The link below is from Oct. 2010 but even holds more validation with recent events.
For the past 21 months, and during this election cycle, there is an increase in hate and vitriol from groups like the Tea Party (led by Jim DeMint et al) that are directly tied to the Ku Klux Klan‘s ideology.

I posted the following on a thread started by a righthander and think is perfect for this one started by a lefthander so excuse me while act lazy and just cut ad paste:
"Here we go again, same old blame the other guy. How about this; try not adding your own blame game to pot. Yes, there are some on the left that say bad things but the reality is there are just as many on the right, get a clue. I guess some here will just never Learn, hard to do when your screaming your own brand of blame game.
Anyone else here sick and tired of the BS?"

I dont see how it does either, the link just enspouses their own view and does nothing to actually prove the tea party movement does anything like the KKK.
The Tea Party is racist, anti gay and populated by knuckle draggers, so I see the similarity to the KKK.
Various polls have probed Tea Party supporters for their views on a variety of political and controversial issues. A University of Washington poll of 1,695 registered voters in the State of Washington reported that 73% of Tea Party supporters disapprove of Obama's policy of engaging with Muslim countries, 88% approve of the controversial immigration law recently enacted in Arizona, 82% do not believe that gay and lesbian couples should have the legal right to marry, and that about 52% believed that "lesbians and gays have too much political power."
Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams referred to Allah as a "Monkey God"
"Illegals everywhere today! So many spics makes me feel like a speck. Grrr. Wheres my gun!?" ...Tea Party founder Sonny Thomas
A photo was taken of TeaParty.org founder and president Dale Robertson with a sign that said "Congress = Slaveowner, Taxpayer = *****r." (forum filter won't allow the n word)
At a rally at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Several black lawmakers said that demonstrators shouted "******" at them. Congressman Emanuel Cleaver said he heard the slurs and was spat upon. Congressman Barney Frank, who is gay, was called a "******." (or the f word that is a slur of homosexual)
Sure sounds like the Klan to me.
Well said and I agree. I think the tea party is even far more dangerous than the KKK

ALL Communists think that way, so you're not alone!
