisy, libs/ cons/ milquetoast middle alike. The difference between you and most is that you aren't willing to admit you're wrong about anything, at anytime, for any reason. It's forever someone else's fault, which is such a cosmic joke that those attitudes would come from self identified conservatives.

Like demented Japanese nationals convinced the sun rose and set upon their behinds justifying their plans for world domination in WW2, your ethnocentrism isn't flying with the rest of your countrymen, or the rest of the planet. Who would know more about Hitler than those who've made careers emulating? The day you end your pogrom looking to rid America of any liberal, you just might be worthy of calling yourself an American.

I think you went overboard including Rand Paul. I both disagree or agree with percentages of what he's saying, but at least he's not empty handed, poo flinging, blame game BS. He does offer some solutions. He isn't about putting a hate on America the way most of them are. He's someone who at least sees his responsibility to negotiate all sides of an argument fairly. My only criticism at this point is not caring too much for his tapdance around an issue. If something is too complicated a subject, then please sir, do take the time to explain yourself fully. Evasive is an insult to my intelligence. Give credit where due.
