All we heard from Neo Progs is that Tea Partiers must be racist since there were only a handful of black people at each rally. Yet, at these Flea Bag rallies, I hardly see any black faces at all. So, why the double standard? Why aren't the fleabaggers being called racist?

Because they've been endorsed by some prominent Democrats.

"I'm not saying all republicans are racist.....but if someone is racist, they're most likely a republican" Lol!

In all seriousness, though, I don't really know how it happened. But as a generalization (remember, humans love those) the right is seen as the rich white man party, and the left is seen as the poor, workers party. I don't agree with this, but it is a prevalent notion to a substantial amount of people.

Logical Fallacy.

Assumption based on a false premise, sweeping generalization, affirmation of the consequent.

Neo Progs accused Tea Partiers of being racist, citing the lack of black people at Tea Party Rallies; usually no more than a dozen or two. Yet these same Neo Progs are silent when there are even less black Americans at these Flea Bagger rallies. If the amount of black people in attendance is the litmus test for racism, why no chastisement from the left? Why the double standard?

Because playing the race card is part of their campaign platform. Always has been always will. Right along side the class warfare page. They can't run on issues so they mud up the water with nonsense and get the stupid vote. That is why you have idiots like Jesse Jr demanding everyone now be hired by the government who doesn't have a job for 40K a year. Yeaaaa they sshout sounds great. Who pays for it? Who cares in their eyes. Gimme gimme gimme is the attitude of these fools. Sadly the children and grandchildren of us all will be left wondering how one generation could be so unbelievably greedy and selfish.
