    Tea Party movement has no racial boundaries--African Americans as guest speakers.

    How many times have we heard that the tea party movement in this country is for white only? That African Americans are not there. Well, the below video is proof that the Tea Party movement includes every American that has grown very weary of our big spending--expansive federal government--including African Americans.

    Well, I hope they live up to the high standards of the Democratic elite and speak so well one could forget they were black for an hour or two.

    Yeah this shit was funny as hell back when the story broke. I remember the clip from MSNBC where they zoomed in on his pants, refusing to show his face, and were talking about angry white people with guns, then on Fox they showed the entire clip and it was a black guy. That was some seriously funny shit. Shows that "liberal bias" in action. Now in this situation, who is truly "Faux News".

    Re: Tea Party movement has no racial boundaries--African Americans as guest speakers.

    Olbermann's question is easy to answer. He thinks that the fact that there are so few blacks in the Tea Party movement proves that is racist is neglecting a very simple fact...racism is a two way street. Are blacks that braindead that they are so completely of one mind to, basically, have a full consensus with there vote for Obama? Or is it more likely that there is a pervasive racist theme among the black community?

    This doesn't mean that there is no white racism in the Tea Party but that isn't why they exist and that aspect is being weeded out as the movement matures.

    First they came for the mimes, and I did not speak out, because I was a mime.

    What exactly does the Tea Party want? Their goals are not clear. Obama has already sponsored and signed legislation to lower taxes on the average working person.

    How about some representation to go with the taxation. How about actually sending the lobbyists packing so we can have at least a glimmer of hope that this could actually be a govt of the people.

    The tea party is the dumbest group of idiots in the political arena. They have no clue what they want and they support people who are doing exactly the things they rant against and oppose people who are helping them. There is nothing else to say.

    What their dumb asses vote in November. Have you ever considered that the DUMB people are the ones who willingly watch themselves taxed to tears and say nothing as their money is systematically wasted? Dumb is when you don't care if you are unrepresented. Dumb is when you believe in hyper-optomisitc fairy tales because they just sound so damn good. Dumb is when you begin to believe that you government can take better care of you than you can yourself.

    Dumb is when you refuse to consider all opponents in a race.

    Just because you don't know what they want, due to gross ignorance, doesn't mean that they don't. Sure they aren't of one mind on all things but neither is the Democrat or Republican parties. Please don't project your own feelings onto other people.
