actually, they are labeled racist because most racists gravitate to the party.

I can't dispute that. However, that's racists showing how stupid they are. I'm wicked smaht. If I was a racist, if I wanted to see destruction brought to blacks, I'd vote Democrats across the board. As I said, look at the big cities. Most run by Democrats, most are colossal failures.

Try making that wrong?

trying to make sense of this.....sooo.....between 51% and 100% of racists gravitate to the Tea Party in it's various forms? Is this ALL racist or is this racists that are registered to vote(politically active racists)? Just curious how you arrived at such a statement(label)? By your labeling standards can we label the dems "criminal" because "most" criminals gravitate to the party given their soft stance on crime and punishment and support of felon voting etc?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement there is quite a bit in here regarding the tea party...I don't see it or "them" labeled "racist" beyond accusations by....well.......surprise..


Perceptions of the Tea Party
The movement has been called partly conservative,[5] partly libertarian,[3] and partly populist.[4]
The movement has sponsored protests and supported political candidates circa 2009.[6][7][8] Since the movement's inception, in the late 00's, left wing groups have accused the party of racism and intolerance.[267][268] Left leaning opponents have cited various incidents as evidence that the movement is, in their opinion, propelled by various forms of bigotry.[267][268] Supporters say the incidents are isolated acts attributable to a small fringe that is not representative of the movement.


Political language...is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.

-- George Orwell, "Politics and the English Language" (1946)
