I saw this. Our sheriff in Pima County said the same thing. His proof was that there were no Tea Parties before there was a black president.
Except for the original Tea Party.
Many of us were fed up long before Obama came along. "RINO" existed before Obama. It just took awhile for the movement to take on a name.
Guys like Goldwater and Reagan were critical of the party establishment and Washington in general.
The Pima County Sheriff is a buffoon too! Tea Party is not about race, it's about Communist destruction of Our Constitution.
The Pima County Sheriff needs to be replaced with someone who can process reality in a logical manner. JMHO
The Pima County Sheriff is late to the Party. The orginal TEA Party (founded on the basis of advocating a smaller, fiscally responsible and less intrusive Federal government) has been hijacked by all sorts of goof balls who propagate bigoted and hateful nonsense. There are some elements of those who have hijacked the original and true TEA Party movement only for the expressed purpose of grifting.
Our Minority filled So Called Government is racist and has hated white people long before that Idiot Kenyan was ever around.
In Clinton's time we called them "The Tax Payer's Protest".
The typical causal attribution error so common and infuriating in politics. More people (not just African Americans) need classes in logic.
Ah ya mean....no tea-partiers before we had a socialist, radical, undocumented alien for a President that doesn’t give a rats ass about the Constitution! I take that back, he does give a fig about the Constitution.... only in as much as to destroy it as fast as he can!
