Don’t like the Tea Party Patriots? Just Call ‘Em “RACISTS”

“Imagine a judicial nominee said ‘my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.’ Wouldn’t they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.” ~Newt Gingrich

Robert B. “the little munchkin” Reich declared in October of 2010, “The Tea party is bad for business…” Paul Thompson of UWIRE College Network wrote a hit piece called, “Witches, Nazis and Teaparty Lunatics“; Tea Party Organizers and Attendees are Redneck Racists, was how the blog, Black and Right framed their characterizations. Joan Walsh, in a Salon.com article, March, 2010 falsely accused Tea-party Patriots of calling Democratic leaders, “nigger” and “faggot,” and called for Republicans on the Hill to denounce them. And finally, in March Obama tells Kenneth Walsh, “Race a Key Component in Tea Party Protests…”

For all the lies told about the Tea Party movement, what makes the lies so insidious is the rank dishonesty by the dominant lame stream media about them. They say nothing about people uniting under the common cause for vocally opposing excessive government spending and taxation. They negatively spin the Tea party’s activities of attracting, educating, organizing, and mobilizing citizen advocacy for fundamental changes in public policy. They demagogue the Tea Party Patriot core values of Fiscal Responsibility, Constitutionally Limited Government and unfettered Free Markets, as a mash on the poor and needy.

But the one label which they want to stick is the, “Racist” label.  Nothing backs people down more effectively than calling them racists. Leftists have no problem finding surrogates to line up and make all sorts of scurrilous allegations and faux racism reports when it comes to the Tea Party. In fact, Google alone shows more than one-million hits for the phrase, “Tea Party Racists.”

The sad fact is racism can be found in every level and layer of society. Where the Tea Party movement cuts across cultural, social and racial lines, it isn’t any different than any other segment of our society. But liberals would have us believe racism and bigotry is at the core.  

Rank hypocrisy abounds. The lame stream media remains mute on all the hell-raising doneby Union thugs and hacks, but overstates and overreports, rank lies and smears on any citizen associated with the Tea party Movement, with allegations of racism. And, for no other reason than Tea party affiliation.  There is little doubt that members of the lame stream media have friends, spouses or a family member who claims fealty to the Tea Party movement. Yet many of those same pundits have no problem doing a hatchet job on the Tea Party movement.

Here is what we do know: When Liberals are losing any debate, they shout down their opponents with cries of racism, silencing the opposition, them claiming a victory in the debate.
