Tea Party Shows Itself to be a Lily-White Movement

So white people attend Tea Parties. So what? Why is that a problem. What do you have against white men?

Bill Maher said it best (to paraphrase):

Taxes have gone down for @ 90% of the tax paying public. Yet, only 2% of the Tea Party movement knows this. How is it that a "movement" named after a tax protest can be so obtuse about the facts of taxation?

There are at least 30 Black Republican Conservative candidates running for national office in the Senate and Congress this year, the most ever. Many of them have been speaking at Tea Parties and will be supported strongly by the movement . What will the Libs say about this? Complete denial, or trash them as not really being Black?

As for your "lily white" theory. You are not being truthful and well know it. There have been speakers, attenders and even organizers of all races and political persuasions involved with the Tea Parties.

Meet Michael Williams, running for the Texas Senate seat . Williams has spoken at many Tea Party events in Texas.

from The Washington Independent:(including comments from Eric Erickson -major Tea Party supporter and Conservative Blogger)

“Williams is awesome,” said Erick Erickson, managing editor of RedState.com. “He’s a true rock star in the movement right now. People like him because of his beliefs, not because of his skin color, but there is definitely a bonus to having a black conservative who can be a voice of opposition to the first black President.” One example of Williams’ rock star status came in July, when he joined Liz Cheney as a speaker and guest at the RedState Gathering in Atlanta.

Williams is only the most experienced and best-known African-American Republican candidate out of a pool of them mounting a serious bid sfor national office in 2010. In Colorado, 31-year-old city councilman Ryan Frazier is running for the U.S. Senate seat held by Michael Bennet, a first-time candidate who was appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter (D-Co.) In Florida, Lt. Col. Allen West (Ret.) is making his second bid for a swing seat in Congress held by Rep. Ron Klein (D-Fla.). In western North Carolina, Ret. Col. Lou Huddleston is running against freshman Rep. Larry Kissell (D-N.C.). Reached by TWI, all of them stressed that their campaigns had nothing to do with race. At the same time they pointed out if they got to Congress, the image of the GOP would change immediately, and any attempt to find racism in Obama’s critics would hit some sand traps.

Maybe you should actually read the posts because I clearly wrote, Obama supporter.
