What for? You are not offended by them and agree with them.
But it represents you. You agree with the signs, yet you claim it doesn't represent your movement
You should stop putting words into people's mouths as I never said I agree with them, except that I think Obama looks like a monkey due to his ears, and I said the same about Bush 43.
The signs don't offend me, but not much does, so what's your point? I'm also not black, btw, so why would it offend me anyway?
What one person does in "my movement" does not represent me, nor does it represent the movement as a whole.
Even so, what's the point? It's ONE sign out of millions of TPers.
.....who all basically think the same way. If you pride yourself on being a Tea Partier and believe that your opinions are representative of the movement then you will need to "get it" that your opinions also tend to be quite unapologetically bigoted.
The race card does not have a positive connotation as your definition would imply. It's usually an unwarranted accusation that someone is a racist. If someone is attacking Cain b/c he is a BLACK conservative, that is warranted. That is not playing the race card.

Cain was criticized because of his stupid and silly statement about all bills having to be limited to three pages if he were President! NOT because he is black. Yet Cain jumped in saying that Stewart criticized him because he is black. That's "playing the race card." No way around it. There is nothing racist about being silly and making stupid statements.
Hmmm, when a Black person has a valid complaint regarding ill treatment based on "race" or "color" and they verbalize this complaint they are immediately accused of throwing out the "race" card. But when Herman Cain does THE EXACT SAME THING, its somehow not the "race" card?
You can't have it both ways
NO, the race card is played when it is NOT a valid argument. The race card is played when there is no honest reason for whatever the issue is at hand, it's used as an excuse.
Every post she makes is a contradiction. The signs are not racist, yet don't you dare accuse the average tea partier of agreeing with them. The signs don't represent the tea party, yet as a tea partier I embrace them and agree with them.
wtf????
