But a hand full of people holding racially suggestive signs years ago proves that everyone in the Tea Party is a KKK supporting racist?

It seems like every day we get a new video of something happening at an OWS protest that shows extremely bad judgement and illegal activity by OWS supporters. We've all ready the reports of people being raped in tents by strangers, people ranting against Jews, people stealing expensive electronics, people hurling rocks and bottles at police, people ignoring laws which are meant to protect public property, people defacing public property, etc etc etc. Why do liberals automatically attempt to make it seem like those are non-existent instances that in no way represent the OWS movement as a whole but the minute you saw someone holding a sign at a Tea Party protest with a photo of Obama with a bone in his nose you instantly labeled every single person who's ever even thought about supporting the Tea Party a racist bigot?

Please explain this gross lack of logic on the part of liberals, especially those here on CD. To me it seems pretty clear that you're now dealing with the exact same treatment you dished out to the Tea Party supporters and you don't like it one bit...

Before you go crazy and attack me personally because you don't like my message, please save your time.

If you intend to deny that these things have taken place at OWS events all over this country, please don't waste your time in here because I'll start posting video after video that proves you wrong.

Maybe some liberals here need a refresher course on the OWS movement...

And clearly the same rule would apply to the Tea Party supporters right?

It's probably because the OWS folks are happy to denounce racists or anti-Semites that appear in their ranks, but Tea Partiers first ignore the obvious racists in their ranks, and then threw a fit when groups like the NAACP asked them to toss the obvious racists out.

Prove what you're saying because that's not true of anything I've ever seen in any Tea Party event I've been around... and I've been around a lot of them.

Here's a great video showing the gross ignorance of the OWS supporters.

Of course.

Clearly you should know better than to employ this tactic.
