      Sure they played the race card...they played it correctly, accurately and effectively.

      BTW, have any of these mouth breathers ever read the NAACP resolution...? It condemns elements of the Tea Party for racism...not the entire Tea Party.

        Sowell is a liar. Hear is what Jealpous has said:
        "We felt the time had come to stand up and say, 'It's time for the tea party to be responsible members of this democracy and make sure they don't tolerate bigots or bigotry among their members,'" NAACP President Ben Jealous said ahead of the debate. "We don't have a problem with the tea party's existence. We have an issue with their acceptance and welcoming of white supremacists into their organizations."

          Ben Jealous also stated that they would not allow the Tea Party to hide behind signs that said lynch Obama and lynch Holder. He lied just like the 3 lying congressmmen. Neither the congressmen nor Jealous offered any proof for their claims. It is liars like Jealous that are to blame for this whole mess.

          But we all know what the democratic strategy is...

          Mary Frances Berry
          Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. :


          "Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness"

            Does Mary Frances Berry purport to represent "Democratic strategy"? I think not.

            When you come up with proof that the three members of Congress were lying, let us know.

              We can conclude that they are lying because of their inability to back up what they say. Don't you libs always ask for proof when someone you disagree with says virtually anything? That is the way it works in this country, at least until Obama took office.

              Here is the Center for American Progress that does represent democratic strategy. The dishonest CAP. Of course while you decry any viseo being edited by anyone on the right, I 'll guess you approve of this piece of dishonesty.

                  She is a racist, she has admitted her past as a racist and she continues to use terminology like I took him to see one of his kind. She said what she said, proving her racism. I am simply holding her to the same standards that you lefties hold people on the right to. When in Rome....

                Since their personal anecdote is not enough for you then nothing will work since the congressmen don't walk around with cameras and microphones on them.

                  There were numerous cameras and mics recording, the fact is that it never happened , just like Ben Jealous' bogus claim about the signs. All lies.

                    Like i said before, based on breibart's words, there were 400 people screaming kill the bill. it would have been impossible to hear one person calling the congressmen nig..r. and i doubt that peopl there caried HD video cameras in order to catch the congressman being spit on.

                    And in the end it wonuldn't matter. Why? because you people will never accept the evidence, just like birthers still ask for births certificates, warming deniers still deny despite all the evidence, and so on. "conservatives" will never admit error. Just look at your post above. She was racist orginally for her anecdote. once that was disproven, you moved the goalposts and she's still racist. You have no leg to stand on and no honesty.

                You posted a link to a blog which linked to a video of Glenn Beck, liar extraordinaire, to prove your point. Nice, groupie.

                What do the posters at freerepublic say to you? Surely, there are some intelligent folks over there. Don't they laugh at your ineptitude and your bizarre obsession with Bill O'Reilly?

                Fairliberal, there were disinterested third party witnesses who have verified the congressmen's words.

                BTW, why are you quoting Mary Frances Berry? She was a member of the Civil Rights Commission under Carter, Clinton and George W. Bush . . . she left office in 2004. She has NOTHING to do with the "democratic strategy." Just because she is a black woman, doesn't mean that anything she says as anything to do with the current administration. She was STATING AN OPINION. Lordy, you really do have trouble distinguishing between fact and opinion, don't you?

            I doubt that even if they offered proof, you will stop calling them racist. People like you and Breibart will move the goalposts in order to come unscathed from any argument.

                Fairliberal, there were disinterested third party eyewitnesses who backed up what the congressmen said.

                Johaely is correct. Even if there were videotapes provided which clearly showed in minute detail everything that happened, you would continue to spew whatever your heroes told you to spew. You are incapable of independent, critical thinking. You are a groupie.

      I see. Since Mark Williams and his group has been given the ol' heave ho by those other astroturf organizations, well, all the other over the top examples of Tea Party racism have just magically disappeared.

      I see I have more names to add to my "pathetic" list.

      What bunker did Fox drag this old relic out of to tell this lie? The NAACP said there are racist elements in the tea party groups and there are. I'm sure the Fox crew knows Mark Williams.

        By cutting Williams loose, they did exactly what the NAACP resolution recommended they do. I can't wait to hear faillibrul talk about how the Tea Party hates white people.

      Black so-called consrevatives.Most black people are conservative.If ever a black conservative on fox news acted like,or were treated like a grown man or woman,I may show them some respect.This I have not seen,so I can't respect them.Every black so called conservative that has ever appeared on fox news,and republican party media always kiss but,and lick the shoes,of whatever liar's show they are one especially Thomas step on a person hands and say they are not using them to pull them selves up by their bootstraps Sowell,....Let me tell you what this race card,and race baiting thing really is.These terms are used by wanna be racist.They say this so people will accuse them of being racist,and so they won't have to deal with the rotten thing they have said or done.A southern racist will accuse a black person of outsmarting someone,or thinking up a way to beat the system.Most of the time when people like Hannity say race card it is more about him being a rotten person,and liar,having nothing with race.This is mostly a northeast,beltway thing.You will never hear a southern racist say race card,or race baiting.They are real and don't have to pretend.Go back and look at the proud southern racist man interview at a teaparty.I wonder why nobody has never mentioned him when talking about tea party racism.Is it because he was proud and real?Believe it or not,most southern racist,and black people agree on more things than they disagree on.Marcus Garvey,and the Grand Wizzard of the KKK came to the same conclusion when they met in the early 1900's.A sure way to snatch the race card race bait cover off the one using this trick is to say: Let's leave race out of it,and deal with the things they say,and do that are rotten.Thomas Sowell needs to sit in a corner,say yaasa boss get his pay check,and pat on the head,and go home.It does not take whatever degrees he has to be the one trick pony that he is.And he needs to be a grown man for once in his life,and show some respect for Ms Sharrod.She has helped people both black and white some of them probably klansmen to acess $millions to get some boot straps to pull them selves up by.And it was not all government money.I deal with people who are klansmen for life.We agree on more than we disagree on.I have no problem with them looking out for their interest like I do mine.And many times we look out for each other's intrest.I hope Ms Sharrod has given President Obama some instructions on how to reconize real racism.And pay no attention to the fake racist like Sean Hannity,fox news,and republican party media,who are constantly calling out for someone to teach them how to be a racist.They have fake teachers like Thomas Sowell.Thomas Sowell said his dealings with white people growing up was so little he did not believe yellow was a hair color,and he has collected many government paychecks in his lifetime Therefore he is not qualified to speak.Thomas Sowell does not know a sucarcane farm is a slave plantation.He thinks the workers should be paid less as possible so more of them can have a job on the plantation....................A subject for another day.Why do a lot of so-called black conservative men who appear on fox news,and republican party media in their tone,and actions seem to have sugar in the tank and be pertending to be men? This is not homophobe,just stating what I and many others see too.They all act like little _itches
