Tea Party's 'Uni-Tea' Summit To End Racism


Tea Party 365 founder David Webb kicked Tea Party Express leader Mark Williams out of the Tea Party Federation yesterday, for being racist. And plans are underway for a sexy Tea Party Race Summit, with live music and black people!

Any Tea Party rave worth its salt takes place at a site of historical American significance, and for this July 31 "Uni-Tea" rally, the organizers have gone balls-out and selected the Independence Hall area in Philadelphia. (This is where the Founding Fathers convened in that hot summer of 1787 to draft the original Tea Party Charter.)

The rally, called Uni-Tea, will feature white and black Tea Party supporters in all-day event that will feature live music, a web cast and plenty of Obama bashing.

The site for the event features 13 speakers, with at least 8 speakers being persons of color.

Ironically, President Obama used the same venue during the 2008 Presidential campaign to make his keynote speech about race in America.

The Independence Hall Tea Party is hosting the event, in the wake of the NAACP's public call for the Tea Party to denounce members who are openly racists.


So far, the event's most prominent confirmed black attendee will be Andrew Breitbart, who marched with Dr. King in Selma, maybe.

1. You can't have a tea party
without serving a lot of crackers.

3. when they quit supporting the New Arizona Law
I might start to think maybe they mean it, but until they call for the abolishment of this hate law, they are just blowing smoke.

6. It might work if they all attend
and it takes place on a rocket ship to outer space.

7. The use of the word "ironically" in this article is incorrect.
It is not ironic that both the "Tea Party" and Obama chose this venue. It is indeed highly intuitive that both selected it.

8. Window dressing.
Nothing can mask the racial hatred that defines this wing of the republican party.

9. Is this their "I am not a crook!" moment?
Obama in white face, white slaves, and other stupidity were seen at more than this one branch of the TeaBagger's vile existence.

10. "Brietbart, who marched with Dr. King in Selma, maybe"
:rofl:

Actually, the way I heard it, Breitbart was going to do the march in Selma all by himself, but then all these other hangers-on crashed his event. Otherwise, we'd all be celebrating Andrew Breitbart Day instead of that imposter!

12. "the event's most prominent confirmed black attendee will be Andrew Breitbart"
:wtf:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Breitbart#Origins_and_personal_life

He says he "grew up in Brentwood a secular liberal Jew" who celebrated his bar mitzvah and "has the tape to prove it,"



If he's black, then I'm a teabagger. :eyes:

15. That was a "joke" ...
A joke is a display of cleverness intended to engender yux. Some people, however, require advance notice if they're to recognize a joke when they read one. In polite society, it's customary to signal the onset of a joke by means of some subtle stratagem, such as a flashing bold font, animated images, or warnings in all caps. Clearly the author of this article in Gawker could stand a lesson in thoughtfulness.

16. Breitbart is clearly giving his all to build his street cred
:sarcasm:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20100720/pl_yblog_upshot/usda-official-resigns-amidst-race-controversy

An employee of the Department of Agriculture has resigned, after conservative media outlets posted video Monday of her describing a time in the past when she hadn't used the "full force" of her abilities to help a farmer because he was white....

Even so, Sherrod resigned after conservative media activist Andrew Breitbart posted video of the story and Fox News picked it up. She told CNN that she tried to explain to USDA officials that the incident was in the past, but said "for some reason, the stuff Fox and the tea party does is scaring the administration."
