"If there aren't violent racists in the tea party, then why are people calling and threatening

[proud2BlibKansan]

to kill us for speaking out about violent racists in the tea party?"

Ben Jealous, NAACP president


Amen Ben. Thanks for saying this so plainly and making it easy for the teaklanners to understand.

1. Could be anyone calling.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Yep. Could be.

But why would anyone who supports NAACP make such a call?

[EFerrari]

6. Well, could be any violent racist calling. n/t

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Probably same idiot who planted the fake bomb at our rally last night

The NAACP was there at the rally and the teaklanners were just enraged by that.

2. Proving a negative. Gotta love it.

3. He is great. I am so impressed with his leadership.

I got to hear him speak at my AFT convention last week. Wow. He was wonderful.

[Ruby the Liberal]

5. He definitely has a way with words

There is another thread on here detailing his comments to Michael Steele.

This guy is a keeper in regards to leadership.

7. He was on Thom's show yesterday.

I really like him. :thumbsup:

9. Same reason they say they're not racist when their crowds are all White.

[virgogal]

10. So the lack of people of color implies that the whites are racist?

What does that say about the good citizens of Vermont and Maine,both very white states.

Are they racist?

[EstimatedProphet]

11. No, the presence of racists openly at their rallies implies they're racists

The fact that they claim to be a very diverse crowd when there are less that 1/10 of 1% non-whites is what makes their claims absurd.
