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.

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.

“we have to overcome Political correctness” (Note: I think you already did)

Not being racist is predicated on minorities assimilating to “American” culture.

Wants more Bush

Has a problem with diversity

45. SONG OF TRUTH

Has 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.

“Truth is the New Hate Speech”

56. WASHINGTON DC TEA PARTY

See Chester Patriots above

57. WE THE PEOPLE AIKEN

Tip: Whenever you preface a feature on race on your website by saying “Rush says it perfectly,” you’re in trouble.

58. YORK TEA PARTY

Those people near Bobby Scott’s office lack humanity

Rape, brainwashing, Stockholm syndrome… etc. Wow.

Massive race statement fail

Fascist 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.

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.

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.

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.
