Why is the Tea Party silent about white supremacist groups?
Does the Tea Party support them?

At best, the silence bespeaks willful ignorance; at worst, tacit approval. There is something to say about how a purportedly non-racist atmosphere could be so attractive to white supremacists though.

Kinda like how the "moderate" Muslims keep their mouth shut huh?

You mean those 2 over there?

Silence does not mean acceptance, it means ignore them and they will go away. Why put the spotlight on them and do what they want you to do?

Because we understand that if you keep paying attention to them they will continue to make fools of themselves. Ignore them when they speak, put them in their place when they act outside normal social standards and soon they will either leave us all alone or just disband totally.

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.

The Tea Party has nothing to do with race. It's about not wanting new taxes and new government programs.

The Tea Party started in 2007. We had a white president if you didn't notice.

Why are they silent about Martian invaders and rules of croquet as well? Is there some connection? Your suggestion sounds like the basis for a new "South Park" episode.

Perhaps they are focusing on what is important, like the government take over of the nation, soaring debt, and high unemployment. Tin foil hat liberals with conspiracty theories are way down on the list.
