I don't know who you are talking about.

Are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton attending Tea Partys?

You gotts give me some names before I could even attempt to answer that.

Doesn't really matter anyway. You aren't one the let get facts in the way. You got your mind made up.

that is the most absurd "logic" I've ever read on the Internet, and that's saying a lot. LOL LOL

yep, just keep quiet about neo-nazis and they'll go away too. oh my god! what in the world would make you think that ignoring white supremacists would make them go away?

But being a gangster is not a function of race.

Being born in Kenya is not a function of race.

Most commies are white, but again, communism is not a function of race.

If people at these events have said these things it still isn't about race.
Being born in Kenya is a function of ethnicity and nationality, and many people often confuse both with race. What do any of those things mentioned have to do with taxes? Why on earth would someone who is against high taxes call Obama a gangster or claim that his parents abandoned him? Do tell

Keep pointing and screaming and just like a little child they will realize they just need to keep doing what they are doing to get your attention.
more "logic" I see. LOL of course you know that david duke and his pals have been working hard over the past few years to change the "image" of white supremacists, which means that the last thing they would do is make fools of themselves. The "new image" of the white natioanlist - white supremacist is that of the local Rotary club. The internet has unearthed a whole new bunch of white racists who for years were "in the closet" but now have found so many new friends.

This is something you can't have "both ways." You have to stand up AGAINST the white supremacists, or your silence helps them. that simple. maybe their $$$$ helps local teaparty groups?

You know exactly what I'm talking about. But don't worry about it. I'll take your evasiveness as simply an instance of willful ignorance on your part.

Thanks for playing.

Have any of the people that give speeches at these events talked about Obama being born in Kenya?

Liberals always say Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh are the leaders of the Tea Party. None of them believe he was born in Kenya.

I don't know why people would call him a gangster. I'm still trying to figure out why people said George Bush was a Nazi.

Maybe they think that by raising taxes the feds are stealing money. Like a gangster. That could be a possibilty.

Why do people think that Bush was working with the oil companies to raise energy prices. Yet, the same people are silent when Obama says he is going to raise energy prices? "Necessarily skyrocket" I believe he said.

Because the Teabaggers implicitly agree with them, they just know that acknowledging it is bad publicity.
