Subjekt: Re:

(V): You might have missed actually reading that post. There is NO MENTION of racism "in the Tea party" as you falsely claim.

Is so, where?

Artful Dodger: "Despite my attempts to convince Dad otherwise, based on my personal experiences attending over two hundred tea parties across America traveling on Tea Party Express, Dad persists in believing the rallies are racist. Dad believes all criticism of Obama and his agenda is racist. It appears that no amount of truth will penetrate the wall of affection Dad has for the historic figure he never imagined would exist in his lifetime.
Out of respect, I have not confronted Dad, my hero, regarding his irrational support for a president whose agenda so radically goes against his Christian faith — gay marriage, abortion, the murderous partial birth abortion, etc."

As I said.. the first mention of there being any racism/racist motives behind the Tea party was through you on this board.

Can't you read, or are you just quibbling over the words racist and racism?? I know one ends in a 't' and one ends in a 'm'... but picking over that is just pettifogging.

(V): Nope. As usual you miss the point. There is no mention of racism in the tea party. On the contrary, the author says there isn't.

(V): There is no evidence presented in that article that would lead anyone (except you) to conclude a link between the Tea Party and racism. On the contrary, the older gentleman, having experienced REAL RACISM in his life, couldn't believe a bunch of 'whites' at rallies wouldn't have racist agendas. That in and of itself is racism. The whole point of the article (that you choose to misread) was that racism wasn't present in the Tea Party. As you always do, you twist things and misrepresent.

Artful Dodger: I said originally..."The first mention of racism in the Tea party on this board is by......"

I wasn't saying there was a real link.. (as you keep twisting it into)

"REAL RACISM....couldn't believe a bunch of 'whites' at rallies wouldn't have racist agendas. That in and of itself is racism."

I think it's more a case of bad memories.

"was that racism wasn't present in the Tea Party."

No members at all are racist.. I doubt that very much. But in itself that it is not a statement saying the Tea Party is a racist movement.

"As you always do, you twist things and misrepresent."

No, you are just being a Drama queen over the matter... which is your problem. Don't expect me or others to 'confirm' it for you.
