I blame that on the media and people being too lazy to inform themselves. I know several people who saw those one or two racist signs and equated that to hundreds of people marching around with racist signs...but I think that's what the media intended my looping that same 3 second clip over and over again.

of course you did because you and many others were waging on how the tea party hates the left, the democrats and never acknowledge that the tea baggers were from all walks.

its been said over and over but guess what thread after thread after thread made by so called tea party supporters bashing democrats of who in fact are in the tea party as well but the tea party is still a conservative movement to the masses and by most right wingers, and most dont acknowledge democrats being in the tea party

then you cant help but seeing republican politicians grab the crotch of the tea party movement and then to some people it becomes fact that the tea party is republican based. maybe it is, republicans strategy was too take the tea party into their fold

imagine being a tea bagger and your shouting your remarks about democrats and there's a democrat tea party supporter next to you...theres actually people like that and all tea party groups/factions arent mutually the same

"In the wake of the NAACP's passage of a resolution condemning racism in the Tea Party movement, a Tea Party group is holding a "Uni-Tea" convention celebrating the diversity of the movement."

Sometimes i feel that Obama feels that he is a Celebrity, that status that Hollywood and the Media have given him name to. Of course, normal rational people are so very tired of the way out of control spending, that was not suppose to happen.

Attacks on the Tea Party are nothing more than Baptism by fire, whatever doesn't kill em will make em stronger.

To that end, I think the NAACP and all the other haters will only make the movement better, so hate away.

I'm sure you wish this were so. But, with a common Democratic Party agenda from the liberal media, maybe they can lie, omit and distort enough to make it come true for you.
