Ed Tea Party protest descends into madness, racism....

[Sword_Of_Truth]

So no democrats or no liberals are willing to accept responsibility for the 9/11 truthers, I take it?

 

[MattusMaximus]

This crap is a real low point for the TP movement, and I think it is only a matter of time before the GOP begins to regret allying themselves with it.

I think the fodder this is giving the Dems for the midterm elections is going to be particularly troublesome for the Republicans.

The Democratic party is not seeking, and never has sought, to ally themselves politically with the Twoofers.

Nice try, but no cigar.

Why? Truthers are neither a liberal or democrat movement. Teabaggers, however, have been catered to by the right, including the GOP and Fox News.

Nor is any republican knowingly seeking to ally him or herself with racists.

No cigar for you.

From the original post.

"A writer for Huffington Post said the crowd called Frank a 'faggot.'"

"Demonstrators outside the U.S. Capitol, angry over the proposed health care bill, shouted "n-word" Saturday at U.S. Rep. John Lewis"

What is this double standard, why do they use the childish n-word instead of ****** when they use faggot in the same article?

And why does JREF blank ****** but not faggot? Why do you hate homosexuals?

Because the "n-word" has no other application in the English language. Faggot, spade, coon, spook, spear chucker and a lot of other terms do. There are other contexts in which they may be used.

The real question is who some of the Libertarians who have been telling us how "inclusive" the Tea Party movement is will begin to see the light.
Let's be honest, Both Parties have certain members on the extreme edges who advocate an alliance with some pretty out there types, probably on the grounds of "The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend" a dangerous tactic.

The diversity in the those Tea Party crowds is astounding!! *sarcasm* I wonder were these people where during Bushes Presidency. Hmm... As many times that i've heard "it has nothing to do with race" i've seen some biggot spouting out racial slurs and condemnation of liberals.

Really? From a singular incident for which there's no proof of it actually happening?

It's really true... "Politics" is the last refuge of woo on JREF.

The few times I've been called "Spear Chucker" was fun. I would do the Heisman pose and when i got the blank stare say "Ha ha! You don't know M*A*S*H!"

You mean that they aren't seeking to ally themselves with the Tea Party?

-Larry Niven.

Now where is your evidence that 100% of the tea party are racists/fuggheads?

Great Americans, all of them.

Oboma is an undocumented Soviet agent trying to socialize this blessed country starting with medicine. Think about that... medicine. This is exactly the sort of thing we should protest, and those who don't are a shame to their Aryan race. What's funny is that the communists only take to the streets to celebrate the homosexual agenda, show Porto Rican pride, and defend the Arab hordes in Iran, who surely deserve a nuke (made in the U-S-of-A).

I swear to Allah, the faggots on these boards whine about racism every five minutes. That won't get you anywhere -- this is America, not some European soccer league. **** you, go listen to Coldplay.

Did anyone claim that 100% of the tea party are made up of such people? However, it does appear as if a large portion of the tea party is made up of said people.

Define "large portion" (as in %) and supply evidence that this is the racist /fugghead representation of the Tea Party.

You can't prove that the KKK is made up 100% of racists either.

There have been racist signs at every Tea Party protest, and none AFAIK of the other protesters seem to have had any objections. None, AFAIK, of the speakers at these rallies have asked such people to leave their group. Why is that?

"People who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama....we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country."-- Tom Tancredo at a Tea Party gathering, in which he recieved much applause.

Yea, the Tea Party isn't racist.....

 

[Sword_Of_Truth]

What percentage of tea party attendees were carrying such signs and were they really racist?

None, AFAIK, of the speakers at these rallies have asked such people to leave their group. Why is that?

How many anti-war protestors have asked 9/11 truthers to leave? How many of them asked those carrying signs calling for the murder of thier political opponents to leave?

Why is that?

In either case (both tea party and anti-war protestors) would there have been legal grounds to ask the offenders to leave?

 

[MattusMaximus]

Israel saw such attitudes and signs.....just before Rabin was assassinated. I hope the Secret Service is watching these folks.

C'mon Parky, let's not go overboard. They're stupid jerks, but even stupid jerks have First Amendment rights and the freedom to assemble in great, teaming masses of jerky stupidity.

The best way to counter this nonsense is to expose it for everyone to see. The solution isn't to limit anyone's speech, the solution is more, better speech.
