's message, "One Tea Party members response to the NAACP" on 19:43:03 07/18/10 Sun
What I do repudiate is the tactic of calling us (Tea Party members) a Party of racists & bigots. That tactic is racist. It is inflammatory. It is divisive and bigoted. That tactic violates the substance of President Obama's promise of a post racial world that deals with issues and not race and ethnicity. These days, the quickest way to silence criticism is to call the critics racists, bigots, sexists, and homophobic. The tactic is meant to stifle honest opposition because the name callers have no honest response to the legitimate objections that people have for an out of control Congress. ~ Bill Randall - July 14, 2010
