Racism vote saddens local tea party

The NAACP will decide today if it should condemn the national Tea Party for racism, but the First Coast Party says this action is unwarranted.

"It's sad that they are using the racist card again," says Co-Founder Billie Tucker.

The party has come under fire because some of its members have taken radical action, including degrading minorities. Tucker says bad decisions made by people within the group do not represent the choices of the party overall. She says minorities play an important role in achieving the Tea Party's goals.

"This has nothing to do with being black, it has nothing to do with being white, it has to do with people being forced into slavery again in this country by big government," she says.

1. I guess we should take stock of the sheer volume of minorities seen at tea bag rallies

3. Less than you saw at the last Repug convention

besides, fascists well-wealthy connecteds don't have a great
civil rights record.

Their idea of civil liberties is freedom to exploit.

2. He told the truth. Minorities DO play a huge part in achieving tea party goals

Every insane movement needs scapegoats. Targets. Somebody to blame.

5. "She says minorities play an important role in achieving the Tea Party's goals"

Which explains the reason for the vote.

6. Teabaggers do understand that-

We didn't kidnap people from Africa and bring them over here and then make them pay taxes. I really don't think they have a firm grasp on what slavery is.

7. "...forced into slavery again..." Last I heard, the IRS wasn't loading up semis

and cattle cars 5 people to a square foot with no food or water and hauling them off to DC.
