Robin of Berkeley has a great column today on these riots and the fact liberals are the true racists. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

One word that can kill a good protest, Provocateur.

They will out in force at tea parties.

Obama was a huge supporter of Tony Rezko, a notorious slumlord, now a felon. When Obama served in the state senate, black residents picketed Rezko's offices to protest their rat-infested, unheated apartments.

Hmmmm, never heard that one before, certainly not on MSM coverage. Anybody?

Thanks for the link.

The story is spun BS, through-and-through.

I do know that my ex-brother-in-law teaches others how to demonstrate and agitate - he did for the protestors in Seattle where they broke windows, etc. He is white.

I also know when I looked at photos of the active "rioters" I saw white faces with hoodies and scarves. Just like the guys my ex-bil teaches.

I think white "activists" were at least partly responsible for the demonstrations turning ugly.
