The recent protests by the Tea-bagger movement against the health care bill went, by any reasonable person’s estimation, way over the line when they hurled insults at Congressman Frank by calling him a faggot. They also went over the line racially by calling Congressman Lewis, one of the bravest and most honored civil rights leaders alive a … (n-word). Of course while that was happening a Tea-bagger also spit on Congressman Cleaver.
Still, the GOP honored and endorsed these actions by not only attending the rally in support of it, but by also refusing to condemn the obvious racists and homophobes that were also there. The GOP has married itself to the lowest and most base of racists and scum in this country by continuing to support that people who bring racist signs to their rallies and signs that threaten the life of the President and his family.
Make no mistake, the people attending and condoning this behavior are not Americans. They are those who openly advocate over-turning a lawful election because they simply don’t like who was elected or his policies that he said he would implement if elected. In short, they lost and they are off and determined to stop President Obama, even if that means violence. They are of course sick and deranged. Still that said, why do they have the backing of the current GOP leadership?
The answer to the above question is simple, power. The current GOP is so stung by it’s loss last year that even their formerly honorable leaders such as Mike Pence are willing to embrace the disease of racial hatred if they think they might win their votes. Of course there are the more airhead lunatics of the right wing such as Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin, but the truth is that they are mostly harmless idiots. When it becomes really dangerous is when you have so-called leaders of the GOP like Mitch McConnell or John Boehner who also attach their names and support to the new KKK, simply because they want the control back. They have accepted the disease as a path back to power and to with America and what it’s supposed to stand for. They would rather win by any sick and racist means and rule over a broken America, just as long as they are the rulers. We should be very afraid of and fight this illness.
So, the question becomes, does the GOP leadership have an obligation to denounce the homophobia and blatant racism of the current Tea-bagger movement or is it really what they believe? Are they as racist and hateful as the group that they seem to support or are they using the rednecks and gay haters just as a step to try to regain control of the government?
The current GOP leadership has chosen to lay down with the sickest animals of racism and hate. They have to choose. Are they that power hungry or are they Americans first.

Democrats or Republicans don’t care about blacks pick up an history book and you will realize this to be true.

Democrats don’t believe in black folks so they create a welfare state because God knows, liberals know what is best for you! Republicans trust in black folks to achieve their hopes & dreams, & to be judged on their accomplishments & “content of their character” (MLK). Vote Republican!

@StoogeWatcher You know you are not being honest with yourself or the viewers: stating hatred only comes from the left. Calling progressives your “enemies” (Rep. Kind of Iowa) or the spitting and screaming at people like this is hatred. And when people painted Hitler mustaches on Bush, it was wrong too.

@777mslove If you liberals have such a problem with “unruly mobs”, why don’t you control your own and tell your hippie friends not to riot?

@Squatchmichael The only hatred is coming from the left, especially when it involves making up racism. Remember the Duke lacrosse rape hoax?

This is so sad. The GOP is flirting with hatred. Congratulations, right wing, you have devolved into pre-civil war mentally, and have completely invalidated any claims that the Tea Party is color-blind, and not about race or phobia. While I think Olbermann is a too over-the-top like the left-version of O’Reilly, he reports well investigated stories, despite his bias.

Unlike Canada (Coulter attacked by canadian gov). We allow our wackos, like, Oblerman and Alex Jones, to speak. You leftists are for free speak as long as it agrees with you feelings and beliefs. Cracker, Honky, Nig**, etc., should not be spoken by black or white

Shooting and throwing bricks at Leftist Democrats? Marxist 60′s IN REVERSE? Jefferson’s Patriots? My ancestor was with the “sons of liberty”, a rabel gang. He broke into the tax office and destroyed the means to perform the Stamp Act. He later declared War against his own government. We were all English Citizens. He was a terrorist. “One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.” My first TP rally, TeaPartyExpress dotorg
