>>All the NAACP is asking is for the Tea Sippers to say, at a major rally, that is not their party's stance. So far, no takers.<< when the democrats publicly state at a major rally that they aren't all about attempting to sexually assault massage therapists... and republicans publicly state at a major rally that they aren't all about reaching under bathroom stalls looking for gay sex... BUT NOBODY ASKS FOR THAT! why? here's why... market-ticker.denninger.net they've identified the FINANCIAL CRIMINALS that the media would like to protect - since the media is owned by the financial criminals! there is no racism in any of these videos... there is a big finger pointed at the criminals on wall street and the federal reserve criminal system. youtube.com rawstory.com but when the establishment keeps out a black woman on a minor, recently enacted technicality (probably designed to limit competition in the first place)... that's no problem. huffingtonpost.com it isn't race nearly as much as trying to paint a political point of as racist. classic ad hominem. can't debate the issues, so attack the messenger. right in to karl denninger and call him a racist. i'd love to see his response to your absurd accusation for all to see. you won't, though, because you know you can't defend it. you want to keep the ad hominem vague and general. now, i don't support any political party carte blanche because, unlike most, i reserve the right to think for myself and voice my own opinion instead of the "party line." the tea party, like all parties, has elements i do not like. i DO NOT like the focus on demonizing the poor as greed bags when wall street tycoons are the real damaging greed bags. as you see from the videos, the early tea partiers understood this and went after the true greed demons - the wall street / fed criminal cartel. the welfare system was allowed by the debt pushers on wall street in order to make people dependent on uncle sugar and unable to resist the will of big brother. in addition, they use the media to deflect the criticism that is due to the criminals controlling government onto the poor - one big psy-ops and the people fall for it. but wholesale calling the tea party racist is a tacit admission you can't defend their anti-fed, anti-wall street banking cartel positions... so you just call them racist in order to change the subject. that's why the media does it... they know who controls their pay check. does dylon ratigan really believe what he says... or was he told to say it in order to keep his job? i bet the latter.

perhaps the real question is why is MSNBC's political newscasters so racist... where are the black people with political shows on MSNBC? b/c they are racist, that's why! -lol- it is a b* when anti-logic bites back. ---------------------------------------------------- Blind As A Bat My column, in fact, did examine that issue. I cited and linked to two different YouTube videos of black men who proudly spoke at last September’s Tea Party rally in Washington, D.C., and were very warmly received. How many blacks were in the audience? My colleague, Cliff Kincaid, who covered the protest and took pictures of it, saw some blacks in the crowd, although he didn’t count them. It’s a safe guess that the number of blacks at the 9-12 demonstration was short of the black percentage of the general population. But what does that prove? Such a gap doesn’t prove that the people who did show up were racists, or that the theme of the protest was racist in nature. In fact, the theme was anti-Big Government. And to repeat-the organizers actually did pick blacks to be speakers. By contrast, Olbermann and the other white faces on MSNBC-TV were deliberately picked by Jeff Zucker and the other suits that run the network. They did not pick one black face to host a political talk show. Olbermann’s response on the Daily Kos was that he has blacks on his show as guests. This is a variation of the “some of my best friends are black” routine. This kind of response is what adds to the perception among some conservatives that Olbermann just cannot be taken seriously. It also helps explain why his routines have become the subject of jokes on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Daily Show.” Assuming that he is serious, however, one can take a look at the home page of MSNBC-TV and find that it shows 10 white faces and no people of color who host or co-host their own shows on the network. To paraphrase Olbermann, “Where are the people of color on MSNBC-TV?” aim.org ha ha ha... msnbc got called out for their racism and so they had to put a light skinned woman in their line up - not sure of her back ground, though... msnbc.msn.com WHERE ARE THE BLACK MEN AT MSNBC? obviously, not very welcome! oh, nobody cares b/c their POLITICS are correct. hmmmmm... ad hominem... We are anxiously waiting for the day when Olbermann will resign his seat at the network and open up the position for a person of color. That way, he can actually do something about racism, instead of just talking about it. -lol-
