The discussion of evolutionary forces and their effect on voting and economic patterns should not be considered ‘racist’ in my opinion. It is really sociology if people are willing to have the honest discussion on race that Eric Holder accuses us of being to cowardly to have. I think ‘racism’ is a code word to silence discussions of items important to the future of the nation.
‘Racism’, in my mind, is illustrated by people like Hines Ward who, as an Asian-African descendent, has established a charity that excludes those who do not share his genetic background.
In either case, if this is the most effective imagery that the Left can paint of ‘teabagger hate’, it speaks to the movement’s character. See Jeremiah Wright or Van Jones for a comparison. These two have made the choice to be openly public figures. This guy just seems to be fed up with the growth of the government, which is his right as a private Citizen.

“which prompted my comment” is supposed to be “which prompted my favorite comment”.
It is amazing that the teabaggers who are opposed to the huge amount of stimulus “spending” often do so on anti-tax grounds. Wasn’t over 40% of the stimulus actually tax cuts?
Wow. Talk about a swine. How the hell does Saxby Chambliss manage to look himself in the mirror after the nauseating, despicable campaign he ran against Max Cleland?
If he does give a humble speech, I hope Michelle shows up in a sleeveless shirt and shorts. The mixed messages will cause heads to explode all over the country.
