1. Sure whatever...

My eyes don't lie. If the tea baggers are a diverse group than I'm a fucking ghostbuster.

[Jackpine Radical]

30. A fucking ghostbuster? How do you bust fucking ghosts?

Or do you bust them for fucking, or do you fuck while busting them?

I'm confused.

[YOY]

31. Sorry JPR. The only white sheeted things I bust areRepubliklan members.

As it stands in reality I don't know much about ghosts in coitus or otherwise and the teabaggers have a strong white, old, and racist edge to them.

[rpannier]

48. Maybe he Fucks Ghost Busters

[YOY]

55. Only if you're dumb enough to think the Teabaggers are diverse.

n.t.

[movonne]

2. Where are you people coming from????

[YOY]

4. All walks of life!

They encompass the diversity that is America! They have fundies, racists, conspiracy theorists, militia nuts, separatists, and the generally stupid!

[damntexdem]

19. And don't forget RW elected public officials.

Not quite all of which fit in the "generally stupid" category.

[Jackpine Radical]

29. Actually, the cream of RW politicians don't fit in the"generally stupid" category.

The fit in the Psychopath" category.

[gateley]

3. Actually, that was really well done. They have a sense of humor.

And they have a valid point about MSNBC's lineup. But I'm not planning on attending, regardless. :7

[Dave From Canada]

9. I also thought it was well done. Plus, the Hispanic woman in the video is kinda hot!

[BigD_95]

52. "kinda hot" ???

she was way hot!!!!!

[bitchkitty]

22. ???

I thought the acting was wooden and the music made my butt cheeks clench.

[gateley]

53. Only my opinion -- we all interpret things differently through our own filters.

But, thinking back, I'd agree with you that the acting was wooden, but I still give them kudos for the style and humor they approached it with. In my opinion, natch. :7

[Rozlee]

5. Every time I hear about Tea Party approval ratings, I always wonder, what demographic

are they asking? I know the demographic that attend and belong to Tea Parties; we all do. But, the lack of blacks, Hispanics, Asians and other minorities is telling. And I don't think Jews like them too much either. The Anti-Defamation League has slammed them continuously for their Nazi imagery at their rallies. You see older, middle-aged people overwhelmingly in greater numbers than young people. These were all the demographics that elected Obama. I don't have the tallies on Roman Catholics at Tea Parties, another group that broke away and voted for Obama by 70%, but I'd be interested to know. So, who exactly are they polling? I'm Hispanic and the only thing I was ever polled on was if I used liquid detergent or powder. I don't think they're a movement at all. It's like Bill Maher said: they're a cult.

[Rozlee]

6. Oh, sonofagun! Why didn't I think of this before? My money problems are over!

Picture it! I've got you're sign: BROWN PERSON WILL RENT HERSELF TO TEA PARTY.

[Political_Junkie]

8. LOL,

you'd be famous!

[Jackpine Radical]

32. Crap. Some people have all the luck.

"Old fat bald white guy for rent" won't get me very far with that crowd.

[Dave From Canada]

7. I think the diversity of the tea party groups probably depends on which state you look at. Some

tea party groups are all white, but some from certain states tend to be a bit more diverse. But still not by that much.

[Jim__]

10. When the hispanic woman speaks, they put up English.

I didn't see them put up English when anyone else speaks. But the English they put up for her is not a translation of what she says. Do they know that?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. I only know a few words of Spanish-

- but I heard at least one I didn't see translated. Any Spanish speakers care to tell us what she really said?

[SilasSouleII]

36. They didn't think it would be translated

The Hispanic lady say's "Que eres Kieth Olbermann, estupido?" that translates to "What are you Kieth Olbermann, stupid?"

[gateley]

17. I think it's supposed to be humorous (and I found it to be) -- kind of

Onion-ish.

[AtheistCrusader]

23. Help a brother out

what does she say then? I can do math, and know a few verbs and nouns, nothing that's helping me out with this.

[Jim__]

46. "What are you Kieth Olbermann, stupid?" - from post #36 - n/t

[chelsea0011]

11. I hope Keith takes them up on their offer. And interviews all the hispanics

and AA. His show will be 10 minutes long.

[gateley]

18. That would be a score! I bet you're right -- let's see how many

really show up!

[Dave From Canada]

33. In Texas, probably a lot.

[CLANG]

37. His life would be in real danger from those nutbaskets

[Capitalocracy]

12. I like how they advertise themselves with misspelled signs

that of course proves their populism and diversity... the stupid are more than welcome

[davidhilton]

13. So all the video's and photo's of the tea party gatherings are false?

Lets get real here, every teabaggin vid and photo i've viewed i've counted maybe 1 or 2 blacks at the most.
If the baggers want to call out msnbc for having an all-white line up, ok, i'll accept that, however don't
lie about the tea-partiers having an ethnically diverse group - you have no proof.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

14. I've been to a teabag rally...

...Didn't see any black people there. Now, I'm sure that out of however many million black people there are in this country they were able to find one that they could trot out to do their little video- hell, even the Nazis were able to find Jews to work for them- but one man does not a movement make. Show me a teabag rally where takes me less than 30 minutes to spot a second black face (paid speakers/performers don't count) and maybe I'll consider this as something besides pure propaganda, but until then...

[Divine Discontent]

43. LOL!! You are so right, thanks for this post. Because, I can just picture these people going

"Oh oh oh! we can get Carla to do the Spanish lady part!", "oh yeah, good idea!"

LOL...

Trust me, non-whites stick out at these things because there's literally a couple out of a thousand. LOL, sorry, when I say thousand, I mean if you group together the attendance at 10 events! ;) (that's for Palin!)

[quantass]

47. Hahahaha - "Even the Nazis could find jews to work for them." Good line. Nice points.

[juxtaposed]

16. I thought it was well done too, but a little misleading

I may have posted these links before, but these are sets of tea party protests in Tampa. I tried to shoot everyone that attended. It really isn't as diverse as they would like you to believe.

20. Reply

Keith never said that the tea baggers were incapable of getting people of color to spew their venom. By the way, after Obama became president did the RNC pick Steele to be their head simply because he was the most qualified person for the job? Just askin.....

[AsahinaKimi]

21. Meh! I didn't see any Asians...

They could'nt find any? hahaha (Thats cause we know better!) Besides...THEIR tea sucks!

[Grassy Knoll]

28. Now that's funny....Their tea sucks, HA n/t

[ScottLand]

24. Next month we'll see the video of the auditions for that video.

[vaberella]

25. Well they have a valid point. Secondly, those people look like actors. n/t

[Touchdown]

26. Not only did they edit Keith's question about gay people out...

but lumped gay person Rachel Maddow in with the white guys.

Yeah! You got MSNBC there!:rofl:

[hmorehead]

27. Crap. Foxes own "news" film proves Ken correct.

[Rozlee]

34. The young woman that all you guy are oogling is one of the leaders

I can't think of her name, but I've seen her featured a few times. They trot her out every time they want a brown person in front of the camera. As for the rest of those other guys: they looked like actors to me. Couldn't they even get real black or brown Tea Partiers? They had to go to Central Casting? I actually think it's hilarious. I'd like to see if Keith digs around and finds out anything about it all.

[Styxiv]

35. One thing

Not mentioned by anyone here is, while this Tea Party video shows the all white MSNBC lineup (insinuating) you talk diversity so where's you minority show. well tell me how many BLACK commentators does Fox have on it OPINION shows NOT the news shows. Is BECK black?, Hannity? Fox and Friends? O'Rielly? Greta? Which ones?

Think the POINT of this is just exactly what percent is minority? Black, Asian, Hispanic? And why is it you never see many of them? EVEN when Fox covers them. I'm sure as Kieth even points out they are upset too (they're not all Democrats after all to be sure)yet you don't see a lot. And speaking of Hispanic what was the point of her doing her part in Spanish? Are we in Mexico or America?

[SnakeEyes]

42. Only ones I can think of...

Mark Lamont Hill, a Democrat, and that right wing female whose name I can't recall right now.

[motorcityliberal]

38. blah blah

I wonder how much did they pay the "diverse" people to speak in this videos? Funny the girl in the video didn't address the overwhelming racist or violent signs you see at these peaceful tea party functions,I would like for her to address that fact. Another point they overlook they claimed it's not political where were they from 2003 to mid 2008 where George W. Bush and his GOP cronies in congress spent money like teenage girls with a new credit card?

[seattle_blue]

39. Happy to welcome you to the DU

I went to your blog spot and thought it was fantastic!!!! Welcome!

[motorcityliberal]

54. Thank you

Thanks for the welcome, but I also want to encourage people to visit my buddy over at "The Conservative Media(don't worry it's a progressive blog)" but back to the subject the vast majority of the people that attend the tea party events are white.. If I took a glass of fresh water and dump it in the ocean has the ocean become a body of fresh water because I dump a glass of fresh water? Hell no it's still salt water, because you see a hand full of people of color that happen to be in a crowd it's still doesn't make it a diverse crowd. I'm hopeful Keith Olbermann address these numb nuts tonight.

[Bluesbreaker]

40. Actually, not a bad spot

Hey, credit where credit's due. Olberman should take them up on the invitation.

44. How much did the Hispanic go for? As much as for the Black guy?

I think that we ought to check into this and make sure the Black guy wasn't being paid more that the Hispanic cutie. Republicans have a history of underpaying women since they are inferior beings.

[DWilliamsamh]

45. I'm no tea partier..and mostly think 90% of them are nuts...BUT

That was a good response. He challenged them, and they showed him the folks he said were "absent." That is debate.

[quantass]

49. If i could hook up with that LATINA, sign me up (till I tap that) & parade me like the PALIN BABY!

[spiritual_gunfighter]

50. I am still not convinced

I've never seen people of color in these teabagger crowds but I have never seen people of color in the MSNBC line up either, even Jesse Jackson has pointed this out.

[Neutralator]

51. I lived in Dallas...most of these multicultural people are usually bible thumpin Christian nutcases.
