Tea Party, thinkin about it.

[phenomena]

LOL He's really going to have to hit the prozac when RCG comes back after months of being active in his local Tea Party chapter and says "hey guys, I've been doing this tea pary thing for months now, I'm black, and I haven't encountered a hint of this racism whatsoever". ROFL Hermette's head will probably explode at that point!!!

 

[phenomena]

His post said nothing about the Tea Party, try again!! ROFL!!!

Of course besides the fact that he favors protectionism and higher capital gians tax!! LOL!!! Yah, some tea partier!! LMAO!!

That makes about as much sense as a flat tax,pro war, pro gun rights, anti obama democrat.

Quote from hermit:

You can conclude whatever you want, I have a DIRECT quote from HelloDollar talking in support of the Tea Party and that's good enough for me and others who quoted him, you can just keep gasping at straws.

Keep deluding yourself.

Quote from HelloDollar:

A quarter of the U.S. is Mud People. Another 8% are either Jews or fags. Throw in 2% Muslims and another 5% Asian. That means only 55% of America is straight, non-Jewish whites. Out of that remaining 55% I'd say a third or so are seedy, leftist whites. So that means, under 40% of America is actually worth shit. If Tea Party members are a third of the population, that means 80% of American's who aren't Ignorant Minorities support the movement.

The ‘Tea Party’ Smear
Posted by David Boaz

One sign of the tea party movement’s success is that the term “tea party” is becoming an all-purpose smear term for any more-or-less right-wing person or activity that the writer doesn’t like. In fact, I think “Tea Party” is replacing “neocon” as an all-purpose word for “the people I hate.”

Take a look at this article, teased on the cover of Newsweek as “France’s Tea Party” and online as “What a Tea Party Looks Like in Europe.” When I saw the cover on the newsstand, I thought, “A tax revolt in France? Cool! And about time!” But what is the article actually about? It’s about the National Front party of Jean-Marie Le Pen, whoIs that Newsweek‘s view of the “tea party”? The article went on to explain that at 82 Le Pen is yielding party leadership to his daughter, who is “a passionate advocate of its core message: strong French nationalism, relentless Euro-skepticism, and a lot of hard-nosed talk about fighting crime and immigration.” And lest that you think that such culturally conservative and unsavory attitudes simply go hand in hand with a belief in lower taxes and smaller government, the authors point out thatThat combination of nativism and welfare statism seems very different from the mission of the tea party movement. The Tea Party Patriots website, the closest thing to a central focus for tea party activists, lists their values as “Fiscal Responsibility, Limited Government, Free Market.” In fact, I note that writers Tracy McNicoll, Christopher Dickey, and Barbie Nadeau never use the term “tea party” in the body of the article. So maybe we should only blame Newsweek‘s headline writers and front-page editor.

In another example, the Guardian newspaper of London wrote sensationally about “Lobbyists behind the rightwing Tea Party group in the US” arriving in London for “an event organised by the UK’s controversial Taxpayers’ Alliance.” (Why is it controversial? Apparently because it agitates for lower taxes.) These groups, it is said, have “close links to the billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch” and “have lobbied . . . to maintain tax breaks for the rich” — and for everyone else, a point that author Phillip Inman inadvertently omitted. And, contrary to the article, Cato didn’t sponsor a taxpayers’ conference in London; we cosponsored the venerable European Resource Bank, a networking conference for free-market think tanks across Europe.

Inman writes, “The Cato Institute, which promotes its views on Fox News and other rightwing media, is one of the Tea Party’s main backers.” That’s sort of true, except for the point that our scholars have appeared more often on CNBC than on Fox. And that we don’t back any political or grass-roots movements, though many of our scholars have written generous — and sometimes more cautious — articles about the tea party movement.

My colleague Aaron Powell suggests that that many left-liberals, including many journalists, have a Manichean worldview that posits a fundamental conflict between corporations and government. And so if you dislike corporations, you perforce stand on the side of government. And when it’s energy corporations, like the Kochs, then anything they touch becomes The Enemy. And “Tea Party” is now, to some people, the generic name for The Enemy.

Nice article. It's interesting about France. People talk about the French here, but history show that they have been canaries in the coalmine of Western Civ.

France was actually the first superpower, post Rome.

Did you know it is a myth that Napoleon was shorter than most? I was taught that in school along with a bunch of other myths.

Were it not for France, we probably would not be here, as we were fighting against another superpower, Britain.

The reality is that people are beginning to recognize that our democracies have been subverted.

Culture wars are real, and they have absolutely nothing to do with race.

Hermit, here is my issue.

First, let me tell you that I respect your position. I read every thread you post. I know that I am not the only one, either.

Here is my argument.

Should blacks have eschewed Christianity after we had a choice to do so?

Based on your logic here, we should reject Christianity because of the CHRISTIAN KNIGHTS OF THE KLU KLUX KLAN

There are a lot of Christians who think that the children of Ham are today's blacks. Should we all convert to Islam?

Think carefully about this and reply, I await your response.

HelloDollar is a member of the Klan. How do I know? This is baseline Klan teaching.

Does HelloDollar represent the TeaParty any more than Sen. Byrd represents the present Democratic Party?

Again, not trying to bash you bro.

Did you see the movie "The Great Debaters" with Denzel?

I was one of them at Tennessee State University.

Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis. That is all I am looking for.

You posted it in this thread, which would imply that you are attempting to link HelloDollar to the mainstream of the TeaParty.

Otherwise your argument is invalidated as HelloDollar would represent an outlier, and not representative to the TeaParty as a whole.

Did you post his comments as mainstream or as the exception that proves the rule?

Sure, he is linked to the tea party, doesn't mean he represents it.

He is just one of the examples among many of bigoted behavior.

Are they just exceptions, who knows but there are quite a few of them around.

This is from a recent Sep 12 rally.
