The media is hiding it! The folks on the street can see it. The Tea Partyers are racist! Plain and simple. There is NO excuse for their behavior and media sources like NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, FOX, are all complicit in hiding the real story.
The racism is palatable. Bush generated over 10.4 Trillion in debt in 8 years but yet ... silence from the racist Tea Partyers. It is so bad that a Nashville driver got rear ended by a GOP-man, Harry Weisiger just because he had an Obama-Biden sticker on his car.
Folks like Contessa Brewer of MSNBC and others pretend it is normal political discourse, but we all know that this is not true. What is true is that these corporate news mouthpieces get paid to do as they are told and are thus, in reality no better than Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, or Rush Limbaugh since they promote racism by not telling the real truth about what is happening. Lets put it this way, would you pay Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, or Contessa Brewer (all of MSNBC) any money for the work they do? Not this blogger! But the truth be known, the cable reporters, and to a little extent, network reporters all bend over backwards not to imply that race is part of what is fueling the fake outrage at issues like the Health Care Reform bill.
The media has no intention of stopping the racism. Why? Because they can make billions convincing the masses that calling someone a Fascist, Communist, and Socialist (all contrary to each other) is ok even though the target of the protest is capitalist who serves the country as a Democratic Presidency. . Who is this media: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox of course.
Watch the media. They can't tell the truth if they had to. It is not profitable and thus to them not necessary!

I see the clip you have posted, but it's still photos and close ups of images. How do we know those images came the TEA-PARTY group.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, but we should always question everything people present to the board.
I still haven't found proof of the other thing that happened to the Congressmen.
I was hoping to see some live footage of screaming people holding TEA-PARTY banners saying Nigg@ and Jew slurs. I think you can provide use with at lease a 30 second clip.
We all remember the COINTELPRO. Even our own black people were spreading division in our community.
So you may wonder what's my trip. Well I check facts, double check facts and cross reference sources. I don't trust government, I don't trust any Democrats or Republicans (SAME BIRD) and really don't trust people that claim a religion that says they are the "ONE AND TRUE" religion.
Come On BWP Staff.. Help me out and bring us some irrefutable evidence backed by multiple and various sources.
It's easy if you try.

Yes, yes they are! And thanks for the video proof that tokenism is alive and well in Amerika and, in some quarters, still an effective tool.
My proof below that humor is still an effective tool as well.
Sure there are some Black people at the tea parties! Why Supreme Court Justice Clarence 'Uncle' Thomas and his wife are avid tea baggers! Whats new?

Yes, there are always going to be Black people that side with crazy white folks. These Black folks have a basic negative view of self and do believe that they are second class. Thus we have our Michael Steele's and Clarence Thomas's. There are the same sort of fools that would have turned in Nat Turner back in the day!

Black conservative tea party backers take heat THE ASSOCIATED PRESS • April 7, 2010
ALBANY, N.Y. — They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement - and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.
"I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government.
"Black Republicans find themselves always having to prove who they are. Because the assumption is the Republican Party is for whites and the Democratic Party is for blacks," he said.
Johnson and other black conservatives say they were drawn to the tea party movement because of what they consider its commonsense fiscal values of controlled spending, less taxes and smaller government. The fact that they're black - or that most tea partyers are white - should have nothing to do with it, they say.
"You have to be honest and true to yourself. What am I supposed to do, vote Democratic just to be popular? Just to fit in?" asked Clifton Bazar, a 45-year-old New Jersey freelance photographer and conservative blogger.
Opponents have branded the tea party as a group of racists hiding behind economic concerns - and reports that some tea partyers were lobbing racist slurs at black congressmen during last month's heated health care vote give them ammunition.
But these black conservatives don't consider racism representative of the movement as a whole - or race a reason to support it.
Angela McGlowan, a black congressional candidate from Mississippi, said her tea party involvement is "not about a black or white issue."
"It's not even about Republican or Democrat, from my standpoint," she told The Associated Press. "All of us are taxed too much."
Still, she's in the minority. As a nascent grassroots movement with no registration or formal structure, there are no racial demographics available for the tea party movement; it's believed to include only a small number of blacks and Hispanics.
Some black conservatives credit President Barack Obama's election - and their distaste for his policies - with inspiring them and motivating dozens of black Republicans to plan political runs in November.
For black candidates like McGlowan, tea party events are a way to reach out to voters of all races with her conservative message.
"I'm so proud to be a part of this movement! I want to tell you that a lot of people underestimate you guys," the former national political commentator for Fox News told the cheering crowd at a tea party rally in Nashville, Tenn., in February.
Tea party voters represent a new model for these black conservatives - away from the black, liberal Democratic base located primarily in cities, and toward a black and white conservative base that extends into the suburbs.
Black voters have overwhelmingly backed Democratic candidates, support that has only grown in recent years. In 2004, presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry won 88 percent of the black vote; four years later, 95 percent of black voters cast ballots for Obama.
Black conservatives don't want to have to apologize for their divergent views.
"I've gotten the statement, 'How can you not support the brother?'" said David Webb, an organizer of New York City's Tea Party 365, Inc. movement and a conservative radio personality.
Since Obama's election, Webb said some black conservatives have even resorted to hiding their political views.
"I know of people who would play the (liberal) role publicly, but have their private opinions," he said. "They don't agree with the policy but they have to work, live and exist in the community ... Why can't we speak openly and honestly if we disagree?"
Among the 37 black Republicans running for U.S. House and Senate seats in November is Charles Lollar of Maryland's 5th District.
A tea party supporter running against House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., Lollar says he's finding support in unexpected places.
The 38-year-old U.S. Marine Corps reservist recently walked into a bar in southern Maryland decorated with a Confederate flag. It gave his wife Rosha pause.
"I said, 'You know what, honey? Many, many of our Southern citizens came together under that flag for the purpose of keeping their family and their state together,'" Lollar recalled. "The flag is not what you're to fear. It's the stupidity behind the flag that is a problem. I don't think we'll find that in here. Let's go ahead in."
Once inside, they were treated to a pig roast, a motorcycle rally - and presented with $5,000 in contributions for his campaign.
McGlowan, one of three GOP candidates in north Mississippi's 1st District primary, seeks a seat held since 2008 by Democrat Travis Childers. The National Republican Congressional Committee has supported Alan Nunnelee, chairman of the state Senate Appropriations Committee, who is also pursuing tea party voters.
McGlowan believes the tea party movement has been unfairly portrayed as monolithically white, male and middle-aged, though she acknowledged blacks and Hispanics are a minority at most events.
Racist protest signs at some tea party rallies and recent reports by U.S. Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga., and Barney Frank, D-Mass., that tea partyers shouted racial and anti-gay slurs at them have raised allegations of racism in the tea party movement.
Black members of the movement say it is not inherently racist, and some question the reported slurs. "You would think - something that offensive - you would think someone got video of it," Bazar, the conservative blogger, said.
"Just because you have one nut case, it doesn't automatically equate that you've got an organization that espouses (racism) as a sane belief," Johnson said.
Hilary Shelton, director of the Washington bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, suggested a bit of caution.
"I'm sure the reason that (black conservatives) are involved is that from an ideological perspective, they agree," said Shelton. "But when those kinds of things happen, it is very important to be careful of the company that you keep."

Black conservatives are entitle to their view point, but when that expressed view point attempts to marginalize members of the black community, they should expect the same push back members of other communities (Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics) who work against the community’s interest. Why should they receive a pass? It’s ok for them to besmirch the community as weak, dysfunctional, beholding to a political party, suffering from victimhood, irresponsible, and often used the race card, etc. In contrast do not question their motives they are more open minded.
Now here’s one area where the rubber meets the road. Just a snap shot of the last quarter century while the national debt increased under the Republican/Conservative leadership. Ronald Reagan 1981 - 1985 increased by plus 7.3% Ronald Reagan 1985 – 1989 increased by plus 11.2% George H.W. Bush 1989 – 1993 increased by plus 12.2% Bill Clinton 1993 – 1997 increased by plus 3% Bill Clinton 1997 – 2001 decreased by 9.8% George W. Bush 2001 – 2005 increased by plus 5.6% George W. Bush 2005 -2009 increased by 6.4%
During that quarter of a century black conservatives spoke cricket language. That was their right to not speak out. But I believe even they can concede the perception window here. That being while Caucasian leaders increased the nation debt, nothing said, total support given. The first black president, 12 months at the helm, and they have a problem with his fiscal handling. Again, when something goes wrong most people will not speak out right away, hell some may not speak out for a year or two, maybe even seven. But after a quarter of century and now you find your voice? Gives way to the perception and impression they were afraid to speak out forcefully to the Caucasian about the national debt, but have no problem speaking out in opposition to a black leader---while using the "political" "fiscal" differences as the means of that opposition.
I can only summarize for myself, that they may not be questioned by the community if they on a constant basis showed they are willing to address Conservative/Republican Caucasians, and not with under radar commentary or cases where every quarter is lambasting an individual others are already taken apart.

Yes, people are easily distracted and easily manipulated. That's why we pay attention. That's why we act and react. That's why we talk about it. That's why we post!
Otherwise, the distractions and deceptions have their desired effect.

nappyred giving energy to soundbites and slogans is a very bad plan.
when was the last time the term race was used in its proper context?
who introduced this flawed inaccurate illogical unscientific, unresearched politically biased, term to the social lexicon in the first place?
the last i checked..hussein bolt won first place in the 100 meter RACE.

While I can see that as a valid piece to the puzzle, without suggested alternatives the premise is lacking.

No argument there. However, at this point, we're getting into semantics. A discussion on semanics can be interesting and educational, but an argument based on semantics is fruitless.

nappyred I am not getting into semantics...
In fact I am getting into genetics.
now again....that term race.... In a race there is a first place, second place third place ie a caste system..ie a class system
Im sure you see where Im coming from.
sometimes unless the application of the "words chosen" is understood, and gauged, we will miss the keys even when placed right in front of us.
For example..a television PROGRAM...is designed to program perception. but we watch tv for ENTERTAINMENT mostly...even though we are subjecting ourselves voluntarily to programming...
and it( the program) is working...very well....unfortunately it is working against us.
