If the Tea Party is racist, it’s going to come as a big surprise to these guys

Why, slap us naked if Nate Whigham and Herman Cain aren’t black. What the hell are they doing supporting the Tea Party?

We have two choices:

Either they’re self-loathing blacks or they’re good American citizens who care about what’s happening to their country.

We know which one we believe.

  • I get called a racist all the time, because I oppose tax and spend big government. I used to always say that if Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams would run for President, I would vote for them. Now I can add Herman Cain. Nate could be VP. His speaking skills could use a little polishing, but he beats hell out of Biden.

    • i REALLY wish i lived in his district, just so i could vote for him.

      i still support his campaign though, he had me at "running through hell with a gas can"

    • in order to protect my non existent reputation, i need to inform the guy who thumbs down me that my post was a joke, let me break it down:

      i said "one words"
      "one" singular
      "words" plural
      see what am getting at here?
      then i made sure to use two words (separated by a period) to further contradict myself.

      this is has been poorly dissected joke anatomy 101, i look forward to never teaching you again.

      • How about "poorly written jokes, 101? First, you said "one words." One being singular, words being plural. Once you screw up the set up for a joke, the punch line becomes useless. Then you repeated the mistake in the reply. We look forward to your never teaching us again, also.

        • boy am i on a roll

          seriously lester, what the hell? thats the joke
          its like youve never seen me comment on this site.

  • I always enjoyed it when Herman Cain filled in for Neal Boortz. I enjoyed it even more when the two were bantering together.

    • I have heard him fill in for Quinn & Rose, as well as Hannity, & he's good. He also has an excelent track record in the restaurant buisiness with Burger King & Godfather's Pizza. He would make an excelent economic advisor to anyone who would become President, but that will not happen under Obama.

  • I don't seem to remember race being at the forefront of EVERYTHING when Bush was president......

    Thanks Oblamea, for uniting America.

  • I'm sorry to criticize but, "slap us naked" "self-loathing blacks"? These were seriously unnecessary.

    Instead, I would think that simply stating "they’re good American citizens who care about what’s happening to their country" who are (pick one - black, African-American [sounds divided if you ask me], people of color).

    And I was gratified to hear Nate Whigham say that there were some signs of racism (from a few) at the beginning of the movement but that it was addressed and rejected. To hear the liberals tell it, that is a lot of what you see and, considering that race has NOTHING to do with my thoughts on the matter, I would be very disheartened if it were true.

    But apparently, name calling is what liberals do when they have no intelligent argument to offer.

  • To be called a racist in the liberal's vernacular is an honor. "Racist" is now one who believes:

    • Equal opportunity does not necessarily mean equal outcome
    • Expanding federal government is antithesis to liberty
    • In federal government operating within Constitutional constraint
    • In the rejection of socialism
    • In Freedom

    Since the current administration rejects all the above, a "racist" is one who rejects the current administration.

    But to those who still adhere to the antiquated definition of racist, remember this:

    We are concerned AMERICANS. Only bigoted fools and an agendized media could confuse this with hatred, homophobia, or racism!

  • I have talked to a lot of Blacks and Latinos about the Current state of Race relations. They often understand whats at the Heart of the issues better than most Liberals do. I believe there will be a Growing contingent of Black, Latino and Asian 'Tea Party' attendees and voters in the coming years.

    The Tea Party should be a Melting Pot of everything that is Right and Decent in this Country. And also completely Color Blind.
