Racism on the Right?

Here's Michele Bachmann in an interview with Sean Hannity in which both claim there is no proof of racism among Tea Partiers. At certain place during the narrative I've superimposed still images from various Tea Party rallies, as well as right-wing art, that disprove their claims. I'm not saying that all Republicans, conservatives and/or Tea Partiers are racists, but for Sean and Michele to claim that it doesn't exist is to ignore clear evidence to the contrary.

Poorly produced. The misleading (and irresponsible) use of the flashing images are not mitigated by the so-called "Full-Disclosure" statement at the end. If "racism" is indeed the issue, there are less inflammatory ways of bringing attention to it than smearing an entire group of people.

@RighteousSavage To paraphrase Adlai Stevenson -- If Conservatives will stop telling lies about Liberals, we'll stop telling the truth about them.

Comments pending approval by who? If there is not profanity what is the problem? Is this political censorship like AOL when their boards turned radical right wing and started booting everyone that said anything bad about Bush? Let's hope not because that is what I quite AOL over.

[TammyTurnip]

@whatnowgop Approval by me. That step alerts me so I can read the comment and reply if I choose to. So far I've not censored anyone's comments. Yours included.

Excellent video....brilliant the way you've made liars out of them with the actual pictures from teabagging rallies.

[TammyTurnip]

@ChuckyJesus666 Thanks, Chucky. Liars they are.

redistribution of wealth? wealth redistribution has gone from the bottom to the top in the past 30 years. is the tea party made up of people in the top 20% only? obama cut taxes for the middle class and has not repealed the bush tax cuts from the upper class. so if this is really about redistribution of wealth then why did they pick now and not 20 years ago when there taxes were higher to protest? makes no sense.

@TammyTurnip Thanks for admitting that you are telling lies.

You seen your check yet for having video/photo evidence?

[UncleFred34]

@RighteousSavage So we shouldn't smear an entire group of people, like Nazis or Skinheads, right?

Since the taxes are lower than anytime since the 1950s it's hard for them to use that crap on normal people. The redistribution of wealth has gone from the working people and the middle class to the richest people in the world. Maybe that is what they mean, but I doubt it. They are corporate boot lickers and when they lose their jobs it not because of things they did. It's always another person's fault.
