Divide & Conquer Dept.
The headline that "Michelle Obama rouses NAACP before vote condemning 'racist' elements of Tea Party" abcnews.go.com gets me to thinking someone's wife is grabbing headlines in an effort to switch attention away from a couple of wars, a gulf disaster, and the imminent arrival of new & higher taxes.
Since claims of 'racism' is an emotionally 'hot' topic, it may work, too, but the cynical observer could be tempted to pass this off as 'issue creation' - another way to keep America divided and conquered.
"Racist elements" doesn't name names, or give examples, does it? Nope...just whips people up and stampedes them into a new divide (replete with new labels) where there may not have been one before. Seriously: I spent about a half hour looking for a specific example of the claimed 'racist elements' and damned if I could find one.
Don't know why the MSM doesn't ask for concrete examples, either, especially when such emotionally hot language is used, but that'd ruin a dandy issue switcher, wouldn't it? And that wouldn't fit the MSM/PTB agenda of keeping America divided and conquered. So ,bring on them sweeping generalizations and don't question assumed "facts", OK?

In the larger context, this is a splendid example of how the "Me, Me, Me" paradigm is playing a couple of 'Me" groups against one another in an attempt to keep the new "Us, Us, Us" paradigm from arising any faster. Such are socioeconomic transitions, the Hegelian Dialectic, en.wikipedia.org orchestrated ever-so-sweetly by our centralized & controlled of mass media.
