No, I'm sure that handful of people no more represent the "Tea Party" than Robert Byrd being in the Klu Klux Klan or George Wallace personally standing in the door of the university in Alabama to stop blacks from entering represents the Democrat party.
That's what is wrong with our politics lately. Everybody is sensationalizing stupid shit that isn't representative of true viewpoints.
Those are some disturbed people who knew they would get attention with those racist signs. I see that kind of behavior all the time from people wanting attention.
You can't take that and condemn millions of people across the country for those stupid actions by a handful.

Oh common man.. The whole "liberal" thing as a dirty word is everywhere it's on every forum including this one. It's on Fox news everyday. Much the same as the evil Socialist mental retardation, that gets spewed out of the mouth of the Right's talking heads on a daily basis.
The Racist shit is usually reserved for their little rallies but they sell fucking Obama is Hitler buttons & t-shirts at these rallies. They sell "let's put the white back in the white house" shirts & buttons at their rallies..
I mean fuck I lean toward the left but myself I'm Conservative about some issues & liberal about others. Anyone that tries to say they aren't the same is likely just trying to fool themselves.
Sadly some of the left has started to dip into the same kind of hate mentality as the Right has been pushing for so long, with the whole eat the rich bull shit.
I mean fuck if the tea party was just about smaller govt and responsibility to the people from that govt then I'd be all for it. They aren't however.. They use that as their platform but are infested with hate.
Much the same as OWS movement. I mean I can't imagine many people could actually support the fact that out govt is over run by big business and special interest. If OWS stuck to that issue then I'd support them as well, but instead they have their own amount of crack pots that go overboard with their type of hate for the rich.
The difference between the Right & Left and these two groups is the hate has almost over run the right to the point they will not even attempt to work with the left. With the left while we might have some ignorant haters, they are very far from being mainstream, yet I can see it becoming more mainstream as people on the left give up on trying to work with people on the right.
I mean fuck, the GOP's entire tactic since Obama has been in office is to block everything and stagnate the govt to the point nothing gets done. How can anyone work with a group that has already decided not to work with you?
