Tea Partiers are smart to avoid association with the racist fringe that look to ride our coattails. I want nothing to do with racist (other than to mock them).
At the same time, guilt by association is wrong too.
Why would the organisers have this racist on docket to speak? Why not have everyone else and fire him? Let him speak somewhere else.
Tea Party needs to be on the offensive. Need to confront any white supremacist, racist including black racists, need to confront them direct with cameras rolling. Tell them publicly
GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THE TEA PARTY!!!!! GET OUT!!!
Don't ‘avoid’, CONFRONT.
Then turn sights back on the media and ask them did your socialist democrat masters tell you to smear our Tea Party? Did they?
Now that's offense. These weak-spined republicans who canceled will not get a base of conservative support unless they get on offense and drive the racists of all colors out.
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.
