Z, > The point is that it's a hell of a lot easier to get racists and bigots involved in artificial populist anti-government campaigns than people who aren't racists and bigots, through use of "dog whistles" and other symbolism.

Now you're venturing into left-wing kookville.

The Tea Party movement is a populist campaign that promotes fiscal conservatism. Accusations of racism, "symbolism," and "artificial populism" are nothing more than ad hominem attacks designed to drown out the message and silence the opposition.

Obama's done the racists and bigots that have been hiding in the (R) party and just not affiliated the great favor of being able to come out and oppose a BLACK MAN for (pick any issue) reasons OTHER than being black.
