"Tea Party" is just a prettied up Klan Rally
"Tea Party" members are just out of touch angry white voters who are under the delusion that if they throw a big enough tantrum somehow they will their way.



Pathetic people living pathetic lives.

1. Look, the racism charge is so overused and will become the new Godwin's Law, and using it means
you've lost the debate and have nothing else to say except name calling.

6. The racism is proven. Acorn stealing elections is not.
Somebody has to prove themselves, and it's not us.

10. Pointing out racism where there is racism is fine. Are you saying
Tea Partyers are not white? Are not racist? Or just that we shouldn't point out the racism because then "you've lost the debate and have nothing else to say except name calling"?

11. I think you are right there
Klan, Nativists, Know-nothings.... we seem to have that element with us always. And funny how God is always "on their side", and they have to "take back their country" (from whom?, since we took it in the first place).

12. Your attitude is the reason there is a Tea Party in the first place.
Working class people, regardless of political positions, getting screwed can either come to folks like you and be told how pathetic and stupid they are compared to you in your infinite elitism....

...or they can be sucked in by the message of people who tell them that the establishment system that looks down its nose at them and mocks them is the problem and that its time for a popular revolt.

I'm not surprised which way many people choose.
