Quick quiz. Who said the following:
If you’re against him [Obama] but you’re for this guy [Gingrich], it must be about race
Certainly you are thinking it must be some crazy leftist making this assertion. Of course thinking that would make you wrong.
That quote is from none other than Glenn Beck, the very man who helped push the Tea Party into prime time.
Beck made that assertion to Freedom Watch host Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox News Friday night. You can watch the video yourself.
For once I must agree with Beck, but the problem is that the Tea Party has always been about race. These people didn’t get upset when President Bush gave hundreds of billions to that banks in TARP. When news emerged a couple of weeks ago that Bush actually gave the banks trillions, did they get upset with Bush? Nope. Instead they tried to rewrite history and make Barack Obama President in 2007 and 2008.
The only thing the Tea Party is against is the fact there is a black man in the White House. We saw that outrage start during the 2008 election when people were proudly selling things like t-shirts saying “It’s called a ‘white’ house for a reason’ at Republican conventions. They showed their racism then and continue to show it today.
It’s warming now to see one of their biggest cheerleaders call them out for the racists they are. Thank you Glenn Beck for admitting to reality. Maybe we can continue to expose these hate filled bastards for what they really are – today’s KKK.
