The signs depicting Ovomit as Hitler were carried by LaRouchies. But, they crop that out in pics of the signs.
That's one. I use "shut the hell up a**holes". Someone less vulgar could use idiots or morons or thugs etc.
How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.

Even though we haven’t voted on, and won’t vote on, the BUDGET BILL, we are going to call it ‘passed’.
—Nancy Pelosi
CIRCLE JERK.
The MSM told Ben that they saw RACIST SIGNS. Then they conducted an 'interview' and asked him to comment on the racist signs at TEA PARTY events. He 'knows' they were there because he got it from a 'reliable source'.
There is no one leader of the Tea Party. However, various spokespersons and self-identified ‘leaders’ have repudiated racism over and over. As have many people who identify with core Tea Party tenets.
It will never be enough. You can repudiate racism until the cows come home and it will never be enough.
The NAACP statement was a marketing ploy to discredit a set of principles that are in opposition to Dem/Lib ideology.
The ploy works by repetition. Make the same claim over and over. Make it in different ways, including in the passsive voice (like the NAACP statement). Blanket the media with it and never let up.
It works best against a group of people who are loosely aligned and do not have a heirarchal structure, no one leader, etc.
No matter how many people step up to repudiate racisim, no matter their stature, you can still keep asking the question ... over and over and over. “Why doesn’t THE Tea Party repudite racism?”. (Begging the question that there is no “THE” Tea Party).
No amount of repudiation will stop the questioning because stopping racism is not the goal. The goal is to cement the words Tea Party + racism in people’s minds to discredit anyone with with differing ideas and to stop debate on issues cold.
Repetitive negative stereotyping of groups of people is a very effective tactic to marginalize them. (Ask blacks, Jews, Latinos, Asians, Christians, Southerners ... on and on).

Still, what's racist about comparing Obama to Hitler, other than the mere act of criticizing a black president?
The libs compared Bush to Hitler all the time.
My response to the NAACP would be - Take your crap somewhere else BLOWHARDS.
EXACLY. They're setting us up. We all know how they play this game. Now we need to nip it in the bud!!
For starters, BAN ALL SIGNAGE entirely. Then, everyone looks the same.
Prove it would be a good response too. Naturally, there will be photo shopped pictures come out, so Tea Party people should be ready with experts. I like BREITBART’s response too. He has responded that he has a tape which documents the racism in the NAACP.
“The libs compared Bush to Hitler all the time.”
That doesn’t count! They’re Libs!
The first rule of the Tea Party is, you do not talk about the Tea Party.
I haven’t figured out what limited govt has to do with racism, but maybe some Democrat can explain it.

Yes, old prune face Nancy is the “Queen of Sharts” in the liberal’s deck of cards. Obama is the “Ace/Ass of No Trades”. LOL
Please fill in or add to their deck of cards.
“Seems to me that if the Tea Party doesn’t respond, the BIG LIE theory takes effect. Say it enough, and people believe it. I would rather that the Tea Party react angrily because the charge of racism has successfully been used against others to derail their careers.
My response to the NAACP would be - Take your crap somewhere else BLOWHARDS.”

“My response to the NAACP would be - Take your crap somewhere else BLOWHARDS.” I stand with You 100%!
Every single time they throw their propaganda out to the MSM I can’t help but hear them chanting to the Conservatives to: “HEY BATTA BATTA SWING!” Well, I’m not wasting my swing on a curve or spit ball...
I’m glad to see that Robert Downey Jr. seems to have gotten himself straightened out. I’ve always enjoyed his work.
Every good general will tell you that the best defense is a good offense. He’s not going to be shooting at you if he’s busy keeping his head down.
I’m aghast that the NAACP can bring the Tea Party to a standstill with an utterly ridiculous and false claim.
Now, can’t we at least come up with something that will do equal damage to their side? Nothing violent, of course. But I’d love to see the Tea Party get off a few rhetorical shots of its own and level the battlefield.
HOORAY Lloyd!
