Philly Tea Party Holding White-Sheet-Wearing Klan Rally . . . No, Wait . . .
For a second there the headline of this post made the liberal trolls cream their pants, but this is going to be a Tea Party featuring nine prominent black conservative speakers…
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel ZippersLast week’s NAACP-fueled debate about racism in the tea party movement appears to have led to some fresh introspection among tea partiers. On July 31, several tea party groups will come together in Philadelphia for a “Uni-Tea Rally” featuring a host of African-American conservative voices. Though it wasn’t planned as a response to the NAACP flap, those behind it are happy to take on repairing the damage done to tea party outreach by Mark Williams recently.
. . . Nine African-American conservatives are scheduled to appear at the July 31 rally, which is co-sponsored by the Independence Hall Tea Party Association in Philadelphia and the Uni-Tea organization. Emceeing the event will be David Webb, spokesperson for the Tea Party Federation.
“This was something that has been in the works for months,” Adams, who is president of the Independence Hall group, said. “It’s not a response to the charges by the NAACP.”
But “we recognize that we have to and want to reach out to minorities,” she added.
Adams told me the idea for the rally began months ago in the midst of charges of racism thrown at the tea party following some bigoted shenanigans during the health care debate. Adams said that then — as now — charges that the tea party is racist are false. But she said that it’s lucky her rally is happening now, after Williams’ post created a huge focus on racism in the tea party.
Won’t that just piss off the Good Humor man? That would be Mr Sherrod and the other retarded members of the back-to-1964 crowd.
I love this!
I’m disappointed at how easy it was for one Tea party group to immediately disavow another Tea Party group – on national TV – instead of concentrating on what they have in common. Since there’s no central “astroturf” agency one group is not responsible for another group or individual. If we start apologizing and turning on each other with every comment from the left, we will disintegrate and that, of course is the goal of the left.
David Webb is a race profiteer who wrecked a deal between the Tea Party and the NAACP to facilitate his continued pay check.
