Yeah, OK, I’m the blogger, but you’ll agree, I’m sure if you read the Washington Times article entitled “Academics dub tea partyers devout, racist<\/a>“;<\/p>\n

Gathering this weekend in Seattle for the annual American Political Science Association convention, several professors argued that tea party Republicans are more likely than other voters, and even than most others in the GOP, to harbor racial hostility, as judged by their answers in a broad pre-election survey administered in October 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cTea Party activists have denied accusations that their movement is racist, and there is nothing intrinsically racist about opposing \u2018big government\u2019 or clean energy legislation or health care reform. But it is clear that the movement is more appealing to people who are unsympathetic to blacks and who prefer a harder line on illegal immigration than it is to other Americans,\u201d wrote Gary C. Jacobson, a professor at the University of California, San Diego, in his paper \u201cThe President, the Tea Party, and Voting Behavior in 2010.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I’ll concede that tea party members might be unsympathetic to Blacks merely BECAUSE they’re black, but that’s kind of the whole point of the civil rights movement, isn’t it? Liberals see Blacks as incompetent children who need liberals’ help, whereas conservatives see Blacks as people just like us who are as competent and well-adjusted as we are and the vast majority of Blacks are just like I said…and there is a tiny minority of them who want handouts and need to be coddles…just like there are whites who do the same thing.<\/p>\n

I guess it’s easier for “academics” to just toss out the racist label than to admit that they are the ones who’ve perverted Martin Luther King Jr’s message and dream.<\/p>\n

\u201cTea Party supporters displayed high levels of racial resentment and held very negative opinions about President Obama compared with the rest of the public and even other Republicans,\u201d [Alan I. Abramowitz, a professor at Emory University] wrote. \u201cIn a multivariate analysis, racial resentment and dislike of Barack Obama, along with conservatism, emerged as the most important factors contributing to support for the Tea Party movement.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maybe conservatives think that Obama is an incompetent boob irrespective of the level of melanin in his skin pigment. Notice how large numbers of former Obama supporters are coming to the same conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
