If the right-wing spin machine hasn’t voraciously jumped on it yet, the next talking point you’re bound to hear on FIX News is what’s going to be called an outrageous remark from Indianapolis’ very own Democratic representative in the House, Andre Carson. He claimed yesterday in a forum of the Congressional Black Caucus that a lot of the new Tea Party members of Congress would like to see him and his fellow CBC members “hanging from a tree”. The righties are almost certainly going to jump on this and make the expected, “We’re not the racists, the left are the racists” claim, but I think Carson makes a good point, and I hope he won’t back down either. The individual members of the Tea Party may not be racist (although I believe a lot of them are), but the policies they advocate have a disproportionately adverse effect on the black and Hispanic communities.
That must be part of that new bipartisan approach the President is urging.
How dare you! You don’t know a soul in the so called “Tea Party”! We are a grass roots group believing in limited government. we welcome EVERYONE!!!!!!! We are TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY and are totally inclusive. Everyone should pay their fair share and every one should have skin in the game. Race is NEVER an issue with conservatives. It’s only an issue with Liberals who need to buy votes. ANd what is so amazing about that is that anyone of any color should be able to see that. WE welcome all. They denigrate and expel everyone who doesn’t toe their line.
