The NRA and Tea Party haven't said a word. Can we just conclude that they don't care about black people?
On August 5, a man named John Crawford was playing with a toy rifle in an Ohio Wal-Mart. Someone called 911, and police showed up and shot him in the chest. He died.
On August 9, a man named Michael Brown was walking in the street in Ferguson, Missouri, when a police officer stopped him. According to the friend that was with him, Brown put his hands up to show that he was unarmed. The officer shot him in the back. Brown's body was left in the street for hours before being removed.
Since then, the incident in Ferguson has overshadowed the Ohio Wal-Mart shooting. Protesters have been gathering, and demanding answers from the police, who have become increasingly skittish and violent. Journalists are being told to turn off their cameras, local residents are getting tear gassed.
Nobody knows exactly what happened, but whatever the facts may be, things certainly look bad now. To most Americans, this is the stuff of horror films: A sleepy rural town being terrorised by an advanced military.
All of this then, begs the question: Where is the National Rifle Association (NRA), and where is the Tea Party?

Well said!
Not only that, where is the Welcome Wagon, the Rotary Club, the Shriners and Ladies Who Lunch & the Red Hats? Where is NASCAR, the Professional Bowlers Association, Up With People and the Society of American Florists? Where are the National Association of Independent Real Estate Brokers, Lutheran Social Services and the Hispanic National Mortgage Association and the Gay and Lesbian International Sport Association? Huh?
The NRA too?
If Tea Party types came to help in any fashion, it would definitely be racist. I can see the headlines now.
This guys attempt at tying Ferguson with the Tea Party is about as effective as trying to sew snot and bubble gum together.
Epic fail.
Uh, because they don’t want no more white people with guns?
Because there’s no need for reasonable people to waste their time on unreasonable people...: )
Hay Jazerra, where’s Al Gores money? hahahaha
Dexter Conehead doesn’t know what the expression “begs the question” means, but he can’t dress himself so it’s not too surprising.
He sleeps upside down in his very own batcave, in Batjammas that hang below his buttocks.
Wow. Al Jazeera is really hoping we’ll stir something up . . . .
2. The militias that showed up at the Bundy ranch were invited to be there by the Clive Bundy. No one at Fergeson that I have seen has invited militias to be there.
This isn't begging the question. "Begs the question" is not synonymous with "raises the question".
Learn grammar, idiot.
The interesting thing is this could be an opportunity for the Tea Party. They have a bunch of people who aren’t normally their allies protesting the government. Yes, this plays right into the Tea Party’s wheelhouse.
Wasn’t he in House Party in the early 90’s?
This creature is a waste of time and I shouldn’t spend another minute on him or his irrelevance but I love a great train wreck.
Can’t speak for others but friendly neighborhood riots are not my thing.
‘House Party’ and ‘Booty Call’ I think.
And ‘The Bride of Frankenstein’? But he had white stripes in his do.
