House of Eratosthenes

Update: As one of the commenters over at his place points out, there are more black people at tea parties than there are at MSNBC. Pot, meet kettle?

If there is, as is often said, “still some racism out there”…how long would you have to stay quiet about it, if you made a point of waiting for the racism to come along that knows darn good and well internally that racism is what it is trying to be, and doesn’t have to have its own motivations explained to it by a pasty-faced blowhard hypocrite like Olbermann? If we’re supposed to do something to those people…educate them…convert them…banish them…the greater priority would be placed on the conscious and deliberate ones, right? Wouldn’t that just make sense?

What is this obsession with racists who need to be told they’re racists? “Look around at the other people marching with you”? Good heavens. I can see it now. “Hey! That feller on the teevee is right! Ah’m out here with a bunch o’white folks just like me! Ah’m a racist and Ah dunno it!”

Don’t give up — oh, sorry. That is your day job. How sad.

Call it a draw?

Even if the gradate of Cornell Agriculture University is right, for argument sake, anybody and everyone is “invited” to go to these gatherings, even assholes who like Olbermann.

For the record, I witnessed, (has Olbermann even been to a Tea Party?) plenty of Blacks, young folks with dreadlocks and yes, even gay people at the March on DC this past Sept. Also, there were at least 4/5 Black speakers and even a Black, Conservative rap group (Yes, I just said that).

Lastly, I just love White people who feel the need to cry racism, as if they have any authority on the subject. As evidenced by the brilliant video, you better have a string standing before you open your mouth and taste the sweet taste of shoe sole…SIR!!!

Yeah, I’ve been following this tea party thing and going to the local ones for almost a year now … I don’t recall any of the “invites” specifying what race or gender or creed should show up. I don’t recall seeing anyone turning anyone away for any reason at all. You just show up, and whoever shows up is there.

If it’s mainly white people, it ain’t because they’re racist.

Maybe it’s because people like Olbermann are constantly telling them that all white people are racists (no irony there, eh?). You know, using the politics of fear.

Besides, I’ve seen black people at them, and I’ve even seen black people speaking at them. And I’ve even seen footage of black people at them being beaten up by anti-tea party forces (SEIU).

It almost makes you want to look at Mr. Olbermann with a quizzical look and ask, “Why you keep using that word? I do not think it means what you think it means.”

Lying Alinsky tactics are so deeply ingrained on the Left that most run-of-the mill street leftists have no idea they’re following him.

I just watched the Olbermann “rant”. I couldn’t make it past 45 seconds. And even that was difficult.

For these people, it is about the public appearance of self-righteousness to stroke their egos, nothing more. Facts be damned.

A lot of minorities continue to swallow the bull, hook-line-and-sinker, that government and only government can provide opportunities for them. That the world is “racist” and would throw them all out in the snow, but for Uncle Sam’s benevolence.

Sadly, many among minority groups continue to believe this, especially blacks. The Democrat party has them eating right out of their hands. So naturally, then, they’re afraid of a group like the Tea Partiers, who want to roll back the size and scope of government.

“Racist,” like “greed,” is a word that has been robbed of all objective meaning. It shouldn’t even be part of our language anymore.
