Is the Tea Party racist?
Do ducks quack?
Considering how much effort the Tea Party is putting into PR to counter the charge of racism against them, you would think they might have checked the websites run by the organizations of which they are composed.

National Tea Party Federation and Racism
by Rotten Orchard
Tue Jul 27, 2010 at 01:15:17 AM EDT
The National Tea Party Federation’s list of members can be seen here.
Their statement on the NAACP’s criticism and on race in general:
… we emphatically deny that their are existing Tea Party racist leaders based upon the facts. Those facts being no one inside the Tea Party Movement can identify any person fitting the parameters the NAACP announced. Further, we challenge the NAACP to identify those leaders or those bona fide Tea Party Groups publicly taking a racist position or making racist statements. The Tea Party Groups do not sponsor, support, encourage or even ignore racists.
Where can one go to find out whether the NTPF’s positions are possibly extremist and/or bigoted?
For anyone seeking the mission of these movements one needs to look no further than their websites.
OK, can do.
- Rotten Orchard’s diary :: ::
Reverse blackface “Bobo The Clown”
Promoting Breitbart
Part of a Grand Jury to accuse Obama of “Fraud and Treason.”
Joke blog posting about Muslims.
Natural Born Citizen … “there is no possible way for BHO to be our president.”
Racial ProfilingTed Nugent For President … wow.
Guantanamo BayThe Aitken Tea Party seems to be connected to The Original Tea Party of Minnesota, which was formed by this guy. His positions are as follows:
Boycotting Best Buy for their Muslim war on Christmas.
“you can’t take the Ghetto out of the organizer”
All people who protest are defacto illegal immigrants?
Islam is on a quest for world domination.
“Islam is taking over the UK – are we next?”Various comments on whites, blacks, and the lazy and self-centered.
Kagan is a “stealth candidate”… because she supported school desegregation.
Government raids on militias are unconstitutional.
Those who rely on government aid are “parasites.”
Political correctness is being shoved down his throat. (I’d say there’s little evidence of that based on his Internet posts).
Racial profiling isn’t racist… “it is the only way to keep America safe.”Democrats are the party of racism, and other various comments on race.
“We’ll take away… his dignity at the tea party” (So that’s part of the purpose of the Tea Parties?)
“Will O give up going gangsta”
“Gestapo and SS officers to intimidate US citizens into giving up more freedoms.”Oath Keeper, militia hero, and co-author with white supremacist “Sheriff Mack a Hit at 4/15 Event!”
Led by the head of the Desert Cities Minutemen, a nativist extremist group.
What exactly is their problem with liberals being anti-racism and anti-homophobia?
“When will your Caucasian progressive pals stop using leftie ‘social justice’ minority groups to do your bidding?
Tip: If you can only think of one adjective to describe a black politician, it’s better to remain silent than use “articulate.”What exactly was it about Lebron James that made you think he wouldn’t be like the rest of “us?”
“Every once in awhile, someone comes along and uses just the right words to describe a situation. This is it.”
“The majority of people coming over now are people we need to be worried about.”Obama has a “hazy personal background.”
On Clinton: “nobody ever, ever doubted his good-old-boy American bonafides.”
Obam’s distinguished service in Kenya.“The Democratic Party – The Party of the Four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation, and now Socialism
Obama is anti-semitic.Obama is implementing a “crazed minority quota.”

Obama intends to “lower decorum to a baser level” (than GWB?!? Really?)
“Birth Certificate” will be an epiphany
“Obama is going to Saudi Arabia… The Hadj, perhaps?”
“Obama, what’s up? Wouldn’t mideast envoys with less “Jewish” sounding names be more readily accepted?”
Obama will turn healthcare over to unions, Acorn, Soros… asdf (labor, blacks, jews).With Macaca Allen.
Note: The NAACP doesn’t owe the Tea Party or anyone else a statement on the New Black Panthers.
Obama a closet muslim? “no prayer and deeeep bow…Hmm”
Color of Change akin to terrorists?
Note: If you want us to believe that you don’t support their signs about slavery, don’t feature them on your website.“Sotomayor’s confirmation will mark a defining moment… the end of equality for all men!!”
His views on Michael Jackson“Please listen to the following for the two clips…”
Note: The woman in the video says she’s glad Obama won and it makes her feel as though she won’t have to be so worried about gas and house payments, and they turn it into that.
Obama admits he is a Muslim
“Our Founding Fathers built this country on 28 powerful principles“A little background info about the local leaders and the various fascinating opinions of the head of the national Constitution Party, Chuck Baldwin.
Supporters of the healthcare bill are mercenaries.
Protest signs featured in videos produced by the group:
We came unarmed, this time
Taxation proves that slavery was not abolished
Obama is fascist, ACORN is a criminal enterprise
ACORN, bringing prostitution to a neighborhood near you
Is that George Allen again?They really, really, really, really, really approve of Joe Wilson’s unprecedented behavior.
He demands to see that birth certificate!

Obama is a “hood” who is “robbin”people.
Still defending the statements Rush made about a black quarterback that got him fired from ESPN. Really? Still?
Promoting Rush’s view that Sotomayor is a racist.Yup, it’s the brother/sister team again.
And they really support the crusade of this guy, and this guy.
Featuring a John Birch Society video
Featuring the woman who posted this video. Note the discrepancy between what Rubin said and what she claims he said.
Blogger claims recorded audio of their meeting in which they promote racial profiling limited to Spanish speaking countries, Asia, and Africa… and want to deny citizenship to children born in the country to illegal immigrants. Note: this is 2nd hand information.
Events organized by a member of the National Board of Directors for Oath Keepers.
- LAREDO TEA PARTY PATRIOTS
In their official response to the NAACP, they claim the NAACP doesn’t embrace people regardless of color, race, religion, gender, or political affiliation. They do.
Sponsored an event featuring NumbersUSA, a group denounced by the SPLC. LULAC, the oldest Latino civil rights organization in America, protested the event and forced the university hosting it to drop NumbersUSA from the schedule.
Also, “The Kenyan Has to Go!”Yup, that guy.
Tip: If you’re organizing a protest of the first black president’s administration and you come from a place called Lynchburg, don’t start a drive to send ropes to elected officials as a symbol of your anger: Got Rope?
It was the media’s fault George Allen is a racist.
“it is time for corporate America to wake up and give a good, hard tug on the leash.”Cities (with large black populations) are “rat holes.”
Obama is championing “reparations” for blacks.What happened to America? “One word- “diversity.”

“Racism is being promoted by Obama and his black pawns. Wakeup”
“Obama should be impeached for sowing seeds of racism”
Tells Obama to go back to Africa.America should thank British Petroleum
The “soon to be mayor” calls John “the leader” in the video.
Obama’s “questionable heritage.” I strong recommend everyone follow the link and read his entire rant. I would also recommend everyone visit John’s LinkedIn page (he’s a big-whig) and go watch the 2nd half of the video mentioned above. It gives a very clear picture of how elites in the Republican party are really running the show, and how cynically they’re using the base with their rhetoric.“I say term limit and age limit to even run! We don’t need the dumb young candidates… and we sure as hell don’t need these dotey old…”
Posting comments on white supremacist-connected biker gang websites.
“Ummm… what about the white guys?”
Support Rand Paul’s position on the Civil Rights Act.Gay marriage is a slippery slope to pedophilia
Tip: When you realize you may be spouting hate speech and bigotry, your response shouldn’t be “that’s too bad.”
Taxes are slavery. Tip: No, slavery is slavery.
Promoting the statement that Islam is arrogant and insensitive.Breitbart operative
Led by a stealth candidate for the Democratic primary in a largely black district who is attempting to infiltrate the party and who claims he’s “no Democrat.”
Refers to the children of illegal immigrants as “anchor babies.”Campaign platform is to make English the official language and to make Islamic laws illegal.
Illegal immigrants are “criminal invaders.”
Obama is the “Enemy within” even if he puts up the Christmas tree at the White House. BEWARE!!!
“we have to overcome Political correctness” (Note: I think you already did)Not being racist is predicated on minorities assimilating to “American” culture.
“Are you ready to get the rifle out, clean it up, and get ready to go to war?”
No foreign flags should be flown in America. Love it or leave it.
“It is time for the noose to come out and justice to prevail!”Promoting bizarre fears of Islamic plans for New York
Promoting the idea that Muslims are good citizens in public but not in private.Mel Gibson is less racist than Eric Holder and Obama, the most concerning racial incidents are those that affect whites, and the most dangerous examples of racism are by a “powerful subset of blacks against whites.” Oh, and that’s their official “position” on the NAACP resolution.
Americans are being enslaved by taxes.
MLK is “100% in alignment with the Tea Party Movement.”

Has a problem with diversityHas a weekly radio show with this guy.
Says their position on race can be understood by reading Ayn Rand’s essay “Racism.”
In it we learn that:
Those who are proud of their diversity have no other virtues to be proud of.
The demands of “Negro leaders” are irrational, outrageous, cynical, shortsighted, and have a contempt for principles.
Racial quotes are one of the worst evils of racist regimes.
Racial quotes demand that white men be penalized for the sins of their ancestors.You can’t forbid racism by law.
“Negroes” are in the vanguard of destroying individual rights.Entitlements are enslavement
Americans should be able to keep what they earn without apology or guilt.un-hyphenated American
“They are Voting Us Into Slavery.”
Obama’s Muslim faith
Fans of H.L. Mencken who said Jews were an “unpleasant race.”
Illegal immigrants are our enemies.
Liberalism is designed to create dependents who will in turn vote for them.Michael Moore is a welfare queen?
Higher government wages are slavery for taxpayers.

They will never be silenced. I guess that includes hate speech?

As a youth pastor, has helped gay teens “come out” of that lifestyle
Qualifies the victimhood of minorities as a “perception.”
Tip: If you want to argue that the Tea Party Express wasn’t the center of your movement, try having more links on your website.CNBC asks for anger, they target the congressman who had a swastika painted on his office and promise a “riot.”
John Birch Society member
Glenn Beck loves em

Tip: Avoid comparing border-crossers to hordes. They aren’t Mongols.
Obama’s “gay” “wrist flipping.”
“CNN blames white folks for BHO lack of oil spill response.” (No, they didn’t “blame” white folks – they said Obama was hesitant to appear angry because historically Americans don’t respond well to angry black men).“Truth is the New Hate Speech”
See Chester Patriots above
“We want to out them and stand up for people like you, Joe” (Joe Wilson)
Tip: Whenever you preface a feature on race on your website by saying “Rush says it perfectly,” you’re in trouble.Obsessed with making “descendents” of welfare recipients pay, and then stealing from them.
Those people near Bobby Scott’s office lack humanity
Rape, brainwashing, Stockholm syndrome… etc. Wow.
Massive race statement failFascist America
“O’s Fascist Army”Final Note: Far be it from me to draw any conclusions from all this. I think that’s a job for the NAACP, our national media, decent mainstream Americans, and David Webb at TEAPARTY365. If he applied the same standard to the rest of the federation that he did to the Tea Party Express, then I think he’s got some very difficult decisions to make in the near future.

Glenn Beck and Fox News
So we all know Glenn Beck is unbalanced, even those who take most of his antics as “loving his country” (sob) “so much” (sob). Some of us think he’s either more than a little unbalanced, which means he’s a mentally ill person being manipulated (did I say this somewhere before) or a total liar and hypocrite. Colbert did a great takedown a la Jon Stewart the other day. I’d show you the original Beck footage it is based on, but you get the idea.

For my foreign readers—the Gaza thing
I know the rest of the world is watching in shock and horror as Israel destroys Gaza and kills civilians with indiscriminate bombing. But even more so, they are perplexed how American can give Israel such unconditional support in what appears so clearly to them to be outright ethnic cleansing.
Here is how it works: A new Rasmussen poll shows that Americans are divided on the issue. Americans in general feel that the Palestinians are to blame, but they do not support the invasion, despite overwhelming bombardment of propaganda from the mainstream media.
Republicans overwhelmingly support it, while Democrats overwhelmingly are opposed. The problem is that our leadership is not divided. It does not represent us, rather unconditionally supporting Israel no matter what Israel has done or decides to do.
So aside from a few individualists who don’t care that standing up for what is right could cost them in their party, our elected representatives have decided not to represent us.
Democrats and Republicans alike, they don’t care what we think or want. This is basically the only issue their behavior is diametrically opposed to the desires of the voting public.
It’s hard to tell what is real and what is not real. On the internet, pro-Israel trolls are overwhelmingly the “voice”. They deny that there have been Palestinian deaths, and as justification for massacring all Palestinians claim a number of Israeli deaths thousands of times what is true. They are anonymous trolls, just as Rush Limbaugh is a troll whose name we know.
Is it the Israel lobby? Or something else? I really don’t know. But I thought it would be good to discuss, since there doesn’t seem to be any rational discussion going on over here.

New York Times Special Edition
The other day a “special edition” of the New York Times dated July 4, 2009—a parody, actually—was printed and distributed in major cities. There was only good news to be seen: end of the wars, health care, etc. At the time I first got the link, the website—a perfect copy of the real NYT site— was not working. Later, only the front page worked, but now all the links are working, so enjoy!

Conveniently dead
Ivins, of course. Bruce E. Ivins, not Molly, who is also dead and sadly missed.
It certainly appears that one researcher working alone could have done all the technical stuff involved with this. They decided that before they spent untold millions of dollars focusing on the wrong guy, who is now $5.2 million richer for the harassment.
Maybe they have evidence proving he was the one who wrote all the little terrorist letters and notes that pointed to Islamic terrorists.
But it’s kind of hard to figure how he could also be the four separate highly-placed officials who were feeding disinformation to ABC during the panic, the network’s broadcasting of which was undoubtedly a major part of the cause of the anthrax panic, as well as the subsequent investigative focus on pinning it on somebody, anybody.
I’d like to rank some of the possibilities, but we have multiple threads here. So it’s not a simple “either/or” situation. Let’s just see what is probable (according to my limited knowledge here) and I’ll suggest alternatives where the probabilities seem to require them.
I’m really only trying to make you think and do your own research, not cover such a vast topic comprehensibly.
- Did Ivins work alone on the Anthrax-handling part of it?
- Could be.
- Did Ivins work alone making and mailing out those terrorist notes and letters?
- Could be.
- Did Ivins carry off the impersonation of four different highly-placed government officials that served up false information to ABC News, which they turned around and fed to the public?
- Nope. Didn’t happen that way.
Okay, so what might have happened?
- Did government officials use this as a cover for disseminating propaganda intended to convince the public Iraq was involved, even though they had no idea what was going on?
- Maybe, but it seems a little far-fetched, considering that the truth might be uncovered at an inconvenient time and come back to bite them.
- Did ABC make up their informants after getting tips from Ivins?
- Now there’s a possibility. How much do I trust the journalistic integrity of ABC? Not a whole lot. Let’s mark that “strongly possible”.
- Did the government participate in the incident fully, guiding the development of propaganda and working to keep the investigation looking in the wrong place, while knowing that if that failed they could probably pin it on him and claim he was a crazy loner? And if worst came to worse, he could be found dead, so as not to turn evidence?
- Umm…He did turn up dead, didn’t he?
This should sound like fiction, but unfortunately it does not sound nearly enough like fiction. Is there anyone working in the current Administration who has no ethics, no limits, and no respect for the American public, someone who might have participated in something like this?
I don’t like “conspiracy theories” that dig deep and throw a wide net in an effort to explain something that has a very simple explanation. But this does not have a simple explanation.
The case is made that this is plausible. In the absence of an apology by ABC for making it all up, I’d have to put my money on the last one. And even if ABC did apologize I’d have to take their apology with a grain of salt, since we have to consider the possibility that they might have been knowingly in on it, too.

Why we went to war
Jon Stewart eviserates Douglas Feith
Sounds a little.Diggish, but it’s true.
Out pimping his book intended to set the record straight, former Bush Administration Under Secretary of State stopped in on one of the few serious media outlets for political discussion—The Daily Show on Comedy Central—and got asked the hard questions that should have been asked within the Administration sometime before this country decided to start a war. Seriously, the buck should stop with every former Administration hack who is now attempting to rewrite history as a disinterested party with no responsibility regarding what took place then and what is going on now.
I suspect that Stewart was probably the first interviewer who actually read the entire book. Certainly authors don’t expect to get grilled by interviewers who are trying to hide the fact that the notes they have in front of them were written by a staffer who may have only skimmed sections of the book.
Watch the two part video and see if you don’t agree with me that Jon Stewart would make the best Vice President we can possibly have in the Obama administration.
