Sean Penn accuses Tea Party of racism
Actor calls US rightwing movement the 'Get the N-word out of the White House party' on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight

Sean Penn has become the second Oscar-winning actor to accuse America's rightwing Tea Party movement of institutional racism.

Speaking on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight on Friday, the same show upon which Morgan Freeman said the organisation was fuelled by a desire to "do whatever we do to get this black man ... outta here" last month, Penn went even further in his vilification of the political group.

"I don't think there's any doubt about it," he said. "If you ask any representative of the Tea Party, 'OK, social security, socialist, get rid of it?' they're going to get very confused. At the end of the day, there's a big bubble coming out of their heads, saying, 'Can we just lynch him?'"

Penn had earlier described the Tea Party as a "distraction" in the forthcoming US presidential elections. "You have what I call the 'Get the N-word out of the White House party', the Tea Party," he said. "This kind of sensibility, which is much more of a distraction."

many would be too afraid - to say it - that it might hurt their career - but not Sean Penn - he's a hardcore liberal badass.

2. I've been calling Birfers the "President Ni$$er" people.

Hey, the hood fits . . .

The TeaHadists are usually the same people that think any person (well, besides a corporation, that is) receiving any kind of welfare or unemployment is a lazy, system-gaming (insert racial slur here) and work from there.
