The truth has nothing to do with it. I agree with you on a lot of points, but what you write often makes no sense.

So, when a true grass roots movement comes along espousing smaller government, fiscal and personal responsibility, and American exceptionalism, they naturally feel threatened when the movement gains a following the size the various tea party organizations enjoy.

Rep. Allen West, a tea party member and member of the Congressional Black Caucus has written a letter to the chairman of the CBC, Emmanuel Cleaver, requesting that he condemn Andre Carson's remarks as well as those of Rep. Maxine Waters, who said in a public forum that "The Tea Party can go straight to hell."

Really, the Dems promote class warfare, racial division, etc...Hard to accept that if you're a race that was discrimanated against for 90% of our nations history.

What you're really saying is all these little groups should accept their lot in life and not fight for equality.

OS - the problem is that while you may have valid points, you have not atriculated them from a position that promotes the positive. In essence, your playing the same blame game, class division, et al that you accuse the other side of.

Instead - offer some solutions and define how they would fix the problem. If your a tea partier, focus on why certain actions would improve the situation by comparison to what has already failed.

@Armistead - 90% of our nations history? This country has been around for ~235 years now. 90% of that is 211.5 years. So your saying that people of minority status have been discriminated against up until roughly 1996.....

What happened then to fix it all? More importantly, how does the OP's desired point - a congressman stating that an entire group of politically minded citizens with a view he disagrees with wants to lynch minorities *which is entirely inaccurate, inappropriate and divisive* be taken as anything but an attempt to generate angst and anger against others?

Not every person on the left hates the US, or wants to kill babies, or any other of that nonsense. However, there are those that speak in ways designed to inflame racial divisions, and this is an example of it - for no good reason.
