how is calling him hitler racist? a monkey? i don't see that racist either.

The point wasn't that it was racist, the point was that the media didn't lose their collective minds when the left displayed posters of Bush as Hitler, calling for his death or as a monkey, but as soon as the same thing happened to their darling it a race to see how many can call the most people racist.

well the difference is that calling a white man hitler or a monkey is not racist. calling a black man a monkey is racist.

Really? So the NAACP didn't just draft and sign a resolution that specifically calls the TEA Party a group of racist? What rock do you live under?



Give me a break, the media, NAACP, and the rest of the loony left just have to see a picture single sign at a rally, and even if that person was expelled from the rally, and shunned by the TEA Party as a whole it is more than enough to label the entire movement as racist, and they have been.
And the Hysterical Right Wing Nuts such as yourself see conspiracies under each rock..that you crawl out from under.

Calling a black man Hitler is racist? So you have two men that you think are have the intelligence of a monkey, one is white, one is black, you're only a racist when you call the black guy monkey, interesting. If you have a group of children running around a jungle gym, with a good mix of white, black, and say Asian kids, and you say "look at all those kids swinging around the jungle gym like little monkeys", is it only racist towards the black kids? Anyway, the bigger point is that the media didn't seem to care about the calls for Bush's death, or sings comparing him to Hitler, or pictures of him as a monkey, but as soon as some uses the same tactics on Obama, all of a sudden it's racism, even if the intent is the same, that's just stupid, and weak.

Hahaha, seriously ...get a grip fruitcake. There's no conspiracy, the NAACP DID draft a resolution calling the TEA Party a bunch of racist, and fruitcake loony leftist DO call everyone that criticizes Obama a racist.

are you a idiot or trolling?

calling a black man a monkey has been racist for a very long time.

the rest of your post is idiotic. kids playing on bars and calling them monkey's is not the same.

Where did I say it hasn't been? My point was intent which clearly went over you head. By the way, can you post a pic from a TEA Party rally of a sign with Obama as a monkey?

Haven't you learned yet that it is okay to be racist as long as you are a minority ?

I bet when white people become a minority [in 20 years or so from now], that it will still be common to claim only white people can be racist and to blame "minority" failings on white people. Its like the Jews, they number 12 million total [in the entire world] yet are blamed for everything by racist groups [including black ones], Muslim groups hate them with a passion, and even nations like Iran blame them for everything. Just because Jews are barely existant numbers wise doesnt mean anything, its still easier to blame them than to own up to the fact that they fail because of other reasons.

Same deal with white people in the US, already its accepted that black communities [on average] fail due to racism from white people [which is absurd]. I know not every black community/area blames white people but if you ever take a sociology class in college, the intended message is that white people = racist. Minority poverty and crime = caused by white racism. If our school systems are teaching this today, that mindset wont go away in the future. White people could be 10% of the population and still be blamed for everything just like Jews are.

Well I know if I was in charge of one of those rallies the first thing I'd do is have a volunteer go through the crowd looking for offensive signs and have them explain to those with the sign that it only hurts the movements credibility. I bet they do just that. Now that's not to say most of the Tea Partiers are racists because I'm sure most of them aren't, at least outwardly.Of course there are always a couple of "We the People" in every one of those crowds who can't help themselves.

Heres the deal. If only one person out of a million had a poster like that, the Media will fly to it like flies to shit and claim the entire group is racist. And if they cant prove its racist they will surely spin it as racist...Anyone remember the media going on and on about a 'racist white guy' who showed up to a Obama town hall meeting with a AK ? The video only showed the man from the waist down, turned out the gun holder was a black man. Of course before his race was identified, it was listed as proof-positive that only racists [which is codeword for white males] are against Obama.


Found the video, the guy had a AR-15 rifle.

And how is your claim here any different than what the media has done to this lady so far?

i agree 100% they should have had people in the crowd looking and talking to people with such signs. stuff like that should have been delt with.

just seems some in the media are spinning a lot of crap and labeling many as racist when they aren't .

This lady, as a individual made racist statements and was caught on tape...That is completely different than labeling an entire group as racists since one person has a racist poster in a crowd of thousands. That is largely what the NAACP is doing in regards to the Tea party, im sure the Media who are anti-Tea party are like this when they see such an opportunity, "hey look, most of them at the Tea Party rally are white people and one person has a racist poster! zoom in on it and exaggerate it!! Make it look like thats the common line of thought amongst them".

And the NAACP is more racist than the Tea party yet you rarely, if ever hear the media claim the NAACP is in the least bit racist.

you took that way out of context and left out a lot.

unfortanatly all the stories have updated with stuff and left out that quote (from what i can find though) .

she said she was getting harrased by her administartors who claim they were getting calls by the white house. she said that the white house and adminstration were scares fo the tea party.

Right, you don't comprehend what I am saying and I am a troll. :rolleyes:


Congratulations, you found one pic, from one of the first TEA Party rallies, that is using an old saying to make a point that could be taken as racist. This is what I meant when I said intent. I'd be surprised if the person that made that sign actually thought that someone would take it as them calling Obama a monkey, some people don't see racism is everything.

naacp has a long history of racism and separatism. All this is nothing new. Fanning the flames of hate and discontent assures their survival.

Are you serious? NAACP didn't just materialize out of thin air for no reason.
