What will it take for the media to acknowledge that the Tea Party is not a racist movement, and that liberals have smeared it as such in a naked politicization of race relations? How about a lefty activist admitting just that.
UPenn professor Mary Frances Berry, a leader of the "far-left black political scene," as NB Executive Editor Matt Sheffield wrote, penned this astonishing email to Politico, published on July 20:
Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

It sure is. The Tea Party specifically and the right in general tap dances to that tune. As they spend inordinate amounts of time denying it, pushing minorities to the forefront and having to prove they are not. The hell with everything else as long as they don't call us racist. Meanwhile the Marxist are laughing their asses off. White people in particular are so easily manipulated when it come to race it is pathetic. Proving that the NAACP, LaRaza, the Hispanic Caucus, Black Caucus and all the other race groups have the power. How incredibly Orwellian. Our nation hangs in the balance and many of them are more concerned with being called names then telling them to go to hell.
“What’s the most effective counter? Ridicule? Ignoring them?”
That is actually a tough question for me to answer... since I was
raised in west Texas... I would neither ridicule them nor ignoare
them. But a baseball bat would insure that it only happend once.

Then let’s start a movement to abolish all so-called “civil rights” legislation, all “affirmative action” programs and all this “diversity” nonsense.
If this is going to be so one-sided, then it’s not “civil rights” at it, it’s tyranny. If these people want to roll up their sleeves and fight dirty, then bring it on. I’ve got a feeling it’s coming to this anyway.
Please stop spreading liberal lies ... Joe McCarthy was a Senator and had no power to call anyone before the HOUSE Un-American Activities Committee.
Thanks!
The ways the Left thinks is always just plain strange.
What possible benefit can the Left enjoy by calling those who favor the Tea Party movement racists?
The potency of the Tea Party is not those relatively few who actually participate actively, but the many millions who share the aim of the movement.
How does it help you to call them names? If a few are racists, they will not be detered by the name calling. The rest, the overwhelming majority of just plain Americans who dislike what is happening will just get even madder- and more motivated- by the Left’s defamation.
Is this supposed to get the Left excited, to motivate turnout? It won’t do. Tea Party is too encompassing and too disperse to be much use as an actual target that would give rise to motivate a significant counter vote.
Speaking of that, Mary’s period on the Civil Rights Commission is a textbook case of racial intolerence.

Oh, lighten up. I think you understand the point.
Once the public understands how much they have been snookered over the years, they come around.
Joe McCarthy was chairman of the Senate Government Operations Committee, which had nothing to do with anything in the House of Representatives, including that body's Committee on Un-American Activities.
As feeeeelings and emotional name-calling are to liberalism, so factual accuracy is to conservatism.
Are we going to have a National White Conservative Press Conference as well?
Maybe we should start a Tea Party Black Caucus too?
The Tea Party is becoming a caricature.
Many of my family went to the U of P. If I recall, tuition was 5k in the 60s. I may be wrong. However, how can we justify hiring a racist when tuition is, I suspect, >25k.
she is a vile and ugly woman...
I vote ridicule. They are the new PRAVDA. They are the new Baghdad Bob.
Whatever they are, they’re hilarious.
You can reason with one man in a quiet room, assuming both of you are civil. But to move the American public at large, ridicule is more effective.
Interesting perspective.
The race card has but one purpose -
to silence those who question or argue against the leftist agenda. And it has worked for decades.
The “most effective counter” is to make it NOT WORK.
Keep pointing out the left’s failures and evil policies.
Best way to counter them is to start refering to these people as the Black Ku Klux Klan. A weak, wussified approach, the “we have more class than that” approach...is a loser.
You have to take on these racists, and counter them with their own racism.
“BOGUS... But EFFECTIVE?”
Hey! I am effective!
