So what is your eveidence that the Tea Party is composed of 'white supremacists?' When you make an accusation like this don't you need evidence? Or are you a 'verdict first, trial later' kind of guy?

Keep in mind that you can probably find handfuls of racists in any large politcal faction. I have posted here many times blatantly racist statements from Dems like Rep Danny K Davis and Spike Lee. Do you therefore classify the Democratic Party as one of the "racist groups" that you say you recognize?

The only reason they started calling themselves the tea party to begin with was because in 2008 the Republican brand name was worthless. It was never the less all the exact same Republican insiders and lobbying groups doing the exact same garbage they always did but 10 times more shrill. The racism and the stupidity were identical though brought a bit more forwarded.

It's my duty to say 'good' and that I welcome the outreach.

If the Tea Party has something to say, I'll listen.

utter drivel. You're just throwing out broad-brush claims and accusations while providing ZERO evidence to back them up.

So you have an objective criteria for evaluating groups to determine whether or not a group is a) racist, or b) not racist?

Please explain how the Tea Party Movement and/or specific tea party organizations can be determined to be racist using your specific objective standards.

Can a Tea Party member help me out here? I'm trying to find a single person of color in any of these crowd shots and it's like playing "Where's Waldo." Can you point one out to me? M'kay thanks!

In case you havent noticed were on the path to bankruptcy and on the road to serfdom...

The math isn't hard...

Once again we have the baseless and indefensible accusation of racist motivations being leveled against organizations that have advocated restraining the growth and spending of government and precious little else.

The reason those who make these accusations don't stick around to defend their charges is for the same reason they make them in the first place.

Their is no debate to be had with organizations that advocate responsible spending and taxation.

If Tea Party opponents could argue logically for increased deficit spending, they would do so, but since they cannot, we are instead debating the character of those opposing deficit spending.

The federal government is in the business of stealing from future generations for the benefit of their clients on both the left and the right and this must end.
