Thread: proof that the tea party is racist

Yep, the policies of the Tea Party are enough to oppose them. This guy is just hillarious.

How do you know his reasons? Maybe he's a racist, and proud of it. I have a friend who is racist and proud. He's also a gun-toting supporter of Palin who just moved out of his parents' basement at age 30. He identifies himself as being a proud "Tea Partier" and racist.

All I'm saying is this guy might be a racist. Maybe he isn't. I don't know him, and I don't know his motivation behind the shirt. I suspect you don't either.

You know how everyone laughs at the "The Rent is too Damn High" party guy? The Tea Party (has nothing to do with what the Boston tea party was about) is "The Taxes are too Damn High" party.

Actually one way of hiding something is to place in the open and then it is not noticed or dismissed. Wearing a shirt that admits you are a racist takes a very special person to do that ---- a racist.

There's sheep on both sides. Saying there's no sheep on the right is as ludicrous as saying the whole Right is sheep. Saying that there's no racists in the Tea Party is as ludicrous as saying they're all racists.

But what do I know, I'm just a lefty waiting for my welfare check...

try as you might you cannot overcome the basic fact that American "liberalism" is collectivist in nature and a cursory review of this board demonstrates that most of the leftwing arguments come down to taking from some for the "greater good" or restricting the rights of some for the "general welfare". Dem tax policies, gun polices etc are all about that

or more likely someone who is tired of left wing ninnies who call people racist for opposing welfare socialism, affirmative action, or tax the rich schemes.

And having a t-shirt that says, "I'm a racist" on it

Sometimes a cigar is indeed a cigar. I take this man at his word.

I guess that sort of sarcasm goes over the head of many. It is like devout christians wearing those t-shirts mocking jihadist scum with arabic writing proclaiming the wearer an Infidel. The sarcasm comes from the wearer considering himself a religious person but using a label people he detests apply to him

the guy in the picture is more than likely mocking the ninnies on the left who call tea party members "racists"

Sure you do. There is no possible reason why anyone can oppose Saint Obama's wise policies unless one is a racist
