Telling us just exactly Why Tea Partiers Can’t Shake the Racism Label, Paul Wachter dredges up a few examples of obscure tea party activists who said some rather hateful things. Now, by the Wachter standard, the Democratic Party is sure having a tough time proving that its rank-and-file don’t believe Barack Obama is the Messiah or that the president’s supporters don’t believe opponents of Obamacare are domestic terrorists.
Not just that, this left-winger, while bashing Tea Parties, presumes to tell us just exactly what our problem is, “What might help the tea party avoid accusations of racism would be if it were more forthcoming about what exactly it stands for.”
Um, Paul, we’re against Obama’s big expansion of the federal government and for freedom. Other reporters who took the time to talk to Tea Party activists figured it out. He might have also figured it out had he done the some instead of writing about the angry right-wingers who live inside his head.
Wow, this guy is just plain filled with bile. Expect to see more such screeds on so-called mainstream news outlets in the coming days.
What does "Tea Party" stand for? I know you have to reach really deep into obscure American history to figure that one out.
