What the fuck is a “leukomasochistic liberal?” Don’t project your perversions onto us, man.
It’s “too race-focused”? That’s probably because he’s talking about race. That is the subject. So, just to be clear, talking about something one time means you’re too focused on it? How on earth do you have the authority to talk about how this guy “sees everything”?
It seems obviously true to me that if there were a bunch of paramilitarily-accoutered black groups saying violent things about democratically elected government officials, and they had the support of a bunch of prominent TV personalities and of a bunch of presumably more moderate people who nonetheless claimed an affiliation with them, the country would be in a fucking uproar until they were all rounded up. Does anybody seriously disagree that a bunch of black Americans wouldn’t be able to get away with the kind of images and statements the Tea Partiers are using in that video the same way the Tea Partiers get away with it?
From his intepretation of the Bible which also justified both (to give two extreme example) Torqumada’s and the Amish’s beliefs.
What does that tell you about the Bible having any clear message?
Certainly one of the problems seems to be overliteralizing one particular passage of the Bible such as Jesus’ conversation with the rich man on giving away his possessions.

I think the concern with that is how it has revealed racist application of the law within the Justice Dept.
I got confused by the double negative in this sentence. But, yes I think that black americans would certainly be able to get away with this. Further, black americans (or hispanic) can have explicitly black groups yet you won’t hear them being called racist. Go figure.
That’s not really the case. If the tax-lowering legislation comes from the Obama administration, the Tea Party doesn’t particularly care about it. If Obama lowered the taxes of every American to $0 the Tea Party’s ire would not be abated one iota. They are less concerned with financial discipline than with righting the abomination of a black president. There’s no need to sugar-coat the obvious.
That’s bullshit considering that Marco Rubio is a major leader in the Tea Party movement. Are some of the racist idiots, why yes but they’re everywhere.
There were also blacks who fought for the Confederacy. Your argument would basically be saying that because of that, the Confederacy was not racist.
The Tea Party movement is motivated by a number of factors, some more important than others depending on the individual: selfishness, racism, fear, a need for certainty (in a time when the establishment they believed has been shown not to have their interests at heart), etc. Racism is part of it, but in the U.S., race is intrinsically tied to socio-economic class.
Curtis, aren’t you a bit young to be using words like the one I bolded? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Also, your assertion doesn’t necessarily follow. Mark Rubio definitely was not the impetus for the Tea Party movement; he simply lends it a slight, wafting air of legitimacy because of his Florida speakership and his position on property taxes. However, he’s a Republican, no surprise there as Cubans in Florida are overwhelmingly Republican, and racist, and because the Tea Party is really just the crazy wing of the Republican party. I’m not clear why you hold Rubio up as some kind of bulwark against accusations of racism.
