The Tea Party Movement Isn't About Racism? Read this...

The Tea Party movement is not about Sarah Palin: most Tea Baggers, while they love her inflammatory rhetoric, think she's unqualified to be president. The movement is not about taxes: most think the amount they pay is fair. And Tea Baggers really aren't angry about big government either: most love their Social Security and Medicare and wouldn't want to lose it. These and other unsurprising revelations are part of a NY Times poll released this week which reinforces the ugly truth about the role racism plays in the Tea Party movement.

Contrary to how the movement is portrayed as a non-partisan, multicultural, age/gender-diverse "big tent," most Tea Baggers are wealthy, white Republican males over 45, according to the poll. The poll chillingly illustrates what's really at the core of the movement: intense frustration, anger and resentment over the belief that a black president is giving taxpayer handouts to other blacks. In fact, 25% believe the Obama administration favors blacks over whites. As the Times reports, they believe that "too much has been made of the problems facing black people."

She started mouthing off about Obama and Patrick Deval being two of a kind, neither doing anything just robbing "us" blind. I got up rather abruptly and said, "You know, I'm tired of listening to your racist bullshit" and I walked out. A few minutes later she apologized, but only because she is running for one of our association positions and needs my vote. Fuck her. I just won't vote for her at all. (She's running un-opposed)

:rofl:

The meeting was a rough one, filled with hatred and anger and bullying. I'm sick of it.

meet with. Is she the one that was sitting at the end of the table in that last batch of pics you posted? Mean looking lady was she if it's the same one.

I try not to get into liberal vs conservative here because there is a mix of everything and we are all trying to work together to get rid of the lady you speak of. But when they cross the line and start bashing Obama and Deval, I have to speak up.

The racism running rampant through their movement is obvious to anyone going to their rallies or listening to them speak.

Catch this jewel of a black guy raping liberty

like the Civil War was not about slavery.

surprised.

Who has been given a handout by Obama? Surely they're not categorizing tax cuts as handouts.

:hi:
