So Olbermann is complaining about homosexuals being discriminated about on religious grounds and SAYS NOTHING about the fact that over 70% of Blacks are against gay marriage.
Olbermann is nothing but a complete hypocrite when it comes to race. He sees "racism" in anyone to the political right of his god Obama and yet, he routinely bashes anyone who is nonwhite and has an opinion that he does not share. He ran down 2 black and 1 Hispanic Tea Party members running for election and routinely labels Michelle Malkin (an Asian columnist) the Worst Person in the World. And he has the GALL to spout pretended righteousness against "racism"? Yeah, Keith, glad youre suspended.
@911lolTroll Hey the principal at the terrorist school called, since you skipped school to troll youtube again they're gonna bump you farther down the martyrdom list. Apperently you suck so bad at this terrorist stuff that you're now behind the three dead dogs they're using for ied's and that little hadji bastard with no arms or legs. You really need to do some extra-credit work so you can move back up the list and martyr yourself asap, after all you got 72 hairy hadji virgins waitin for you.
@911lolTroll So your're sayin my mum is a virgin, I'm ok with that, that makes her just like the virgin Mary. We know your mum's not a virgin,she's the modern day whore of bablyon. Vsboy25 is still offering you the last 75 "smoken hot honeys" he dated ( and their definitly virgins) if you let him fuck you in the ass, and since martyring yourself for alah and getting ass fucked are basically the same thing you should consider his offer. Go fuck yourself hadji cannon fodder poser terrorist.
Olbermann is one of the liberal pundits who routinely sees racism in any opposition to President Obama, and ascribes racist motives to the Tea Parties in particular and the Republican party in general. How does he then account for midterm Republican victories for governors Nikki Haley, Suzanna Martinez, Brian Sandoval, senator Marco Rubio, congress people Col. Allen West, Jaime Herera, Tim Burns and Raul Labrador, and close calls for Ryan Frzazier and Van Tran in congress?
Funny how people accuse the Tea Parties of racism yet there are black members of the movement. All leftists do is try to discredit what they cannot debate and they like using accusations to do so. They take any idiot that doesn't represent an entire crowd and use him to demonize an entire movement or take a person who masquerades as a Tea Party member and uses him to demonize the movement. The Tea Party Movement is about federal policies especially fiscal ones that will affect us all.
Its strange that all of the people that are willing to fight over skin colour, its a distraction, from the fact that the government with the banks and big corporations are screwing the world. Everyone is fed propaganda to fight with each other, and they loot the treasuries of all of our countries. If they ever get a CO2 tax that will be the last bit of control they need to control the world. Then look out, everything you know will change for the worst.
@greff Go back to whatever shithole country your race is from if you hate White countries so much. I would prefer to live in a superior White country myself.
People cry racist like they cried witch, or commie back in the day. the majority of the time the accuser is totally out of line and wrong. it's a shame we have people like Keith Olbermann to spread all these untruths. Good thing his ratings are horrible.
Why hasn't Olberman talked about the black guy who was beaten by SEIU thugs? A black Tea Partier getting an ass kicking isn't racist or wrong?? You dummies who have a problem with the tea party are terribly misinformed and directed as if you were sheep. Obama has continued Bush's spending spree I'd like to know how that is a good thing and doesn't deserve protest?
Instead of inviting me (a White Man), shouldnt you be inviting them (minorities)
How about we have ideas and principals and invite people; regardless of race to participate, based on a shared idea instead of pandering to race? If the idea of smaller taxes and less government attracts more people of certain races show up, then so be it. How is that racist? If you set up a political movement to persuade in helping or hurting a specific people because of their race then you are being racist
Yes it was true that the Republians set the slaves free but that was a different party and those were different people .
In the early 1900 their party became the Democratic Republican Party then this group divided in the the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
This Republican Party is the Demonation Republic Party. They have show their faces they have come out of the woodwork and show to be racist their vile ineptness is very pronounced about Obama .
This quote doesn't suggest an attitude toward slavery in the least. his attitude about superior or inferior is not the issue. Again - his quotes show that he was profoundly ANTI SLAVERY
cont. not to intermarry with White people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the White and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on equal terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the White race..."
How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty . A. Lincoln
Fourth debate with Stephen A. Douglas at Charleston, Illinois on September 18, 1858 : "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the White and black races, that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurers of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office
Speech at Springfield, Illinois on June 26, 1857: "Judge Douglas has said to you that he has not been able to get from me an answer to the question whether I am in favor of negro citizenship. So far as I know, the Judge never asked me the question before. (Applause.) He shall have no occasion to ever ask it again, for I tell him very frankly that I am not in favor of negro citizenship".
clearly you didn't read the quotes I provided. Lincoln was profoundly anti slavery.
Yes the Emancipation Proc. was a war strategy that had no legal basis. But to say that Lincoln only wanted to preserve the union with no intentions of ending slavery is patently a LIE. As I have just pointed out.
@MetalDetroit Then you are calling Lincoln HIMSELF a LIAR because that's EXACTLY what he said AS PRESIDENT, not before. What you have pointed out was Lincoln's ability to talk out of both sides of his mouth, as most politicians tend to do, that is all.
"There are white n*ggers. I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time." -- Former Klansman and Current US Senator Democrat Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate" in March of 2001
@MetalDetroit LOL I can pull quotes for days from REPUBLICAN racist all day long. But you seem to missing the point. Most members of the KKK aren't Democratic, THEY VOTE REPUBLICAN! LOL, And thanks to you, I will address this topic in a new video, so I look forward to hearing what you have to say when you are confronted with the facts of the matter.
"I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position. I have never said anything to the contrary." ~ Lincoln, Aug. 21, 1858, in remarks stating his belief that blacks were naturally inferior to whites, which was a nearly universal belief on the part of whites in both the North and South long before and long after the Civil War.
@SpannTV The Republican Party was committed to restricting the growth of slavery, and its victory in the election of 1860 was the trigger for secession acts by Southern states. The debate before 1860 was mainly focused on the Western territories, especially Kansas and the popular sovereignty controversy.
Oh Keith your soooo open minded. Too bad you dont extend that to understand the people you obviously Hate. I think that you forget what party faught the Civil Rights Movement (Democrates). Who started the NAACP (Republicans). FDR was a racist whose New Deal threw African Americans out of work. Look up the HISTORY of the Progressive Democrats people. Olberman is part of the Propaganda wing.
I think their are racist at the tea parties but not everyone who attends is racist. However, I do feel the Tea Party is dishonest.
The Tea Party is just a Republican movement. They continue to back Republicans even though they are clearly not for small government or responsible spending.
They say racial slurs were shouted at the recent DC Tea Party protest as black congressmen were walking to the Capitol building. The problem is, despite there being hundreds of cameras (probably thousand) and that rewards of $100k (Breitbart) and even $250k (Jackie Mason) have been offered for some proof, no one has come forward with any video proof. That's because it didn't happen. Olbermann, and anyone who buys his race-baiting crap, can kiss my ass!
@SpannTV How about Democrat Robert Byrd - not just a Klansman - but a Grand dragon of the KKK. The KKK was founded by the Democrats. Republicans were the first political party in the History of the world founded for the specific reason of ending slavery.
One eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the Southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was, somehow, the cause of the war.
Secondly, I can post many a quote where Lincoln advocated the separartion of the races and the only reason he freed the slaves had nothing to do with being "the right and moral" thing to do. It was war strategy, freeing the slave was a byproduct of him trying to preserve the "union"
@SpannTV And why was the Union splitting - because the North wanted to end slavery and the south didn't. Therefore the south tried to secede. seriously - go back to school.
@MetalDetroit "... when they [slaveowners] remind us of their constitutional rights, I acknowledge them, not grudgingly but fully and fairly; and I would give them any legislation for the claiming of their fugitives." ~ Lincoln, speaking in support of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.
@SpannTV You think slavery is right and ought to be extended; while we think it is wrong and ought to be restricted. That I suppose is the rub. It certainly is the only substantial difference between us.
Abraham Lincoln --December 22, 1860 Letter to Alexander Stephens
Just Remember - The republicans were the only party in the history of the world founded with the sole purpose of ending slavery. Democrats were the founders of the KKK. Look at the vile names they call black Republicans for daring to think for themselves. Look at the inner cities and the schools in this country that Democrats have run for the last 40 years. The Democrats ran the Plantations then, and they are running the plantations now!
@MetalDetroit Fact of the matter is, the Republican Party of the 1860's is not the Republican Party of the 2010's and neither is the Democratic Party. The members of both the Republican and Democratic parties of the 1860's wouldn't recognize their parties today. So to keep saying that the Democrats created the KKK, when most of the members of the KKK today, would identify themselves as Republicans is downright disingenuous.
"Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

@MetalDetroit "I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people... There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man." REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
".....African-Americans watch the same news at night that ordinary Americans do. " Democrat President Clinton on Black Entertainment Television, November 2, 1994
@MetalDetroit . "I have never said anything like that, ever," Hillary Clinton said during a news conference outside her New York home. "I have in the past certainly, you know maybe, called somebody a name. But I have never used an ethnic, racial, anti-Semitic, bigoted, discriminatory, prejudiced, accusation against anybody."
@MetalDetroit Falwell had called the gay-positive Metropolitan Community Churches: "brute beasts...[and] a vile and Satanic system [that will] one day be utterly annihilated and there will be a celebration in heaven." He denied saying this and offered to pay $5,000 if Sloan could produce a tape of the statement. According to an article in Church and State magazine, "Sloan did so, Falwell refused to pay and Sloan successfully sued.
@MetalDetroit Falwell appealed, with his attorney charging that the Jewish judge in the case was prejudiced. He lost again and was forced to pay an additional $2,875 in sanctions and court fees.

@MetalDetroit "I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." ~ Lincoln, speaking in regards to slavery and in support of a proposed Thirteenth Amendment to explicitly guarantee slavery.
@SpannTV I have very earnestly urged the slave-states to adopt emancipation; and it ought to be, and is an object with me not to overthrow, or thwart what any of them may in good faith do, to that end.
The slave-breeders and slave-traders, are a small, odious and detested class, among you; and yet in politics, as vile as they are, they dictate the course of all of you, and are as completely your masters, as you are the master of your own negroes.
Abraham Lincoln --August 24, 1855 Letter to Joshua Speed
@MetalDetroit "The original proclamation has no... legal justification, except as a military measure." ~ Lincoln, in a letter to Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase.
@MetalDetroit "The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories. We want them for the homes of free white people." ~ Lincoln, on whether blacks slave or free should be allowed in the new territories in the west, October 16, 1854.
@SpannTV leave you, hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal.
@SpannTV Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature -- opposition to it is in his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks, and throes, and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
@SpannTV Repeal the Missouri Compromise -- repeal all compromises -- repeal the declaration of independence -- repeal all past history, you still can not repeal human nature. It still will be the abundance of man's heart, that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak. Lincoln 1854
@MetalDetroit "I cannot make it better known than it already is, that I favor colonization." ~ Lincoln, in a message to Congress, December 1, 1862, supporting deportation of all blacks from America.
@MetalDetroit "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union." ~ Lincoln Letter to Horace Greeley, Editor of the New York Tribune, August 22 1862.
@MetalDetroit I went to school, graduated college also, and I read a little bit more than what they put in the textbooks. So if your are going to come at me on this, come a bit stronger than the elementary textbook story.
@MetalDetroit LOL re-writing history? Those were Lincoln's words. The Civil War was not fought to free the slaves. It never was. Lincoln didn't even want to keep blacks in the country! He wanted them deported to Liberia. The "Emancipation Proclamation" was WAR STRATEGY which is what I have been saying all along.
I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling.
Abraham Lincoln --April 4, 1864 Letter to Albert Hodges
Still, some additional strength would be added in that way to the war, and then, unquestionably, it would weaken the rebels by drawing off their laborers, which is of great importance; but I am not so sure we could do much with the blacks" ~ Lincoln's reply to a Committee from Religious Denominations of Chicago asking for a Proclamation of Emancipation, on Sept. 13, 1862. Less than four months later he would decree what he would term a "war measure," the Emancipation Proclamation, on Jan 1, 1863
We believe that the spreading out and perpetuity of the institution of slavery impairs the general welfare. We believe -- nay, we know, that that is the only thing that has ever threatened the perpetuity of the Union itself.
Abraham Lincoln--September 17, 1859 Speech in Cincinnati, Ohio
@siradon2000 I actually subscribe to Zo's channel on here. Even though I disagree with him on about 80% of what he says. I like his preentation. That being said, I'm still waiting on what he has to say about tea partiers calling a congressman a nigger.
Funny how he would attempt to compare himself to Lincoln one of the first Republicans. Or to compare the tea party's to KKK. Seeing as how the KKK was founded by Democrats.
Lack of diversity? Not Tea Parties fault that blacks have a entitlement mentality. Of course negros will vote democrat and not like the tea party, so what?
Wait, who has an entitlement mentality? Who in this country feels that certain jobs are beneath them? Why are certain people so concerned about losing their racial majority? You say blacks have an entitlement mentality and I say you are projecting.
@mabutoo I think you were misreading my statement. I was quoting someone else when they said that it's not the fault of the tea party that blacks have an entitlement mentality. I DON'T agree with that statement. So what exactly am I projecting?
Are there individual racist in the Tea Party movement?
Yes.
Does that make the whole Tea Party movement racist?
NO!
There are bad apples in every group.
This whole racist is a huge canard meant to distract attention away from the goals of the TP movement by people who disagree.
This country is headed for some very tough economic times and the TP movement is the only group speaking out. Just more of the same from DC and the talking heads in the legacy media
ITs too bad, the Tea Party movement is full of christian evangelical nujob bigots. I agree with less government and less taxes but you are turning off millions of people with these scumbags. Clean it up!! and then minorities will feel welcome and join your group!
@buckwheat40 Well I am an atheist but I have no problem if you or any one else believes god. So, let me get this straight, you're saying that if someone believes in god they don't have a right to protest the government?
@mabutoo "Why would any minority side with those opposed to their very existence?"
WHAT?!?!
Do you think that the Tea Party movement is in favor of genocide?
I have said before that we are headed for some very tough times ahead (total economic/political collapse) unless things start to change now. What do you think racism will be like with 30% unemployment and hyperinflation? This country has hit a brick wall. Go to Karl Denninger's blog and learn how bad thing really are.

Olberman is about as useful as tits on a bull. His ratings are so far in the tank its a wonder he is even on the air. MSNBC's night time lineup is getting stomped by Glenn Beck's program on Fox at 5:00 lol.
"Fear and anger rob you of your intelligence and reduce you to behavior like the tea party's." You're right, fear and anger are the driving factors behind tea parties. Fear of losing our civil liberties insured us by the Constitution and anger at the fact that not only are they being slowly denied us but it is by our own President and government and that people seem to be too ignorant or misinformed to stop it. It does not however rob us of our intelligence. You are clearly the unintelligent one
If most black Americans are conservative to moderate, why then do most black people vote for the Democratic Party who's political and ideological agenda is to the left? If most black people are Conservative to moderate in their views then they should either be voting for the Republican Party or some third political party that shares these Conservative to moderate political views that the Democratic Party most certainly doesn't share these days.
Because the deciding factor is welfare and egalitarian ideas that wealth should be confiscated from the "rich" and redistributed to the poor. But on issues like gay marriage, you can be sure blacks will be first in line to discriminate against the very white do-gooders who spend their lives trying to promote some ridiculous idea of "diversity" (defined by skin color) that has no bearing on a civilization's greatness. As a gay person, I can't stand keith olbermann -- he does not represent me.
Because the language that most Republicans engage in is dealing with exclusivity (sp) and most blacks believe in a inclusive society. Example: Sarah Palin statement about what is 'Real America'. That is typical Republican rhetoric and it suggest that only white america is real america.
The idiot talking about welfare has no clue. Even when my family was poor we never took welfare opting to work more to earn money. hydarnes comments are dismissive and part of the problem.
Bush isn't a true conservative, just like half the assholes in the GOP today. It's why I have no use for either party and is why I don't vote. This two party system doesn't work anymore.
As a moderate, I don't hang my hat for any party only the candidates. I think you should try to find someone to vote for. Only democrats and Republicans want you to believe this is a 2 party system. Actually, there are hundreds of politcal parties in the US.
Recent comments by the Republican party suggest they are trying to fold the Teabaggers into their ranks.
Wonder how that will go. It will show the true colors of the attendees.
Just a quick question for all the teabaggers who say they don't care about Obama being black, Why weren't you people teabagging when FDR and Carter were President?
We were in severe recessions, involved in relatively huge wars and both presidents used simlar policies as Obama.
@vfreeck The problem we are facing now has been growing since the days of FDR. We did not get here overnight. Every president and congress has added to the problem, with Bush/Obama being the worst. If you remember Carter lost in a landslide to Reagan. And although it is not certain I suspect that Obama will loose to someone in a landslide in 2012. I don't care what color a president is. I care about their policies. I'll vote for a black in a heartbeat if he can lead us back to the Constitution.
Umm, I didn't ask how long the tea party has been in existence, how long problems have been around, nor how long Cater's presidency lasted (I knew the answer to all three of those), thus you didn't answer my question...
I will reapeat my question...
"Why weren't you people teabagging when FDR and Carter were President?
We were in severe recessions, involved in relatively huge wars and both presidents used simlar policies as Obama. "
During the Rosevelt Administration the U.S. had a debt of nearly 4 trillion dollars (up from nearly no debt). Of course, relative to the inflation and devaluation that took palce since then it all balances out.
Clearly if there was no outrage on these preisdents (who were white) conducting heavy spending and increasing the debt, then the outrage towards Obama has to be related to race.
I agree with your question; however most of the people who are participating in Tea Parties today were not alive or too young to care during the FDR administration.
Therefore I can anticipate what their answer will be to your question.
Ah yes, what a weasely answer. I actually already figured you (or someone) would spew something like that.
If that's the case, the only conclusion I can draw (other than you guys being racist) is either you teabaggers are hypocrites because you were not alive or too young during the era of hte founding fathers yet claim you want to return to their racist america or ignorant buffoons because you don't care about your country's history, which would make your little protests irrelevant.
So the question is rhetorical. See I happen to believe that not everyone at these parties are racist; but at the same time they show no disagreement with the element that is.
Basically, aligning themselves with racist which is just as bad.
As for the misguided view of the past, most look back on it fondly because they were children. All I could say to that is
I went to the 9-12 march on DC last year. There were, depending on who you listen to, between 30,000 and 1.5 million people there. I didn't see every sign carried by every person. If some bozo had a sign like you say I did not see it but, if they did they were wrong. If 1 racist is at a rally of 1.5m is the whole group racist? How many bad apples does it take to make the movement racist? Do a few tree spikers make all environmentalist evil?
You make a good point, but in the same note those who don't reject passively endorse. I don't see other participants asking these people to leave or stating publicly that they should leave.
I made the same argument to those in the Muslim community years ago who did not denounce the actions of extremist.
So long as their rhetoric is welcome at these events the question will remain.
Its not just the signs its what these boneheads say, they don't like blacks, they don't like mexicans and they hate muslims. How can you be associated with bigots like them!!
@buckwheat40 Well, what are these boneheads saying that you don't like. I have not heard any one say they don't like blacks or mexicans or muslims. Have you heard someone in the Tea Party movement say these things. If so who said it? Or, are you just taking Keith Olbermann's word that we don't like blacks, mexicans or muslims.
I don't need to watch cherry picked videos posted by people who think we're retards. I was at many rallies last year and saw first hand how the people conducted themselves. And I can feel the hate in your comments.
A lack of diversity in the tea party has nothing to do with racism it has to do with the fact that most blacks in this country are liberal democrats while most of the people in the Tea Party movement are Conservative Republicans or independent. If more black people were Republican or independent you when then see more racial diversity in this movement. Unless blacks are being kept out of this movement, no one has any right accusing anyone of racism.
Minorities aren't there solely because they aren't "conservative republicans"? Nonsense. There are plenty of people who are not white who have conservative ideals. In case Olbermann put it a little delicately, let me elaborate. Fear. Majorities are very succeptable to fearTelling average white people to be afraid, and riling them up into a defensive frenzied mob is one of the easiest things to do. Fear and anger rob you of your intelligence and reduce you to behavior like the tea party's.
That is a pure statement of ignorance. Most blacks in this country are conservative or moderate.
People don't know what to do when they encounter a moderate these days. Liberals call us Conservative and Conservatives call us Liberal. We see the Racial undertones of the tea party (we grew up learning how to detect them). That's why, no matter what our views are, we don't attend these things. Mostly.
Btw, Obama is a moderate. I don't think many people realize that.
@mabutoo Most Democrats are socialist. Some are more socialist than others and Obama is one of the worst. Why else would he trying to take over our health care system. His reckless spending will destroy our nation. We have a national debt that will never be paid back. Soon, service on the debt will be the biggest item in the budget and our socialist president wants to add a trillions more for years to come. Bush did every thing wrong to fix this mess we're in and Obama has been even worse.
@mabutoo Please, how is protesting the policies of the president a "Racial undertone"? There were no KKK members at any Tea Party rally that I attended keeping people of color from attending. So how are the Tea Partiers being racist. I am a very naive person so please explain. BTW Obama is a SOCIALIST.
I will ignore the KKK statement since I believe that was inflammatory.
Not sure how to translate this for you, but how about in the form of a question. Many Republicans have spoken at these rallies. So why is it that Micheal Steele and other black republicans have been asked NOT to attend? Particularly, when they had enthusiastically asked to speak.
and I will say it again; CLEARLY, you don't know what a socialist is.
@mabutoo CLEARLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A MODERATE IS OBAMA IS A *FAR* LEFT WING, BIG GOVERNMENT, NANNY STATE, CRADLE TO GRAVE SOCIALIST. I have been to many Tea Party events and have seen many black speakers. I have no idea if they were republicans or not. I don't care if they were republicans or not. As far as spending too much of our money goes there is not a dimes worth of difference between most Republicans and Democrats. Micheal Steele was the Lt Governor of my state and I voted for him.
All caps won't make what you are saying anymore truthful. If he is so 'left wing' then why aren't more liberals happy with his actions?
I think they are allowing black speakers now, but that is not how it started. The videos are right here on youtube if you care to know the truth.
So what actions of Pres. Obama's makes you scream socialist? Give me an example of anything socialist he has done that was not also attempted by a Republican president.
@mabutoo Ok I'll tone it down a little. Obama is a big government socialist. As are most democrats and probably most republicans. There is no question about this. What action is Obama taking that makes me think this. Um... let me think... how about the take over of the health care system for 1. The take over of the auto industry for 2. The take over of AIG for 3. The bail out of Wall Street for 4. The people he surrounds himself with for 5. Every TP event that I've been to had black speakers,
The bailouts were started by the previous administration which put this admin. in the position of letting these companies fail and lose Billions of tax dollars or invest more and hope for repayment.
Its not a take over of the healthcare system. This reform mostly addresses cost and lack of competition between insurance companies.
Where are you getting your definition of socialism? What you are describing sounds more like corporatism or fascism.
Fascism is a form of socialism. All the bailouts, TARPS stimulus packages, farm subsidies, welfare, Social Security, Medicare and Medicade are all socialism. Every time congress uses the tax code to benefit one group or punish another thats socialism. In fact most government spending, today, is socialism.
I hate double-banging but 500 words was not enough.
I think when companies get to big that it is the duty of the government to protect the US consumer to them steering the market. Much like the government did when they created the Anti-Trust laws.
When you say "There is no question", thats just not a fact its just your opinion. Its my opinion that yours is a false claim.
On the black speakers @ TPs; like who? Was this from the beginning? Why was Michael Steele excluded?
A company thats too big to fail is too big to exist.
Mason Weaver, Deneen Borelli, Rev. CL Bryant, and Lloyd Marcus are just a few of the black speakers at TPs I was at. As for Michael Steele, since other black speakers were at TPs there must be some other reason for him not being there.
How many black speakers at TPs would be enough? I have a feeling that no number would satisfy critics of the TP movement. Or they would move on to some other bogus complaint.
I agree, unfortunately the experiment was tried some years ago. Remember Bell? It did not go well.
I say cudos for providing me the list of black speakers at the TP's. However, and not to dimish your proof but why is it each of them felt the need to not be thought of as African Americans? That still seems odd to me, but I think you made your point.
I guess Micheal Steele will remain a mystery since other Republicans were allowed to speak. I still did not see any blacks in the crowd.
@mabutoo Why dose someone have to say that they are a Black-American or a White-American or an Hispanic-American or Irish-American or what ever kind of an American? Why do we use these words to separate ourselves into little groups. Ethic pride is fine but when you see yourself as part of the smaller group first and the larger group 2ed how will we ever come together as one people?
I think you are challenging my question with a question but that would be evasive. I am sure you did not mean to do that.
I think my point was why do the black speaker all start with denouncing their ethnicity before speaking. I looked at the videos of the names you provided and noticed that commonality in them. No other speakers did it. Why did they feel it necessary to do so? Seemingly collectively.

Olbermann is one of the liberal pundits who routinely sees racism in any opposition to President Obama, and ascribes racist motives to the Tea Parties in particular and the Republican party in general.

If most black people are Conservative to moderate in their views then they should either be voting for the Republican Party or some third political party that shares these Conservative to moderate political views that the Democratic Party most certainly doesn't share these days.

Because the deciding factor is welfare and egalitarian ideas that wealth should be confiscated from the "rich" and redistributed to the poor. But on issues like gay marriage, you can be sure blacks will be first in line to discriminate against the very white do-gooders who spend their lives trying to promote some ridiculous idea of "diversity" (defined by skin color) that has no bearing on a civilization's greatness. As a gay person, I can't stand keith olbermann -- he does not represent me.

Because the language that most Republicans engage in is dealing with exclusivity (sp) and most blacks believe in a inclusive society. Example: Sarah Palin statement about what is 'Real America'. That is typical Republican rhetoric and it suggest that only white america is real america.
The idiot talking about welfare has no clue. Even when my family was poor we never took welfare opting to work more to earn money. hydarnes comments are dismissive and part of the problem.

Also, the republican party does not own Conservatism. If anything, the Bush administration proved that they words don't match their actions.

@mabutoo
Bush isn't a true conservative, just like half the assholes in the GOP today. It's why I have no use for either party and is why I don't vote. This two party system doesn't work anymore.
TheMidnighttoker24 2 years ago
As a moderate, I don't hang my hat for any party only the candidates. I think you should try to find someone to vote for. Only democrats and Republicans want you to believe this is a 2 party system. Actually, there are hundreds of politcal parties in the US.
Recent comments by the Republican party suggest they are trying to fold the Teabaggers into their ranks.
Wonder how that will go. It will show the true colors of the attendees.

Just a quick question for all the teabaggers who say they don't care about Obama being black, Why weren't you people teabagging when FDR and Carter were President?
We were in severe recessions, involved in relatively huge wars and both presidents used simlar policies as Obama.

@vfreeck The problem we are facing now has been growing since the days of FDR. We did not get here overnight. Every president and congress has added to the problem, with Bush/Obama being the worst. If you remember Carter lost in a landslide to Reagan. And although it is not certain I suspect that Obama will loose to someone in a landslide in 2012. I don't care what color a president is. I care about their policies. I'll vote for a black in a heartbeat if he can lead us back to the Constitution.
orionstarman 2 years ago
Umm, I didn't ask how long the tea party has been in existence, how long problems have been around, nor how long Cater's presidency lasted (I knew the answer to all three of those), thus you didn't answer my question...
I will reapeat my question...
"Why weren't you people teabagging when FDR and Carter were President?
We were in severe recessions, involved in relatively huge wars and both presidents used simlar policies as Obama. "
vfreeck 2 years ago
I read your question and have to admit, even I don't understand what you are asking.
I ask my friends who have gone to these events. "Why did they not protest the Bush administration?"
They were the ones who acted like the constitution was for wiping their asses with. They were the ones spending like crazy but paying for nothing.
Where was all this outrage in the eight years we went for a surplus to almost 10 trillion in debt?
Is that what you are asking?
mabutoo 2 years ago
My question was very clear.
During the Rosevelt Administration the U.S. had a debt of nearly 4 trillion dollars (up from nearly no debt). Of course, relative to the inflation and devaluation that took palce since then it all balances out.
Clearly if there was no outrage on these preisdents (who were white) conducting heavy spending and increasing the debt, then the outrage towards Obama has to be related to race.
vfreeck 2 years ago
I agree with your question; however most of the people who are participating in Tea Parties today were not alive or too young to care during the FDR administration.
Therefore I can anticipate what their answer will be to your question.
mabutoo 2 years ago
Ah yes, what a weasely answer. I actually already figured you (or someone) would spew something like that.
If that's the case, the only conclusion I can draw (other than you guys being racist) is either you teabaggers are hypocrites because you were not alive or too young during the era of hte founding fathers yet claim you want to return to their racist america or ignorant buffoons because you don't care about your country's history, which would make your little protests irrelevant.
vfreeck 2 years ago
Interesting.
So the question is rhetorical. See I happen to believe that not everyone at these parties are racist; but at the same time they show no disagreement with the element that is.
Basically, aligning themselves with racist which is just as bad.
As for the misguided view of the past, most look back on it fondly because they were children. All I could say to that is
"Grow UP".

@mabutoo Where are these racist that you keep talking about? Disagreeing with the president does not make you a racist.
orionstarman 2 years ago
Are you pleading 'ignorance' to the signs at these events that depict Obama racially with derrogatory comments? Like the monkey or the lynching?
Are you saying that you never saw these or asking that we ignore them?
There are videos all over youtube if you really seek an answer to that question.
mabutoo 2 years ago
I went to the 9-12 march on DC last year. There were, depending on who you listen to, between 30,000 and 1.5 million people there. I didn't see every sign carried by every person. If some bozo had a sign like you say I did not see it but, if they did they were wrong. If 1 racist is at a rally of 1.5m is the whole group racist? How many bad apples does it take to make the movement racist? Do a few tree spikers make all environmentalist evil?
orionstarman 2 years ago
You make a good point, but in the same note those who don't reject passively endorse. I don't see other participants asking these people to leave or stating publicly that they should leave.
I made the same argument to those in the Muslim community years ago who did not denounce the actions of extremist.
So long as their rhetoric is welcome at these events the question will remain.

A lack of diversity in the tea party has nothing to do with racism it has to do with the fact that most blacks in this country are liberal democrats while most of the people in the Tea Party movement are Conservative Republicans or independent. If more black people were Republican or independent you when then see more racial diversity in this movement. Unless blacks are being kept out of this movement, no one has any right accusing anyone of racism.
TheMidnighttoker24 2 years ago
Minorities aren't there solely because they aren't "conservative republicans"? Nonsense. There are plenty of people who are not white who have conservative ideals. In case Olbermann put it a little delicately, let me elaborate. Fear. Majorities are very succeptable to fearTelling average white people to be afraid, and riling them up into a defensive frenzied mob is one of the easiest things to do. Fear and anger rob you of your intelligence and reduce you to behavior like the tea party's.

@TheMidnighttoker24
That is a pure statement of ignorance. Most blacks in this country are conservative or moderate.
People don't know what to do when they encounter a moderate these days. Liberals call us Conservative and Conservatives call us Liberal. We see the Racial undertones of the tea party (we grew up learning how to detect them). That's why, no matter what our views are, we don't attend these things. Mostly.
Btw, Obama is a moderate. I don't think many people realize that.

@mabutoo Obama is an out and out socialist. Moderate?!?!? What planet are you on?
orionstarman 2 years ago
If you believe that then you have no idea what the views of a socialist are.
mabutoo 2 years ago
@mabutoo Most Democrats are socialist. Some are more socialist than others and Obama is one of the worst. Why else would he trying to take over our health care system. His reckless spending will destroy our nation. We have a national debt that will never be paid back. Soon, service on the debt will be the biggest item in the budget and our socialist president wants to add a trillions more for years to come. Bush did every thing wrong to fix this mess we're in and Obama has been even worse.
orionstarman 2 years ago
@mabutoo Please, how is protesting the policies of the president a "Racial undertone"? There were no KKK members at any Tea Party rally that I attended keeping people of color from attending. So how are the Tea Partiers being racist. I am a very naive person so please explain. BTW Obama is a SOCIALIST.
orionstarman 2 years ago
I will ignore the KKK statement since I believe that was inflammatory.
Not sure how to translate this for you, but how about in the form of a question. Many Republicans have spoken at these rallies. So why is it that Micheal Steele and other black republicans have been asked NOT to attend? Particularly, when they had enthusiastically asked to speak.
and I will say it again; CLEARLY, you don't know what a socialist is.
He is a moderate.
mabutoo 2 years ago
@mabutoo CLEARLY YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A MODERATE IS OBAMA IS A *FAR* LEFT WING, BIG GOVERNMENT, NANNY STATE, CRADLE TO GRAVE SOCIALIST. I have been to many Tea Party events and have seen many black speakers. I have no idea if they were republicans or not. I don't care if they were republicans or not. As far as spending too much of our money goes there is not a dimes worth of difference between most Republicans and Democrats. Micheal Steele was the Lt Governor of my state and I voted for him.
orionstarman 2 years ago
All caps won't make what you are saying anymore truthful. If he is so 'left wing' then why aren't more liberals happy with his actions?
I think they are allowing black speakers now, but that is not how it started. The videos are right here on youtube if you care to know the truth.
So what actions of Pres. Obama's makes you scream socialist? Give me an example of anything socialist he has done that was not also attempted by a Republican president.
mabutoo 2 years ago
@mabutoo Ok I'll tone it down a little. Obama is a big government socialist. As are most democrats and probably most republicans. There is no question about this. What action is Obama taking that makes me think this. Um... let me think... how about the take over of the health care system for 1. The take over of the auto industry for 2. The take over of AIG for 3. The bail out of Wall Street for 4. The people he surrounds himself with for 5. Every TP event that I've been to had black speakers,
orionstarman 2 years ago
The bailouts were started by the previous administration which put this admin. in the position of letting these companies fail and lose Billions of tax dollars or invest more and hope for repayment.
Its not a take over of the healthcare system. This reform mostly addresses cost and lack of competition between insurance companies.
Where are you getting your definition of socialism? What you are describing sounds more like corporatism or fascism.
mabutoo 2 years ago
Fascism is a form of socialism. All the bailouts, TARPS stimulus packages, farm subsidies, welfare, Social Security, Medicare and Medicade are all socialism. Every time congress uses the tax code to benefit one group or punish another thats socialism. In fact most government spending, today, is socialism.
orionstarman 2 years ago
I hate double-banging but 500 words was not enough.
I think when companies get to big that it is the duty of the government to protect the US consumer to them steering the market. Much like the government did when they created the Anti-Trust laws.
When you say "There is no question", thats just not a fact its just your opinion. Its my opinion that yours is a false claim.
On the black speakers @ TPs; like who? Was this from the beginning? Why was Michael Steele excluded?
mabutoo 2 years ago
A company thats too big to fail is too big to exist.
Mason Weaver, Deneen Borelli, Rev. CL Bryant, and Lloyd Marcus are just a few of the black speakers at TPs I was at. As for Michael Steele, since other black speakers were at TPs there must be some other reason for him not being there.
How many black speakers at TPs would be enough? I have a feeling that no number would satisfy critics of the TP movement. Or they would move on to some other bogus complaint.
orionstarman 2 years ago
I agree, unfortunately the experiment was tried some years ago. Remember Bell? It did not go well.
I say cudos for providing me the list of black speakers at the TP's. However, and not to dimish your proof but why is it each of them felt the need to not be thought of as African Americans? That still seems odd to me, but I think you made your point.
I guess Micheal Steele will remain a mystery since other Republicans were allowed to speak. I still did not see any blacks in the crowd.
mabutoo 2 years ago
@mabutoo Why dose someone have to say that they are a Black-American or a White-American or an Hispanic-American or Irish-American or what ever kind of an American? Why do we use these words to separate ourselves into little groups. Ethic pride is fine but when you see yourself as part of the smaller group first and the larger group 2ed how will we ever come together as one people?
orionstarman 2 years ago
I think you are challenging my question with a question but that would be evasive. I am sure you did not mean to do that.
I think my point was why do the black speaker all start with denouncing their ethnicity before speaking. I looked at the videos of the names you provided and noticed that commonality in them. No other speakers did it. Why did they feel it necessary to do so? Seemingly collectively.
