This interview really demonstrated that Freeman is a really stupid person and that Piers Morgan is a lousy interviewer. when Freeman said that tea party was racist, Morgan didn’t challenge him to produce any example of why he believed this. He simply didn’t put upon Freeman to produce the facts.
I have no idea if tea party people are significantly racist. I also don’t know how many tea party people attended the Glen Beck rall this Spring. However, I have gotten the impression it was a significant percentage. I only know that when I was there, out of at least 10,000 people I saw while strolling around, I only saw 3 black people. I made a point of asking them why they were there. One was passing through to get to the Sharpton rally at the Martin Luther King memorial site. One said he just wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and the third just smiled and said nothing.
