Tea Party Ties to Racism Questioned (Two local Tea Party rallies founder on racism charges)

At today’s Tea Party Express gathering in St Paul, MN, there were some showing by Ron Paul types, one LaRouchie, and one lone InfoWars (911 was an inside job) type. The latter kinda skulked away less than halfway through. The other two fringies were shall we say somewhat harmless. There was also one other anti-war sign, however they left (were asked to leave?) after maybe twenty minutes - somewhat insulting to those present who had served. As far as lunatic racist types, none to be seen.

Food for thought: the left and the media are not inventing all of these "racism" charges to stop the TEA party movement, moreover,they are trying to fire up the SEIU/ACORN crowd into challenging the TEA party gatherings in some warped notion of fighting racism.

To the left, "racism" is the trump card for everything; to them it justifies everything from lawsuits to murder.

The media and the liberals know it's like taking "firewater to the indians", like in the old cowboy movies, their far left fringe is easily fired up and will do the bidding of their leftist masters.

The leadership of their side want this to happen, and I think obama wants it to happen. It will all be blamed on the TEA party movement and "dear leader" will use that to either a) ban TEA party movements altogether, or; b) declare some form of martial law, so the November elections will be cancelled and we become "Venezuala" and he becomes his hero, "Chavez".

I believe it's all part of an elaborate set up; obama desparately needs the TEA party movement distracted. So far, he's not accomplished that with just his propaganda machine yelling "racist"...so in true Alinsky fashion he's ready to ramp it up to the next level...confontation in the streets.

They don't care if nearly half the TEA party movement is composed of democrats and independants, they only care about their far left agenda, they are socialist/marxists first and foremost.

I'm basing this theory on past behavior of the kenyan and his minons, and past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior.

Are we prepared to go to the next level? Will we cow down in the streets and weep? It remains to be seen.

Remember, those who come looking for trouble are no problem for those who are ready for it.

A POST ON TWITTER? OMG! That could have been ANYBODY!

I know well the Dems are racist and hypocritical to the extreme, but that doesn't mean we can let down our guard and join them in the gutter. I hope this article is in error as often they are.

[elpadre]

and don't forget the KKK was always a Democratic organization formed in opposition to Abraham Lincoln’s policies.

Obama sat in church with a racist for 20 years.

Media maintains its cluelessness.

T.E.A. Party has no one leader. We The People are just that, We The People.

All kinds of people. From the fruits to the nuts and all the mainstream Americans in the middle.

But all the Media wants to focus on are the fruits and the nuts.

And while they’re doing that, more people are leaving the Democrat party and registering as Republicans.

November cannot arrive fast enough.

Eidsmoe has withdrawn as a speaker at the Wausau rally.

“Of course, the media is going to portray all Tea Partiers as racist as a result of this.”

[liberalism is suicide]

You mean the PC police,these paragons of tolerance, would actually *lie* to us when they call someone a racist? Gasp!

Then I guess with these people backing out, it just gives some of those normals in the middle to stand up to the mic!

[MrB]

That concept drives the left absolutely NUTS.

In their world, EVERYTHING should be directed from the top down by the smartest people available.

[AmericanMade1776]

Dump Eidsmoe.. he is tainted now, and he hurts the cause and slows the speed that the Tea Party is moving.. full speed ahead. Tell him to get out of the way.

[AmericanMade1776]

This link.. might have the video in question about Eidsmoe he is in attendance at Alabama Secession Day Event.. in Montgomery. A bit too much glorifying the Confedracy for my taste, how about the rest of you Freeprs.

There is more justification to label all Democrats “Communist” than there is to label all TEA Party participants “Racist”.

I think that most of the people who will be voting in this “off-year” election already know who the TEA Party participants are and they will not be fooled by leftist crap.

Absolutely. Don’t be afraid of standing up to the microphone and saying your piece.

We MUST remember that TEA in Tea Party is Taxed Enough Already. I think if we stress that, we’ll have an easier time Alinskying the Democrats. It’s not about drinking tea but THEY want it to be about tea bags or tea leaves. RAIL back about TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY and catch them off guard. Ignore the tea bag, focus on the overuse of taxes to fund the over-sized Federal Government.

Put Congress and the White House on a diet . . . let’s have TAXLESS Tuesdays and Thursdays. Or how about Taxless even and odd numbered years?

Heads we win, tails Nancy Pelozi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama LOSE!
