    This reasoning bones common sense in the ass. It's like saying the emancipation proclaimation was racist since it disproportionately benefitted blacks.

    Aside, I don't know how many more times you guys have to get played by this guy to realize he is just scrweing with you a la Space City Kid. Maybe he will "accidentally" log on to his "girlfriend"s account again like he did a few years ago.

    I somewhat promised Sweet Lou, RJ, and Groogrux that I would stop slapping you around, so I am going to be more gentle. In your prior remark I thought about cutting you down to size, but, like this one, there was not even enough substance there to whittle with a pen knife.

    1) Accusing tea parties of racism when there was little to no proof.

    2) Statements that a black politician was cursed and spat upon on his way to the House, yet there is no video or audio proof despite a $100,000 reward for evidence.

    3) TeaParty365 co-founder David Webb, who happens to be black, went on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to denounce the “selective racism” of the NAACP. He complained that NAACP President Benjamin Jealous “will not condemn the New Black Panther Party for saying that they want to kill crackers and kill cracker babies, whereas he would condemn the KKK or any element that shows up . . . and claims that they are a part of the Tea Party.” -- Kurt Nimmo

    4) NAACP and Shirley Sherrod berate Fox News for racism, but NAACP and Obama called for her resignation while Fox asked for the whole clip and took her side. The video belonged to the NAACP -- who released it to Breitbart months after the speech and why?

    5) The NAACP, an organization once dedicated to the protection of minorities, is now opposing peaceful political dissidents. The organization’s campaign against the Tea Party is a glaring example of racism employed for political purposes, and the subsequent abandonment of principles. As ABC reports, the NAACP has … unanimously passed a resolution that calls on Tea Party members to repudiate what [NAACP President Ben] Jealous says are “ultra-nationalist and racist factions within the organization.” -- Bevan Sabo (But the NAACP does not have any such factions in its membership. :rolleyes: )

    These are only the surface of a quick Google search.

    We've gone over the proof and evidence of the people at the tea party rally who called congressmen the N word. There are eyewitnesses as well as the fact the professionals in law enforcement and secret service investigated and felt it warranted additional security. Not having video of something doesn't prove or disprove anything.

    The NAACP calling on the tea party to renounce its racist elements isn't racism.

    I posted a video of FOX news calling Sherrod a racist, and claiming her racism was caught on tape. The Obama administration and NAACP also rushed to judgment of Sherrod. The only difference is that after it happened, the NAACP and Obama administration all apologized. FOX on the other hand tried to pretend like they weren't guilty of the same rush to judgment everyone else was.

    Your proof is flimsy.

    ok, it's official. thumbs was the name of the fake conservative account i drunkenly made nearly a decade ago and an admin is screwing with us.

    i cannot believe there are still people who aren't outraged by what breitbart did and instead want to focus all the attention on the naacp. and people wonder why the tea party is considered racist. the proof is in the vanilla pudding.

    Several tea party members saw Ben Jealous spitting on JFK's grave at Arlington. Not having video of something doesn't prove or disprove anything. Your proof that it didn't happen is flimsy. The game can be played both ways -- anybody can say anything, but proof is required for credibility. See you tomorrow.

    there is no authenticity given to that ridiculous claim that Ben Jealous spat on JFK's grave. Nothing.

    But Republican leadership has already condemned tea party activists for calling black caucus congressmen the "n" word.

    Why would they do that if the evidence was flimsy. I just find it odd that you demand more in evidence from posters here than the party you support demands in terms of evidence. They are convinced, why aren't you?

    Are you saying Republican leaders were wrong to condemn this behavior since there is only "flimsy" proof it happened?

    Funny that you demand proof now for credibility. But when you make assumptions about a health care bill ("I know it'll cost more than they say! I have no evidence but I'm sure of it!") or about a liberal media bias or about any number of other stupid things based on no factual substance, you seem to think your viewpoints have credibility. Strange, no?

    Lets not forget that the subject of this thread was an umbrella group of the Tea Party disciplining a subgroup for racist rhetoric.

    Again I find it surprizing that thumbs as a member and probably the most vocal proponent of the Tea Party is continuing to derail a thread that is meant to complement the Tea Party.

    I don't recall you making that promise to me and if you did I won't hold you to it. That said I will make the suggestion that both of you stop slapping each other down and remarks about cutting each other down to size are not conducive.

    Ok how many law enforcement and secret service agencies looked into the incident and felt it warranted extra security for JFK's grave? How many of those tea party members that were witnesses faced down brutal attack dogs, abusive law enforcement and discrimination fighting for civil rights, to earn their good name?

    There is more proof besides just the witnesses. We can play the game, and we may never agree, but that doesn't mean that there isn't proof the incident happened.

    I agree with you here RJ. I mean, it seems that thumbs is actually more radical than the tea party's position? It's kinda strange.
