Herman Cain (conservative talk radio host in Atl) has spoken at Tea Party events all over GA, and now all over the country. His response is “They are calling us tea partiers ‘racist’, I have to go look in the mirror to see if I missed something!” LOL
Here’s this year’s Atlanta tea party speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12RZ3FUlBCI&feature=related

TIM SCOTT STATEMENT ON NAACP RESOLUTION CONDEMNING TEA PARTY AS “RACIST”
Tim Scott, Republican candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s First Congressional District, issued the following statement today:
“I understand that the NAACP, at its annual conference in Kansas City, will vote today on a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement as “racist”. I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.” “As I campaign in South Carolina, I participate in numerous events sponsored by the Tea Party, 9/12, Patriot, and other like-minded groups, and I have had the opportunity to get to know many of the men and women who make up these energetic grassroots organizations. Americans need to know that the Tea Party is a color-blind movement that has principled differences with many of the leaders in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans. Their aim is to support the strongest candidates – regardless of color or background – who will fight to return our country to its Constitutional roots of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.”
That’s right, I forgot about Mr. Cain. I find it easy to dispel these “racist” charges to people that are ignorant of the facts. There are far too many conservative black patriots for them to ignore. Unfortunately, no one will see them highlighted in any significant way if they are only using the state-controlled media outlets for their “news.”
