We all know that if it had been Biden/Obama rather than Obama/Biden...

There would have never been a Tea Party movement to speak of.

And yet some people still want to tell us it didn't flower from the cesspool of racism. LOL.

1. Although I'm a Biden lover, and I believe a BIG part if this is racism, the Republicans

were whipping up this frenzy of fear even before Obama won, weren't they?

[emulatorloo]

3. True - There were Wacko Libertarians and Birchers long before there was an

Obama.

The thing was though, the media treated them as fringe kooks. Seemed to want to "mainstream" them now for some reason. . .

2. And Hitler never hated the Jews

he just wanted to help them disappear.

4. Yes there would have been! The fact of the VPs skin color would

have caused it, to be sure. You assume that because he is POTUS, that is the reason. Wrong. Reason has no place at the table for teabaggers...just hate for liberals & minorities.

5. I agree there's racism in this, but were you too young to remember 1992? nt

[Toucano]

6. No doubt racism moves the TEA party. But don't kid yourself.

You do remember what the did to Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990's don't you?

They're not black people.

Biden at the top of the ticket would have suffered a different pile of shit. But there would have been shit all the same.

[Naturyl]

9. Agreed

I don't dispute that.

[stray cat]

7. Since the republicans would likely hold the presidency you are right

[xchrom]

8. This is a cynical, calculated racism - an in your

Face abrasive as sandpaper racism.

But generally speaking? The days of Helms, Wallace,
Etc are over - and
Not even the point past being ugly as sin.
