Extremist Tea Party - Follow up to previous blog

Like you didn't already know, but I am officially an extremist. Not by my extreme standards but by the NAACP. I'm reading their little story about the "Tea Party" (www.teapartynationalism.com) and all most all the pictures they have posted are extreme and I find inappropriate. I would have liked them sourced (date, tea party rally location) just so I know they are from actually TP rallies and not just other rallies. But I found one quote they used very mild so I must be extreme:

Donna Baker, a TPN member from Gainesboro, Tennessee, for example, wrote: “Yes, things ran quite well before the swarm of manipulated underclasses invaded our country. If they stayed home and made half the effort to change their country as they do marching our streets demanding our laws not be enforced, they could change their own lives. They are blindly being used and manipulated by other forces ... [they are] a huge burgeoning looming voting bloc.”

I don't believe things ran quite well before some date in this persons mind, but if these hard working people did change things back home, it might be a better place. I know that if my ancestors had also demanded better conditions I wouldn't be here either but my ancestors didn't expect this government to take care of them without assimilation.

Are real racists, homophobes and anti-Semites in the movement, yes just like there are communists in the white house (v.jones)

This report takes small incidents, bloggers and just a few photos out of thousands of rallies, millions of people and say they are all this way. I guess we all look the same to the NAACP.
