The tea party movement isn't ONLY about racism.
It's also about classism.

Here's a gem I've copied and pasted from a local tea party website that a member posted (I can't link it b/c it's registration only & wouldn't you know I got banned!):

"A lot of this has to do with people wanting free shit but not wanting to work for it. If the poor want healthcare let them work hard for it. It's a shame that places like Auschwitz sit empty, we could use some of those camps here to force deadbeats to work for what they want and if they won't work for it just fire up the ovens."

2. The New Populism Is Pro-Big Business! Look at Financial Reform...
The new talking point making the rounds is that the financial meltdown and the Toyota recall show that regulation does not work, thus we should deregulate! I actually think that the financial meltdown and long history of inaction on Toyota actually shows the culmination of about a decade of deregulation that needs to be reversed, but the new populist goal is to fight regulation.

We all know that Freedom Works is now accepting corporate donations to deliver a grass roots mobs in support of your corporate goals.

Yes, up is down.

4. What is with CNN and MSNBC? How do they report on these 'baggers and not describe them as racists?
It can;t be "news" to them. When are they going to have the guts to say it or at least point out their racist agenda?

5. They need to go undercover a la Chris Hansen style and read what these folks
write and chat about on line. It's eye opening.

7. Hold Up! That crap-head goes from "not wanting to work for it" to "let them work hard for it"
What's next " really hard"? "really-really hard"? "You missed a spot and I don't like your shoe laces so you're fired hard!" These baggers are fucked up stoopit

11. OMG, the people I know without health care
are working full time jobs, and some of them moonlighting, just to pay the rent and feed the family. But they work in low paying jobs, so there is no way in hell they can afford insurance.

You're right, this is about keeping the lower classes struggling 24/7 just to survive. These tea party people are the scum of the earth.

14. "Fire up the ovens?!"
"It's a shame that places like Auschwitz sit empty?!?"

'Disgusted' doesn't even remotely describe my feelings in regards to those quotes!
