The Tea Party can be described in a plethora of adjectives to determine exactly what their platforms might be which are assortments of conflicting ideology and out an dated belief system.
This rag tag party being used as a front by Republicans to detract, delay and disturb while creating a circus atmosphere which initiated during the initial health care reform bill town halls. The strategy is to have you believe the Tea Party is a third party grass roots movement that accepts all people, but lets dissect what they really stand for here and who they represent.

The tea party signs were often peppered with the N word, a hangman’s noose around an Obama effigy and many examples of sheer racism. This all culminated along with the spitting and N word calling to black legislators walking into the Capital to sign the HCR bill.

#1 - Thu Oct 21, 2010 4:21 AM EDTThe Tea Party is an angry old fart party that has no direction except to be led by the GOP in some nasty campaigns to derail the democrats. The Tea Party is being used but is hardly effective as a voice other than anger at every aspect of life.

When I hear the TP'ers say " I want my country back" I feel what they really mean is they want their country WHITE. They would have us go back to the pre civil rights time of the 60's.They have not recovered from the election of our first African American president and the total lack of respect for the position- even if they do not like the person holding it- is incredible. I think they suffer from PTSD actually.

They do want to take our country back, back to pre-Civil War America. It's not going to happen, and their disappointment will be massive, no matter who wins the mid-terms.

This was also demonstrated in PBS's Frontline recent airing, "God in America" on how the GOP manipulated the evangelicals to do their bidding during the Eisenhower and Reagan years.

It pains me that people actually read this garbage and actually choose to buy into something an idiot author like this says.
Tea Party racism is proven by their demographics which is"
white, male, conservatives...
This moron actually states that because I am white, I am a racist. Because I am male, I am a racist. Because I don't believe in a federal power grab called Health Care Reform, I am a racist. Pure stupidity and mindlessness.

#2 - Thu Oct 21, 2010 5:52 AM EDTI am old, white, Vietnam era vet* with a son who served in Desert Storm. I was a conservative member of the Republican Party for 45 years.
I can tell you, without equivocation, that virtually every conversation I have with a tea party supporter ends with proof of their bigotry and racism, with proof that they have no clue what this administration and congress are actually trying to accomplish for them, with proof that they have no idea what it will take for our country to compete with the rest of the world in the 21st century.
Call me a moron if you like Mike, but I've seen it since the day Barack Obama announced his candidacy and I continue to see it every day.
Simple facts for you to consider. The rest of the world understands that in order to be competitive in the 21st century you need a healthy, educated workforce and an infrastructure that is complete and functional.
Our president and those who support him know that virtually every other country has stepped up to insuring that they have that healthy workforce with universal health care that does not discriminate because of pre-existing conditions and they do it much better for far less money.
Our president and those who support him recognize that we have slipped from number one in the percentage of college graduates to 12th and that we absolutely must improve our education system.
Our president and those who support him recognize that, not only are our roads and bridges failing us, we fall far behind countries like South Korea in broadband coverage and speed.
Our president and those who support him recognize that we have to develop energy sources other than oil from the middle east.
I can tell with just a five minute conversation with a tea party type that, not only do they not understand these basic facts about the world of the 21st century, they let their fear of people that do not look like them and concepts that they don't understand drive them to believing the crap spewed by the fat cat leaders of the Republican Party who are only looking out for their own interests and not those of our country.

white, male, conservatives .... because I am white, I am a racist. Because I am male, I am a racist
It's not about being white, male, or conservative. It's about excluding everyone who isn't.
It's about making up lies, deceptions, and even ridiculous stories [he's a foreigner/not a US citizen/hiding his birth certificate/communist/socialist/Nazi/conceited (read "uppity")/doesn't "look" like me, etc.] that would seemingly never have traction except with bigots and idiots. Most Tea Partiers aren't racists, but they don't seem to mind the ones who are, either.

Have you been to a Tea Party rally, guess not, cuz if you did, you would know that these people just disagree with what this current motion is standing for, a socialization of this country.
As for making this country white, why is it that the GOP fought for decades to make Civil Rights and the Lingnuts, the Democratic Liberals, fought to keep it away, think of the Grand Wizard of the KKK, Senator R Byrd and people like Kennedy, they did not want civil rights.
And here years later, they are Lieing again, trying to make people believe their lies.
Which is what the Liberal Progressive Party (maybe they should be called the DLP party) always does...
LIE.

McSpocky keep up te good work!!
If this Tea Party wants OUR country back, they will have old roads, old railroads that can't be fixed, teachers that aren't not always the best for our children, no windmills or green techno, no dams being built and a lost cottage industry that can"t move out and up with the Global world.
Also, Pt Obama wants to do business with 3rd World Countries not just help them. I could be missing the point. But I must say Pt Obama, you can see his pain.worry in his face when he tries with his compassionate covictions. If the Tea Party wants to budget, restore back to the past: We will have stolen funds, messed up banks pay, millions for stupid wars and poor people living under bridges because of the lack of jobs.Sure, Eveyone seems to blame Obama for the lack but this started long ago. "We can't go back Home again."
Nobody asked my opinion and I can't get fired for saying this: I really think they are disgusted because Pt Obama is Black. Well he can't rub that color off his skin. He carries himself very well under the stress of being President and yes, being Black. Who are we really kidding?
- 1 vote
Yes, being President while black. That's what a good portion of those who are against President Obama dislike about him. :(
He's doing an awesome job, considering all the BS he has to fight day after day...

For those who missed the history lesson on passage of The Civil Rights Act of 1965, here's a recap:
100% of southern Republicans and 95% of southern Democrats (many of whom later broke with the Democratic Party and became Republicans) voted AGAINST.
97% of non-southern Democrats and 85% of non-southern Republicans voted FOR.
JFK was DEAD.

Not all Tea Party Members are racists perhaps only a few, but they all must share in some of the quilt by association for not speaking out loudly for what goes on within the little leadership they have. Right after a psycologist had spouted of with the "N" word on public radio, Sister Sarah was right out there defending her. Nobody made this up or is lieing about it ;as it happened and there is a reason for it. Any sane logical mind realizes that there aren't too many choices of reason to choose from. They may in fact not even be bigots but show such an open willingness to use anything to further divide us as a Nation that it really doesn't mattter for the end result is the same. They want their Country back from anyone that is not on the same page as them and that just is not what America was meant to be. The Tea Party movement was rushed into actions with an unabated agenda once it was seen that a black man was elected President and this is where there biggest mistake was as they allowed people of low character to be their guiding voice instead of through organization making sure that they would be lead by people on the same page as to what they were really trying to say and this has earned the entire movement the type of stigma that it now finds itself stuck with........
