WASHINGTON | The tea party is not a racist group, says Vice President Joe Biden, though he believes that some of those involved in the movement have expressed racist views.
Vice President Joe Biden speaks at the annual Tennessee Democratic Party Jackson Day on Friday, July 16, 2010 in Nashville, Tenn.
"Very conservative, very different views on government and a whole lot of things," Biden said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week." ''But it is not a racist organization."
President Barack Obama doesn't think so, either, Biden said.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People approved a resolution last week calling on tea party activists and others to "repudiate the racist element and activities" within the political movement.
Tea party organizers say racism does not have any place in their activities. Critics have pointed to signs and other actions at tea party gatherings as evidence of racist elements.
In defending the National Tea Party Federation, spokesman David Webb said Sunday the coalition of local and regional tea party groups has expelled the Tea Party Express from its ranks for refusing

Carrot stick approach? Sow confusion on your enemies? I don’t trust nor listen to anything said by the Dems. Nor the “Tea Party Leadership”, because there is no national Tea Party. Who’s PAYING these guys?
say one thing while having his civilian security force go out and say something else to get blacks to the polls by playing the race card..
obama and his thugs are right, they are the most open admin ever, I mean it is so easy to see how corrupt, they are, how much they lie and how much they say one thing and then do another to fool the public while having the media groupies report for them
Well I guess we’re out of the woods now, bite-me can’t be wrong.........can he?
Let’s see where we can go with that:
The Democratic Party isn’t a racist organization, but some of those involved in it have expressed racist views.
The Democratic Party isn’t an anti-Semitic organization, but some of those involved in it have expressed anti-Semitic views.
The Democratic Party isn’t a [insert favorite politically-disfavored adjective here] organization, but some of those involved in it have expressed [insert favorite politically-disfavored adjective here] views.
Nah, let’s not. We’re better than that.
This is what you need to start pushing right NOW!
Biden caught telling the truth! Bring out the News Media! He has to be a bit senile to say that (the truth), but you have to admire him for the truth.
There will be demands now that Biden be dumped in 2012.
Undoubtedly!
THis is classic misdirection, a game this bunch plays so well. Another variation of good cop/bad cop, with the roles understood by both. Biden and Obama don’t directly have to call the Tea Party racist, their surrogates do that job for them. Then B & O disclaim it , dissociate themselves from it, in order to play the Mature Adults. Brilliant/

They are tricky these tricky libs. Now it’s with the makey nicey. We heart u Tea Partiers! Sincerely, Joe and O
Really? Just how dumb do they think we are? Puhleeze.
May be... but the truth always outs - even with today’s ignorant Media! Only the media and the NAACP are the racists groups, most of America have long gone past such things.
Just when will we got past such nonsense... I would expect when a black person is elected president... whoops, never mind, that has happened and there was no change in attitudes...
You would think that all those liberal white folks would now get over their guilt - but not hardly, they now want him to implement all of his stupid liberal ideals... Hmmm, maybe that is what they wanted all along... until they didn’t! This has been a catastrophe! Why keep going along with his ideas!! Get off the bandwagon and come on board with the normal folks?
You know, the only way to get out of the racism thing is to understand that they will always call you racists! It matters not whether you are or not or who is doing the calling... the media will pick it up and pursue it as rational regardless. You have to eventually look to yourselves and realize that this is all just a sham and another attempt to push voters toward the Democrat party.
Just vote your Conservative hearts and forget about the media and their partisan rhetoric... It is just that!
Racism is not only less than in South Africa, it is less happening in all of America. If they want to cry racism, let them go to other countries... Yes, I’m talking about the racist NAACP who won’t even acknowledge the racism within their own group (much less the Black Panthers or the Anti-Jewish groups)... And yes, racism is about all racism - as well as anti-white groups.
Sorry that the NAACP not only does not agree, but they seem to think that racism only go one way - white against black... The should either read more of the news or get a life...
I don’t need VP Bite-Me to tell me I’m not racist. That only detracts from the real conversation:
- failed economy,
- crushing debt,
- loss of jobs,
- increasing terrorism on US soil,
- lack of White House leadership for two wars,
- failed immigration policy,
- failing to enforce border security,
- corrupt and ill considered bail outs,
- health care takeover against the will of the people,
- apologizing for America,
- allowing Mexico’s president to berate the USA from the floor of our House of Representatives
- union pandering to pay back union campaign funding,
- liberal judges who will continue to make up law,
- oil drilling moratoriums without facts,
- federally funded abortion
- NASA being used to pump up Islamic self-esteem
- debt commission that will report out after the November elections,
- etc, etc, etc
Has anybody asked Joe The Dumber if he thinks there’s any racism in the party of Sheets Byrd?

Tea Party is not an "organization," so Biden may be setting a record for being technically correct twice ("not racist" and "not a[n] organization") and wrong twice (saying or implying that it is "a[n] organization" and therefore it might be or considered to be by some a "racist" one) in the same short sentence.
Biden sees a slim path to the presidency with a potential Obama impeachment so he’s setting the groundwork to be friendly with conservatives.
Thank you massa.
