There are small amounts of people in the Tea Party who would be described as "racist" that is a problem in the Tea Party that needs fixing.  They should distance and even kick out some members. Being a member should be a privilege not a right. 'Cause right now all they do is let more and more people join.

Distance yourselves from the old geezers with tea bags hanging from their hats. In other words, the clowns.

If you get rid of the clowns and racists then you have credibility. And then the Tea Party complaining that everyone says they're racist will be valid.

You guys won, I'm resorting to sarcasm.
The country will be in civil war within 5 years or so.

I, for one, encourage the rhetoric.  Let's get this over with rather then let it linger around forever.

Are you that myopic (or young, or foolish) that you think things have never been this bad before, and that they're so much worse that civil war within five years is inevitable? To the point where you're encouraging violent behavior?
The same kind of people that yell OMGZ! World War III! after any diplomatic escalation due to military exercises.

And by the way, its the other side that is most violent in its rhetoric and actions: (i know you wont like who the link is to, but the facts listed are irrefutable, because they are just facts, not commentary)

Am not,
Are too,
Am not,
Are too...

I bet you'll be able to find a lot of sites showing the exact opposite of what that links implies.  But, that's not your opinion, right?  So it's probably all fake, manipulated and part of the hate speech, right?
So... mostly legitimate acts of protest by isolated people, a few promotional posters of George Bush pointing a gun at his own head, and some admittedly tasteless attacks on conservatives by random members of the public?  I mean, the grasping at straws in that article is incredible is incredible.
Shut up, commie.
That ad is stupid. Comparing hunting to murder is stupid also.
Unless you hunt people.   ;D  (harmless joke to ease the tension)

Wow, that was an eye-opener, I hadn't even heard of most of that stuff.  In light of the accusations against Palin and Tea Partyers, it's pretty shameful/hypocritical of them.
Which, of course, makes violent rhetoric ok and absolves everyone.

Oh, and this one is good too.  WOW!
Wow! Random people over the internet saying whatever crap they like because they feel safe behind a computer!  That has NEVER happened before.
Wow, that was an eye-opener, I hadn't even heard of most of that stuff.  In light of the accusations against Palin and Tea Partyers, it's pretty shameful/hypocritical of them.
Did you actually read it, or just glance at it, saw it affirmed your views and said "yeah, all good"?  I mean, most of it seems to be "left wing people perform protests!  Zomg!".
Considering that the links he did post are a youtube video of twitter messages from random users and a Daily Mail Article that has REVENGE on it's title and never justifies the title, I don't think he checked his own links either.

Everyone can start posting selective comments of random trolls to explain how THE OTHER SIDE is evil.  But most people understand how flawed that is.

also, the link the first guy provided starts like this:
"The Tucson massacre ghouls who are now trying to criminalize conservatism have forced our hand."  Wait, what? 
Spoiler: "Really?" (click to show/hide)

And I absolutely love ANTI-TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE HATE.  (was ANTI-ANTI-GAY MARRIAGE HATE too convoluted?)
As for anyone who keeps trying to pin the killer on the oher team...

---

Imagine a soccer stadium, look at the most extreme fanatics, see how stupid, irrational and mass-following they are.  Now look at the internet.  There's a big section that acts so similarly it's funny.  You can't use hooligans to define soccer enthusiasts.  Don't try that on the internet either.

The only point you've made is that you don't like the Tea Party.

This whole thing was a waste of your time.

No, his point is that taking all the racists out of the Tea Party is like trying to take all the sand off the beach and still call it a beach.

But is it true to say the majority of Tea Party members are racists? No of course not. It's simply not true.

Sure, but their rhetoric certainly attracts them. Why else would they have hopped on the "Obama is a secret Kenyan Muslim" bandwagon?

The Tea Party isn't even one organized mass. It's just a collection of right-wing groups that was originally started among Ron Paul supporting Libertarians and it only really began collecting mass once McCain lost to Obama in the 2008 election.

The Tea Party can't just decide that Sarah Palin isn't its leader anymore or that it can eject the racists from the group. The USA's white racists will always be there because those groups are attracted to right-wing messages, especially anti-government messages when that government opposes their racism.

Am I the only one who noticed that the "whether or not the Tea Party is racist" thing got brought up as a counter to "the Tea Party uses batshit insane revolutionary rhetoric"?

It was literally:
Various people in various words: "The Tea Party calls for armed revolt and assassination, unlike any but the most obscure and alienated leftists."

The Tea Party isn't racist.  They don't discriminate at all.

They want to kill everyone who disagrees with them.
