Jim Dandy: Frankly I haven't read it in it's entirety. It seems that it plays heavily on the use of sarcasm. It seems to me that he was trying to make a point and he didn't chose the best way to do it. But I don't see the ultimate point of your question. If you plan to take this letter and turn it into "see, the Tea Party IS racist" then you are either deceitful or unwillingly ignorant. If you only mean to say that this man used poor judgment to make a point, then I would agree.

I think Williams attempted to make a bigger point but some of the things he wrote could have been taken in ways that seem racist.

But aren't you getting tired of these lazy accusations of racism? The left plays this card so often that when I hear it now, I just smile and say, "there they go again." How predictable.

The Tea Party is NOT a racist organization. And it will take more than one misguided letter to demonstrate a consistent pattern of racism. In fact, you can't demonstrate anything close to that.

But weren't we talking about the Democratic party and their L O N G history of racism in the US? Yes, we were. And history clearly shows that racism was a Democratic behavior. It seems to me you are ignoring all my posts and facts presented and doing what most liberals do: change the subject.

Some will make a big deal of the letter. And maybe they should. But it reflects NOT on the Tea Party as a whole, it reflects on Mark Williams.

That cannot be said of the Democratic party. They were up to their armpits in racist actions.

People might like to point to President Johnson and all the civil rights legislation his administration put forward. But look closer and you will see a politician that realized he could win the "n word" vote by buying them with legislation that only seemed to be steps forward. Johnson admitted to this. "I'll have them damn "n word" voting democratic for 200 years when I'm through." Somewhat paraphrased but that's what he said.

So what about that letter? The left will make it a big deal while their own racist history gets swept under the rug.
