We all know that if it had been Biden/Obama rather than Obama/Biden... |
|
There would have never been a Tea Party movement to speak of.
And yet some people still want to tell us it didn't flower from the cesspool of racism. LOL.

1. Although I'm a Biden lover, and I believe a BIG part if this is racism, the Republicans |
|
were whipping up this frenzy of fear even before Obama won, weren't they?

3. True - There were Wacko Libertarians and Birchers long before there was an |
|
Obama.
The thing was though, the media treated them as fringe kooks. Seemed to want to "mainstream" them now for some reason. . .

4. Yes there would have been! The fact of the VPs skin color would |
|
have caused it, to be sure. You assume that because he is POTUS, that is the reason. Wrong. Reason has no place at the table for teabaggers...just hate for liberals & minorities.

6. No doubt racism moves the TEA party. But don't kid yourself. |
|
You do remember what the did to Bill and Hillary Clinton in the 1990's don't you?
They're not black people.
Biden at the top of the ticket would have suffered a different pile of shit. But there would have been shit all the same.

Face abrasive as sandpaper racism.
But generally speaking? The days of Helms, Wallace, Etc are over - and Not even the point past being ugly as sin.
