"In my opinion, the biggest challenge with the Tea Party movement, like the Republican Party, is that it is 99 percent white."

Actually, young lady, what should be of note is that the Tea Party is even 1% black, given blacks voted in lockstep 97% for Obama.

“In my opinion, the biggest challenge with the Tea Party movement, like the Republican Party, is that it is 99 percent white.”

What liberal blog did she pull the 99% from? In a simple internet search using some pretty unflattering news sources, the most I could find was 79% of tea partiers being white. But then again, perhaps she just wanted to exaggerate to make a point all the while trying to be taken seriously as a writer.
I have no idea the racial make up of the GOP since that organization holds no interest for me
