I believe that Mark Williams was patently foolish to post that ‘letter to President Lincoln’ that intentionally demeaned ‘colored’ people - but it should have been ignored. Making a big show about ‘expelling’ Williams, as other posters have stated, just gives the ‘racist’ smear a handle and encourages the enemies of the Tea party to keep using it. At this juncture name-calling is all the left can do, so they do it, incessantly, hoping the smear will stick enough to render the Tea Party ineffective because the majority population buy the ‘racist’ label the left has tried to smear it with. This incident should be ignored because it was an aberration. Mark Williams’ parody of Black people is not who the Tea Party folks really are. Let’s stop being put on the defensive.
Bumping your post.
However, I will note that the TEA Party is experiencing growing pains.
Everything is baby steps at this point.
That being said, this letter was not helpful.
