University sends email to alumni equating the tea party with the KKK
Daily Caller ^ | 12/06/2013 | Robby Soave

Posted on 12/06/2013 3:15:47 PM PST by Texas Fossil

A public university sent an email to alumni highlighting the esteemed research of one of its professors — research that notes many similarities between the old Ku Klux Klan and its modern-day equivalent, the tea party.

The University of Washington’s email to alumni asked the question four separate times: “Is The Tea Party like the Ku Klux Klan?” Christopher Parker, a UW political science professor, argues in a new book that there are major similarities. The book is titled “Change They Can’t Believe In: The Tea Party and Reactionary Politics in Contemporary America.”

“In this commentary from Professor Christopher Parker he argues that recent research shows racism is a strong indicator of Tea Party support,” said the email, which plugs Parker’s book.

There is no point in debating these ivory tower dunces. One of the core tenets in left wing academia besides Marxist-Leninism and identity politics is the post modern deconstructionist meme that reality is a social construct. For those in Rio Linda, that means that reality is whatever what one wants it to be. Magical thinking.

Conservatives must end all private support for public leftist indoctrination centers. No matter how much you love the football team, you are enabling jerks like this.

The banksters will do ANYTHING to discredit the Tea Party. It really is the only group of any size in America that could threaten the financial destruction Wall Street and its government have intentionally wrought in the United States.

Thanks justiceseeker93.

I am uneducated as this clown defines it.
I graduated High School, That’s it.

Being uneducated is not the same as being stupid.
Here we have an educated man who is stupid. He has spent his lifetime without actually learning a thing.

First he does not even know that the Tea Party is not a real party at this time, but an idea. An idea that the Constitution of the United States has worth. An idea that people who take an oath of office to defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America should actually do that.

He is not blind he can see what is happening. The President and his stooge Eric Holder ,are making their own laws and deciding on their own which to defend and support. That alone should be an impeachable offense. Barrack Hussein Obama was given a chance for greatness, He was given this chance in part because of his race and promise to bring the races together.

He has done just the opposite, He has destroyed the work of years in racial relations. He has lied over and over, and placed us so far in debt we may never get out and in fact we may lose our economic system. He is in the process of destroying our health care system, and our relations with foreign countries. He is allowing Christians to be slaughtered in the Middle east. He has tossed our immigration laws in the toilet. He has allowed YES ALLOWED an Ambassador of the United States to be killed.

Yes I am uneducated, but I am not stupid. If anyone denies anything I have written here let me hear from them. How is telling the truth synonymous with belonging to the Klan.

Hey Parker, you're the racist for attacking red-blooded Americans who want to defend the Constitution.

Your god Alinsky's rules don't work anymore. The following is a list of Alinsky’s rules for upheaval:

RULE 1: “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

RULE 8: “Keep the pressure on. Never let up.”

RULE 12: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Of these, Rules 4, 5, 8, and 12 have been used to greatest effect by the Left.

“If your opponent [has a hot temper], seek to irritate him. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. Attack him where he is unprepared; appear where you are not expected.” (Book I, Verses 22-24)”

Much has been made in recent political history of Saul Alinsky and his Rules for Radicals. Bill and Hillary Clinton reportedly followed Alinsky’s advice. Hillary wrote her thesis on Alinsky. Barack Obama taught a class on using Alinsky principles to keep the nation in chaos. After all, it’s easier to get radical policies enacted during a crisis.

However, there is an older, much more battle-tested set of rules for warfare that are becoming more applicable to politics in the United States as the political arena begins to resemble the Roman Colosseum: The Art of War by Sun-Tzu.

Prepare. . .

When they tell us they are going to “fundamentally change” our country, we are “reactionary” if we object.


It would be WAY too obvious what they’re up to if they called us “counter-revolutionaries.”

... I've heard the same nonsense for years now from conservative. "If you cross this line, there will be war." to "Ok, you've crossed that line, but if you cross THIS line, there there will really be war" to "Now you've gone and done it. Cross THIS line and I guarantee there will be war" to the present.

Correction, you are talking about republicans not Conservatives,

No, I meant conservatives, who are so quick to blame others for the downfall of the country.

So what is wrong with putting the blame on those that are responsible for the problems?

Your sentence implies that conservatives are the problem, period.

Who's fault is it, the “downfall of the country?”

Anything wrong with saying that Obama is a liar, or is that blaming the obamacare problems on “others?”

It seems to me you are blaming all problems on conservatives. Must be those tea party terrorists huh?

No. I'm blaming conservatives for not stopping the continual neutering of our society. Words mean spit right now. Without tangible actions, the Left will continue to push the Right aside.
