Schultz to Hannity: "To say that there isn't any tea party racism -- Sean, you're lying"

From the July 16 edition of MSNBC's The Ed Show:

Hannity claims that there are no racist signs at Tea Party gatherings.
Zero for two.
Since Ed will send videos to Hannity, on the integrity scale, Hannity is
Zero for three.
I was upset to hear that Hannity's early radio career included a stint at KCSB, radio station for UCSB. I was pleased to hear that he was asked to leave.
. The blog posting accuses our friend Sean Hannity of personally benefiting from Freedom Alliance. This is FALSE. Freedom Alliance has never provided planes, hotels, cars, limos, or anything else to Sean. Sean gets nothing from Freedom Alliance except our gratitude for his personal generosity and for all he has done to help the troops and our organization. We have never had to ask Sean for anything, he always generously offers his help before we have a chance to ask him. But to be clear Sean pays for all his own transportation, hotels, and all related expenses for himself and his family and friends and staff, which over the years has added up to tens of thousands of dollars. He does not use any Freedom Alliance Funds or Concert funds in any way, period.
2. Sean Hannity has contributed $100,000 to the Wounded Warriors Foundation, over $200,000 to the Freedom Alliance, and over tens of thousands of dollars to other military charities and individuals. We only make this information public because of the outrageous slander against him. Sean has no management or operational involvement in, or control over, Freedom Alliance. He has been a selfless patriot in his efforts to raise funds for the education of children of armed services personnel

So where is your proof?
And don't you love the way he uses the term "monkeys", that is so evil when the right uses it, but it is OK when he uses it? Do you approve of that also?
What evidence? The evidence that PROVES that no voter was intimidated, and therefore NO charges were appropriate? The evidence that proves that it was the Bush Administration that decided to not pursue criminal charges?
What a doofus.
But for your info, the civil cases usually would be pursued first to obtain an injunction, then a decision would be made on the criminal case, since Bush only had 2+ months left in office the case was left in the hands of the Obama administration, we all know what criteria they used, race.

Oh,and I wouldn't be saying anything about people commenting on issues upon which they know nothing. You are undoubtedly the most ill-informed little groupie I've ever seen.
And also Cultural references fly over your head, but i would have expected that from you who focus on small semantics to attack.
Are you serious? Since it didn't happen until election day , how in the heck could it have been discussed during the elections?
And what cultural references are you referring to? This is about dogbreath claiming that money from the charity went into Hannity's pocket, neither he, you or dollysue can provide any evidence of that. None what so ever, and the fact that you have not even tried shows that you know it is a bogus claim, but you just don't have the honesty to admit it. I expect that from the doofus dollysue but you can do better.
But I notice you still haven't responded at all about the issue you first chimed in on, that being the accusation of Hannity taking money from the charity.
I'll save you the trouble, obviously you are not willing to investigate for yourself. The claims made by jerks like dogbreath are totally bogus as the money that is raised by this charity goes to a Scholarship Trust Fund to be used for the benefit of the kids of fallen and injured soldiers. So it is disbursed according to the number of applications that the trust receives. After all if a kid is only 8 years old now, he is not ready for a college scholarship, is he.

Can either you or dogbreath show otherwise?
So, I have only one thing to say, to completely confuse the wingnuts:
Rosebud!
I think you are right. They know full well that they are vulnerable on the race issue, and they are doing what they do best: they are lying.
I think a lot of people, white, black and brown, are fed up with the race baiting emanating from Fox, and it's 'political movement' the Tea Party. Fox is damaging the Republican Party. The Party Fox was created to support.
And Chris Matthews is still waiting...
This action would put people on notice that racist messages are unacceptable at their events. Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Rand Paul's failure to do this is a tactic or covert approval of these messages. It's that simple.
But then, they immediately launch into not-so-subtle racist remarks, so what was I thinking?
http://gopcapitalist.tripod.com/democratrecord.html
About 3/4 of the examples cited happened before I was born. Probably half were from the nineteenth century.
I didn't include Democrats in my words only because I don't see Democrats currently waving racist signs. But believe me. If they did, EVERYBODY would hear about it from me. Racism is racism, regardless of political party.
The political party is the Democratic Party. Republicans don't get to choose an alternative name because they don't like associating the party with little d democratic principles.
The racist people moved over to the Republican Party decades ago and still reside there today.
You really aren't a very bright person, are you?

Here is something else to ponder...
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/guideDesc.asp?catid=162&type=issue
BTW, you dispute my links but you still have not provided ANY that prove the bogus charge about Hannity. I wonder why?
And not only do you once again put a blog to support your worldview of "ALL RACISTS ARE LIBERALS!" the blog doesn't even try to be objective. Why would i read a screed that that goes on about the "Democrat PArty" and how liberals are all horrible and conservatives pure and right.
Give me a break, you object to the blog because it is not objective, but you come to this site. What a joke.
BTW, using a blog as proof of anything is ridiculous and shows how lacking in knowledge and information you are.
You're going to have to provide a lot more than one person's perspective of a writer that sees Obama as a half-black, half-white man in the middle of his argument and as just a black man by the end.
I'm starting to view these claims of "racism" on both sides and understand the dynamics. Liberals look at the unfair treatment of minorities and call it racism. Conservatives look at the attempts to make minorities equal in society and label the attempts to stifle whites as "racism".
Why not call it what it actually is--"anti-conservatism"?
Lordy . . . not a bright person, are you?
The Tea Partiers haven't burned crosses on black people's lawns...or firebombed their houses.
The Tea Partiers haven't lynched any black people.
They haven't beaten any black people to death or shot any black person with a high powered rifle from a sniper position.
Harrrrumph...! How can you say Tea Partiers are racist?
<sarcasm>
If we liberal plants would stop going to these get togethers, there'd only be a few dozen people in attendance and half of them probably would come for the free tea.
...say what?
Sorry, off topic I know, not much more to say than Hannity is a fraud though.
"I don't like non-whites in my country, in any form, or fashion, or status."

After you watch, tell me if the quote is wrong.
These are the fine folks that Holder and Obama protect.
But something has been bugging me. what does this have to do with Sean Hannity being unable to find racism in the tea parties?
I know a lot of Obama supporters who say stupid things . . . you hate the man and you say some of the stupidest things I've ever seen in my life . . . what does that have to do with Obama?
I might add that Shabazz said these ridiculous things on a street corner LONG before the 2008 election. Grow up and get help. You're sick.
I'll wait for your documentation.
And you should know that sentences can be reduced and charges dropped.
"And you should know that sentences can be reduced and charges dropped"
Do you consider it normal legal practice to drop charges after a case is won by default? I'll be curious to see if you demand proof of that, it would be an indication of just how ill informed you are.
And what does this have to do with Sean Hannity not seeing racism in the Tea Party?
I have no doubt there are a handfull of members of the NAACP and the DNC that have an irrational moment or two of anger at someone with a mellinine count differant from theirs. They will find no support in these organizations for those feelings, but. If Faux ever finds something which can be interpeted (heh heh) this way they'll make sure to make everyone hears of their interpetation. The NBP certaintly gets more airtime on Faux than any rational liberal group does.
Where do you go to inform your self on real liberal thought? Not anywhere actually of a leftwing bent I'm thinking.
Not even close. The make of the party is largely those with legitimate concerns about the size of government, defecit spending, and the economy. It attracts independents and Democrats, while appealing largely to conservatives and Republicans.
To deny this is to be ignorant of the facts.
Are there racist and bigoted people within the Tea Party?
No question that there is. It is perhaps the largest group, seconded only by the Republican party, that stands opposed to our nation's President and his policies. It is only natural that a "grass roots movement," would foster a few weeds here and there.
To deny this is to be ignorant of the facts... and yes this makes Sean Hannity a liar.
Fighting the Tea Party on these grounds will yield no victory because it is not the experience of the average observer as a whole. Finding evidence of racism within their ranks and painting them with the same wide brush is no different than taking edited footage of ACORN employees and painting the entire organization in the same manner.
We are better off fighting them on their policies and ideas. You barely have to scratch the surface to find out that the majority of them really only parrot what they hear on Fox News and talk radio. Dig a little deeper and the average Tea Party person will fold when they discover how little they know about the Constitution, our system of government, history, etc.
That's how you defeat them, and it is far easier than trying to tie them to racism.
Nope... no racism there, at all. Why would anybody think that? That damn LIBERAL MEDIA! They should show how conservative they are by being stupid and ignorant.
Boy, it's no wonder all of the liberal TV shows have such terrible ratings. Hey, are the Black Tea Party members racists too? Just curious. Since you folks obviously don't get out much, you probably didn't see the stories below if it wasn't spoon fed to you by Oberman, Madcow or Chris "Tingly" Mathews. Where was your uproar when MSNBC and Contessa Brewer purposely tried to stir up racial tensions by editing out the black man carrying weapons and saying it was whites?

Teacher Who Sought to 'Demolish' Tea Party Placed on Leave From School
An Oregon teacher who announced his intention to "dismantle and demolish the Tea Party" has been placed on administrative leave until his school district finishes its investigation into whether his political activity crossed the line.
Jason Levin has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets and acting as offensively as possible -- anything short of throwing punches.
Oh, yeh. Still waiting for proof for the Hannity stealing allegations. Facts? We don't need no stinking facts!
