(CNN) -- When it comes to the Tea Party movement, the stereotypes don't tell the whole story.
Here's what you often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: offensive posters blasting President Obama and Democratic leaders; racist rhetoric spewed from what seems to be a largely white, male audience; and angry protesters rallying around the Constitution.
Case in point: During the health care debate last month, opponents shouted racial slurs at civil rights icon Georgia Rep. John Lewis and one person spit on Missouri Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. The incidents made national headlines, and they provided Tea Party opponents with fodder to question the movement.
But here's what you don't often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: Patriotic signs professing a love for country; mothers and fathers with their children; African-Americans proudly participating; and senior citizens bopping to a hip-hop rapper.
Last week, I saw all of this during a five-city Western swing as the Tea Party Express national tour made its way across the country. CNN was along for the ride, and I was charged with planning CNN's coverage for five stops in two states: St. George, Provo and Salt Lake City, Utah; and Grand Junction and Denver, Colorado.

Your constant Socialist sympathies and regurgitation of Left-wing talking points should have gotten you canned long ago.
“Are you sure it's a lie? I'm not. I'm sure, in fact, that there are a few idiots in the Tea Party rallies who would and probably did do exactly what was alleged.”
After that, you were called out by “Gene Eric” Post # 38
“Are you sure its a fact, or are you just speculating?
Theres NO proof this occurred - to the contrary, theres evidence of a motive to fabricate the allegations.
Until evidence of uncivil behavior surfaces, theres no need to isolate the group from it.”
In post # 47, “RedMDer” called you out again:
“You: Are you sure it's a lie?
RedMDer: It is a lie and yes, I'm sure. We were there.”
You still wouldn't shut up, as you replied in this ridiculous post # 50:
“Right by the fellows in question, the entire time, right? Standing guard, checking for lies all day..... Wow. That's a big relief.”
So RedMDertold you again in post # 53:
“I was standing maybe three feet from where they say it happened. Its a lie”
So again , you come up wit even more rubbish in your post # 56:
“The whole time? Never, ever, could have happened? You were watching and listening to what was said to them?
I don't believe you're lying, but I don't think you can be as sure as you want me to think you are.
They were listening for it. You were not”
Again RedMDer put you right with
“Excuse me, we were very close and would have heard it. Were you there? “
See the pattern here?
You were essentially insisting that the Tea Partiers used racist epithets with absolutely ZERO evidence, despite being repeatedly called out by people who were actually there, and despite being challenged by me to produce ANY evidence to back up your assertions.
“Shut up, idiot, until you can read for comprehension.”
Now...you have been going for drug induced ride into crazy-land, spewing out loony left garbage since yesterday. For your own good, I would strongly suggest you scurry back to your mother's basement, safely out of sight of normal civilized people.
This is just in case you happen to actually come across normal humans by mistake. They might just see that in reality, you are every bit as insane Jeffrey Dahmer is, and ten times as stupid.
On the other hand, if you want to continue getting taken apart, crushed and dissected, feel free to keep coming back for more punishment.
Sorry, Shannon Travis...as long as you report the above as fact without checking it out, then you are as bad as the rest of them.
You’re a twit. Have a nice little life.
LOL! It's impossible to take you seriously, Joe. You're not only a twit, you're a silly, juvenile twit. You sound like a drama-queen 8th grade girl I know.
You realize, of course, that your hysterical reaction -- and your refusal to let it go -- is precisely the image of Tea Party people that the MSM and left want to portray. They want examples of people who are unable to discuss things in a sober, adult manner.
Grow up, pal.
Get lost Lib. I doubt you've done anything to help at all. Have you? Or do you just sit there safely on you little puter trying to make up slanderous slurs and drag patriotic Americans down to to your level? Have you done anything to help?
