I'm not saying 100% of tea fartiers are white men. I'm saying about 90% of tea fartiers are white men, and that it's simply a lie to say that the tea farty is largely made up of people of other races and genders.

That's just more made up shit from you.....which btw makes you the liar.

I think that you're the one asserting the tea farty is diverse. So give us a poll or something showing the tea farty is made up of a diverse group of different races, religions, political preferences, sexual orientations, and genders.

Prove it, give an example, a link, a clue as to how you surmise that those who want smaller federal government miss slavery, or are sympathetic to Byrd's old club; the KKK, etc. Sorry, but that post was nothing but an ill informed, wishful rant.

Keep denying the political success (reality) of the Tea Party movement.

Show us evidence they aren't welcomed? I've gone to a few gatherings, heard quiet a few black speakers and one hell on wheels Vietnamese fellow. I'm hoping that you are pushing the party propaganda, which is understandable, but I really hope you're smart enough not to believe it. Sorry, but most of the non-leftists out there prefer the vision of Martin Luther King Jr. (a life long republican) of "erasing the color line" rather than attributing each and every event to "race".

You misread my post. I'm saying the members of the tea farty are the same element in society that wanted freedom to own slaves, imposed the Black Codes, use child labor in factories, and bar blacks from colleges -- the small, loony minority who thinks that 'liberty' means to have rights requires denying rights to others.

And you missed mine. . . prove it.

Meanwhile, here are some photos of blacks; no doubt begging for their lives to be spared by the angry crowd, at a TEA party event I went to.










Yep, a more bloodthirsty, child laboring, slavery lovin' bunch you'll never see. . . damn you look silly.

It amazes me that the core Tea Party belief of fiscal responsibility is considered extremist. I must be to stupid to understand that the government spending us into indentured servitude is responsible. All of this idiotic name calling going on is a waste of time. Why won't we address the issue that in spite of billions of dollars spent on education by the federal government our education results are a dismal failure. Despite billions of dollars spent helping students go to college the cost of college has increased so fast that college is even less affordable.

The government spent billions bailing out big banks and GM when they failed. Why did they not allow the bankruptcy policy to work. If they had additional regulation would not be necessary since the owners would insist on responsible management. People hate to lose money. Yes there would have been temporary market turmoil but it would have been over with much quicker.

Why are we bailing out people that bought homes they can not afford. If it was an investment for them they suffered an investment loss just like I did when I made stupid decisions when the tech bubble burst. If they bought a place to live then its temporary market fluctuations should be irrelevant.

Why did we spend billions to get people to buy cars. If they needed the car they would have bought one. If the car they had was still usable we did not help them by getting them into debt for a new car.

I could go on for a long time with examples of government irresponsibility. While the examples above are mostly Obama I am NOT stating that the republicans have not done stupid things also. That is why the Tea Party is not supportive of all republicans either.

A legitimate criticism of the Tea Party is that there is still the tendency of people to say they want the programs cut that do not effect them. My only defense would be that you could probably get them to accept those cuts as long as everyone is being affected.

I love rational political debate but have grown disgusted with the silly stupid attacks in these forums. I wish they would create a forum for those that just want to call each other names.

WTF - you are not the only person that understands politics and how the government works. You should assume that others can have a valid point of view that you may disagree with.

Why is it then, Shitstirrer Jon, that Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann draw the full ire of liberal shit-stirrers like you if the Tea Party is 90% white men as you claim?

It's nice that you boys had over a black fellow and a Vietnamese fellow. I bet they stuck out like sore thumbs in The Cracker Club.

I like this pic. I guess to you guys 'racial diversity' means very white, white, and not so white. Haha.

Hey, I like the photos showing a crowd of 20 white people and one black person. Thanks for proving my point! Haha.

This thread is amazing.

As usual, Boardman makes an excellent point. WTF, awaiting your response.
