I have. When ever they show crowd shots of a tea party gathering, whether it's local or a national gathering on the Mall in D.C. there is a definite lack of minorities in the crowds. If you ask the tea partiers they will deny being racist. Then there was the speech of former Congressman Tom Tancredo at the Tea Party Nation recently in Nashville, where Tancredo called for a return of Jim Crowe laws. But they're not racists, are they? Last night on Countdown, Keith Olbermann addressed this issue. I wonder if they have to pay some African Americans to show up to these "friendly" meetings. MEDEFCO has invited all the Michgian gubernatorial candidates to speak. Sounds like something even I should be welcome to attend.
A local tea party group, MEDEFCO will be holding a meeting on Tuesday, February 23 at Barrister Gardens 24225 Harper Avenue, St. Clair Shores at 7 p.m.
Apparently I'm not welcome, according to Brian Pannebecker, one of the leaders of MEDEFCO.
The MEDEFCO meeting is a private monthly meeting of supporters of our Constitution who want to take our government back.
Anti-Tea Party protesters and agitators will NOT be allowed inside to disrupt the meeting, especially "low-life lurkers" like Bruce Fealk. The St.Clair Shores Police will be more than happy to help us prevent disturbances from left-wing wackos like Fealk and his buddys.
Former Congressman, Tom Tancredo, spoke last weekend at the Tea Party Nation in Nashville last weekend. About 600 teabaggers gathered at the Grand Ole Opry hotel. Tancredo put forth the idea that we should return to the days of literacy tests in order to be able to vote. These laws were called Jim Crowe laws when they were used to keep African Americans from voting.
Teabaggers will try to tell you that their opposition to President Obama is not about racism. They are lying. Judging by the applause Tancredo drew by calling for the return of Jim Crowe laws make it impossible to say that the Tea Party is not a group of blatant racists.
While most polls on the internet that are labeled as "unscientific" usually fade into obscurity even before all the votes are tallied, every now and then one becomes a meme.
