Racial slur by Tea Party leader hits home

Dayton Daily News ^ | April 12, 2010 | Lawrence Budd

Racist comments, including a slur about Hispanics, posted on the Twitter page of the Springboro Tea Party were particularly hurtful to Alana Turner.

“Illegals everywhere today! So many spics makes me feel like a speck. Grrr. Wheres my gun!?” said the March 21 posting on the site managed by the group’s founder, Sonny Thomas.

Then he has got alot in common with our dear President.

[Hodar]

Or did they find a plant? The liberals have threatened that they would infiltrate the Tea Party. What better way to bring criticism to an entire nationwide effort?

[sniper63]

This is a front page story for this tired liberal rag

"this fool post some trash talking smack on me so here i post one right back how you like that you racict cracker"

A direct quote taken from crashtheparty.org. HMMMMMMMM, No racism in that comment is there?

I feel so dirty right now I need a shower.

What’s to say this isn’t some of the crash the tea party crap?

I dug into Sonny Thomas last week when this first appeared. He does run a local TP. He did tweet what they say he did. He does blame the financial mess on the joos. He is what they say he is.

[Oratam]

I like your idea. However, these cowards won’t allow user comments on any of the 5 articles I opened. Grrr.

[Future Snake Eater]

No racism in that comment is there?

I suppose so, but I've always been fascinated by the term "cracker." How is that supposed to be offensive? It honestly sounds stupid to me. -1 on creativity for insults...

[wtc911]

Yeah, except he has been involved in the TPM for some time now.

It's no big deal to acknowledge that we have some loose cannons and bona fide racists on the right. It's a big country and there are some holdovers from the old ways of thinking in every level.

The key is how we handle them when they show up. I don't think that blaming the left for planting every idiot or bad player is helpful or healthy, given the fact that we can investigate for ourselves.

[Lazamataz]

you racict cracker

Isn't Irony Ironic?

Wait. Let me use the same spelling skill of that poster.

Izn't Iriny Ironik?

[reagan_fanatic]

Oh, I see - because one dummy used a slur, we’re ALL bigots and racists.

Got it.

Here's my take on all of the "stop the TEA party" crap...they can only stop us, if we let them stop us.

With all of their normal fluster-blustering, threats, and lies, they are used to getting apologies, butt-kisses, and scaring folks away. That can't happen, ever, again.

They need to know - and I believe this to be true - the TEA party express is coming, and coming hard - whether they like it or not.

There is nothing they can do to stop it. The media is going to say what the media is going to say; but bear in mind the REASON they are saying it...again...more intimidation.

Like Donald Duck's nephews - Huey, Dewey, and Louie - the left has their own "Junior Woodchuck Manual" to tell them how to chew gum and walk at the same time...it's called "Rules for Radicals" by their hero, Saul Alinsky.

Now, why they need a book to tell them what to do, is totally unbelievable; the title should have been "acting out to scare the adults", which is about what it amounts to.

However, we have the Bible and the Constitution, both of which were written by people much, much wiser than Saul Alinsky, and those documents/books deal with building and creating freedom, faith, and liberty...Alinsky's book deals with tearing those things down.

No, the TEA party movemenet/express is in full bloom and is rolling and they can't stop it. Even if they found a way, there is till November 2nd.

Everything the left has done so far to stop the TEA party express, has only made it grow, and grow; if they really want it to explode, then let them send in the goons and try to stop it.

Now those two basement dwellers - Jason Levin and Craig Varoga - have started the "crash the tea party" website to try and infiltrate the gathering in DC and start some trouble. Well, I'm 64 years old and I think I could take them both out at the same time, with one hand. Now, according to Michelle Malkin, they've already retreated by passwording their website...they couldn't take the heat from conservative "infiltrators".

It's just left the - media enabled - scare tactics. Emmanuel Cleaver and his bunch of "I-see-racists-when-there's-no-one-there" idiots have been trying this for two weeks, with no traction whatsoever, well except for the MSM, and they'll believe anything a lefttard says.

The TEA party steamroller is coming to town sissy boys, we'll be looking for you.

[maine yankee]

Take a look at the folks who attend tea party rallies. Look at the seniors, the blue collar clothes, the no-nake sneakers. (and I am proud to stand next to them)

How many of these great folks do you think ‘tweet’ ?

This doesn’t pass the smell test.

[techcor]

Well, now that you have posted the statement and several posters have quoted it the next headline from the MSM will be “Racial slur on Free Republic website causing anguish among minorities. John Robson or Jim Robitussin (or whatever Olberman thinks up) soon to be taken into custody on hate crimes violation.”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Best advice to any Tea Partier is to spend some time chattting with someone who grew up in a Communist country
(Cuba, Russia, former Soviet Bloc, etc.). They have seen this all before and they know the drill. Until Obama came along most Americans have not. They can give you some valuable advice.

[Artcore]

Perhaps these idiots need to check the demographics on who it is that makes up the Tea Party movement.

The more they print this crap, the more they insult regular Americans who attend these Tes Parties.

These numbnuts are killing their own subscription/circulation numbers :)

[TheVitaminPress]

It's no big deal to acknowledge that we have some loose cannons and bona fide racists on the right.

True, but I think it should be firmly established that the plants are active and it should be cataloged when they have acted. Otherwise the narrative gets hijacked and the movement will get buried beneath a mile and a half of straw.

Jim Rob

Is it possible for you to contact the many tea party groups and inform them of what we do here at Free Republic, in relationship to racist comments and comments inviting violence, the Zot and banning. The left is trying to destroy the tea parties with false flag operations.

The tea party and forums like Free Republic are scaring the hell out of the Dems. They will do anything they can to try and destroy us.

[Outlaw Woman]

What’s to say this isn’t some of the crash the tea party crap?

My very first thought.

[SkipW]

He is also ONE person. ONE!

[wtc911]

I know he’s just one person and I’m certain that he is an aberration. My only point here is that he is, based on the digging I did last week, an actual TP organizer and not a plant to make the TPM look bad.

[wtc911]

but I think it should be firmly established that the plants are active and it should be cataloged when they have acted...
