Not defensive at all, and it isn't apples and oranges, it applying your faulty logic the the last Presidential election.

No, the difference is that the Republican party never would have had a person of color as their nominee. EVER!

Default African-American GOP Front Runner Admits Racism in Opposing Obama

If Cain makes the pledge to deliver free lifetime pizzas, he'll have my vote in the GOP primary.

Debunked by whom? Everyone still knows that the Tea Party ilk tend to be racist. The only ones in denial are the Tea Party members themselves (which happens to be a mere shadow of its former anti-Obama pitchfork mob self)

Well that is simply silly. If Condi Rice ever decided to run she would easily win the nomination. Again your logic is faulty. Should we conclude the Dems would NEVER elect a women because Hillary didn't get the nomination?

Everyone knows? I see so that is you evidence that they are racist, you should have said that before. It is rare to come across such compelling evidence.

How many "Tea Party" politicians are Republicans as opposed to Democrat?

How many Democratic Party U.S Senators or Congressperson have the support of the Tea Party can you name?

Don't hold your breath trying to put a list together.

Lol, if they are tea party politicians, they aren't Republicans.

Are you suggesting Dems are socialists because they support Bernie Sanders?
