Blatant Tea Party Racism. Or "If It Walks Like A Duck…"

I had a friend who’s father told the following joke in the middle of a restaurant:

Why is aspirin white?
You want it to work, don’t you?

That’s racism.

The Tea Party wants us all to believe that they are not racist, that they dislike President Obama because of his policies, not his skin color. Or his name. Or his upbringing. Grady Warren, Tea Party member, wannabe presidential candidate and avid sportsman (hunting and pretending to use kittens as shark bait), has been front and center over the past week, because of some videos he made. I refuse to put links to them in this article; if you want to watch and listen to the vile, hateful, racist language this man spews, Google them yourself. I will, however, share a few quotes from the videos. The following is Warren speaking directly to President Obama, in the off chance that President Obama will take time out of his day to browse You Tube:

“You have declared war on the white man in America-putting the wants and needs of the moochers, leeches, looters and criminals ahead of the producers and the workers of America. And we don’t want 15 to 20 million illiterate Mexicans and Chicanos as our new welfare society, living like rats in our neighborhoods.”

[Let me point out that numerous attempts have been made to contact the Tea Party and Tea Party Express, asking them if they condone Warren and his racism. So far, one PR firm has responded to a journalist by completely ignoring the question. ]

Here Warren gives his perspective on the Black Caucus:

“Barack Hussein Obama. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.”

(I have no idea why he makes this odd noise at the beginning of every video. Maybe he is having a KKK moment of ecstasy.) cont:

“And Ben Jealous of the NAACP, John Conyers, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel and the other nigra race pimps out there.”

Nigra. John Conyers, a war hero, is a “nigra”. But the Tea Party is not racist, nor does it condone racism. Riiiiight.

More on Warren’s enlightened views about African Americans:

“Now, blacks, they only make up 13% of the population, but somehow, they make up 45% of the city, state and federal jobs. And we wonder why the government doesn’t work.”

Aspirin.

Here’s some facts about African Americans and federal jobs:

African Americans make up 17.4% of the federal workforce, and 10.1% of the civilian workforce. However, as the pay grades increase, the percentages go down:

27.6%-GS 1-4
25.8%-GS 5-8
15.7%-GS 9-12
10.9%-GS 13-15
6.9% Senior pay levels

Not all, and if fact a very slim minority of the tea party, is racist, but they have not done enough to decry the small but vocal minority in their ranks.

Please, let us debate as friends rather than argue as enemies.

Excellent post, Dr, Reid! Representative Charles B. Rangel is also a war hero, and I don't think he received his Purple Heart and Bronze Star by stopping to check his fellow soldiers' skin color.

Ignorance abounds and this person is the epitome of it!

Thank you for this, Dr. Reid.
