According to one definition, a racist is one who judges people based on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. Hmmmm... Isn’t that exactly what the democrats do with their blanket charges of racism?
The fact is that the Tea Party groups have never discouraged anyone from joining their movement. If the numbers of non-Whites are not that great, that does not reflect anything that the Tea Party participants have done. Rather it reflects the success of the Left in demonizing American principles, patriotism & history. If we allow this insult to go unanswered, we effectively agree to let them continue to undermine our traditions, not by rational argument--the Left has none--but by lying about our history, principles, patriotism, etc..
This sort of attack should spur all informed Americans to join in the revival of the American spirit, of which both Free Republic & the Tea Party movement are a part.
