Do ducks quack?
Considering how much effort the Tea Party is putting into PR to counter the charge of racism against them, you would think they might have checked the websites run by the organizations of which they are composed.

National Tea Party Federation and Racism
by Rotten Orchard
Tue Jul 27, 2010 at 01:15:17 AM EDT
The National Tea Party Federation’s list of members can be seen here.
Their statement on the NAACP’s criticism and on race in general:
… we emphatically deny that their are existing Tea Party racist leaders based upon the facts. Those facts being no one inside the Tea Party Movement can identify any person fitting the parameters the NAACP announced. Further, we challenge the NAACP to identify those leaders or those bona fide Tea Party Groups publicly taking a racist position or making racist statements. The Tea Party Groups do not sponsor, support, encourage or even ignore racists.
Where can one go to find out whether the NTPF’s positions are possibly extremist and/or bigoted?
For anyone seeking the mission of these movements one needs to look no further than their websites.
OK, can do.
- Rotten Orchard’s diary :: ::
Reverse blackface “Bobo The Clown”
Promoting Breitbart
Part of a Grand Jury to accuse Obama of “Fraud and Treason.”
Joke blog posting about Muslims.
Natural Born Citizen … “there is no possible way for BHO to be our president.”
Racial ProfilingTed Nugent For President … wow.
Guantanamo BayThe Aitken Tea Party seems to be connected to The Original Tea Party of Minnesota, which was formed by this guy. His positions are as follows:
Boycotting Best Buy for their Muslim war on Christmas.
“you can’t take the Ghetto out of the organizer”
All people who protest are defacto illegal immigrants?
Islam is on a quest for world domination.
“Islam is taking over the UK – are we next?”Various comments on whites, blacks, and the lazy and self-centered.
Kagan is a “stealth candidate”… because she supported school desegregation.
Government raids on militias are unconstitutional.
Those who rely on government aid are “parasites.”
Political correctness is being shoved down his throat. (I’d say there’s little evidence of that based on his Internet posts).
Racial profiling isn’t racist… “it is the only way to keep America safe.”Democrats are the party of racism, and other various comments on race.
“We’ll take away… his dignity at the tea party” (So that’s part of the purpose of the Tea Parties?)
“Will O give up going gangsta”
“Gestapo and SS officers to intimidate US citizens into giving up more freedoms.”Oath Keeper, militia hero, and co-author with white supremacist “Sheriff Mack a Hit at 4/15 Event!”
Led by the head of the Desert Cities Minutemen, a nativist extremist group.
What exactly is their problem with liberals being anti-racism and anti-homophobia?
“When will your Caucasian progressive pals stop using leftie ‘social justice’ minority groups to do your bidding?
Tip: If you can only think of one adjective to describe a black politician, it’s better to remain silent than use “articulate.”What exactly was it about Lebron James that made you think he wouldn’t be like the rest of “us?”
“Every once in awhile, someone comes along and uses just the right words to describe a situation. This is it.”
“The majority of people coming over now are people we need to be worried about.”Obama has a “hazy personal background.”
On Clinton: “nobody ever, ever doubted his good-old-boy American bonafides.”

“Birth Certificate” will be an epiphany
“Obama is going to Saudi Arabia… The Hadj, perhaps?”
“Obama, what’s up? Wouldn’t mideast envoys with less “Jewish” sounding names be more readily accepted?”
Obama will turn healthcare over to unions, Acorn, Soros… asdf (labor, blacks, jews).With Macaca Allen.
Note: The NAACP doesn’t owe the Tea Party or anyone else a statement on the New Black Panthers.
Obama a closet muslim? “no prayer and deeeep bow…Hmm”
Color of Change akin to terrorists?
Note: If you want us to believe that you don’t support their signs about slavery, don’t feature them on your website.“Sotomayor’s confirmation will mark a defining moment… the end of equality for all men!!”
His views on Michael Jackson“Please listen to the following for the two clips…”
Note: The woman in the video says she’s glad Obama won and it makes her feel as though she won’t have to be so worried about gas and house payments, and they turn it into that.
Obama admits he is a Muslim
“Our Founding Fathers built this country on 28 powerful principles“A little background info about the local leaders and the various fascinating opinions of the head of the national Constitution Party, Chuck Baldwin.
Supporters of the healthcare bill are mercenaries.
Protest signs featured in videos produced by the group:
We came unarmed, this time
Taxation proves that slavery was not abolished
Obama is fascist, ACORN is a criminal enterprise
ACORN, bringing prostitution to a neighborhood near you
Is that George Allen again?They really, really, really, really, really approve of Joe Wilson’s unprecedented behavior.
He demands to see that birth certificate!

Leaders went on a “Caribbean cruise” to spread the homophobic anti-science platform of a guy condemned by the ADL.
They’re being put in chains by the first black president.
Blacks need to stop drinking the Koolaid. Democrats destroyed black families.“Obama’s NASA objectives: New American Sharia Accomodation”
Obama is a “hood” who is “robbin”people.
Still defending the statements Rush made about a black quarterback that got him fired from ESPN. Really? Still?
Promoting Rush’s view that Sotomayor is a racist.Yup, it’s the brother/sister team again.
And they really support the crusade of this guy, and this guy.
Featuring a John Birch Society video
Featuring the woman who posted this video. Note the discrepancy between what Rubin said and what she claims he said.
Blogger claims recorded audio of their meeting in which they promote racial profiling limited to Spanish speaking countries, Asia, and Africa… and want to deny citizenship to children born in the country to illegal immigrants. Note: this is 2nd hand information.
Events organized by a member of the National Board of Directors for Oath Keepers.
- LAREDO TEA PARTY PATRIOTS
In their official response to the NAACP, they claim the NAACP doesn’t embrace people regardless of color, race, religion, gender, or political affiliation. They do.
Sponsored an event featuring NumbersUSA, a group denounced by the SPLC. LULAC, the oldest Latino civil rights organization in America, protested the event and forced the university hosting it to drop NumbersUSA from the schedule.
Also, “The Kenyan Has to Go!”Yup, that guy.
Tip: If you’re organizing a protest of the first black president’s administration and you come from a place called Lynchburg, don’t start a drive to send ropes to elected officials as a symbol of your anger: Got Rope?
It was the media’s fault George Allen is a racist.
“it is time for corporate America to wake up and give a good, hard tug on the leash.”Cities (with large black populations) are “rat holes.”
Obama is championing “reparations” for blacks.What happened to America? “One word- “diversity.”
Concerned ACORN will skew the census.“Obama is threatening to have Black Panthers and OFA use force to stop tea party movement. Chicago goon tactics abound.”
“Racism is being promoted by Obama and his black pawns. Wakeup”
“Obama should be impeached for sowing seeds of racism”
Tells Obama to go back to Africa.America should thank British Petroleum
The “soon to be mayor” calls John “the leader” in the video.
Obama’s “questionable heritage.” I strong recommend everyone follow the link and read his entire rant. I would also recommend everyone visit John’s LinkedIn page (he’s a big-whig) and go watch the 2nd half of the video mentioned above. It gives a very clear picture of how elites in the Republican party are really running the show, and how cynically they’re using the base with their rhetoric.“I say term limit and age limit to even run! We don’t need the dumb young candidates… and we sure as hell don’t need these dotey old…”
Posting comments on white supremacist-connected biker gang websites.
“Ummm… what about the white guys?”
Support Rand Paul’s position on the Civil Rights Act.Gay marriage is a slippery slope to pedophilia
Tip: When you realize you may be spouting hate speech and bigotry, your response shouldn’t be “that’s too bad.”
Taxes are slavery. Tip: No, slavery is slavery.
Promoting the statement that Islam is arrogant and insensitive.Breitbart operative
Led by a stealth candidate for the Democratic primary in a largely black district who is attempting to infiltrate the party and who claims he’s “no Democrat.”
Refers to the children of illegal immigrants as “anchor babies.”Campaign platform is to make English the official language and to make Islamic laws illegal.
Illegal immigrants are “criminal invaders.”
Obama is the “Enemy within” even if he puts up the Christmas tree at the White House. BEWARE!!!
“we have to overcome Political correctness” (Note: I think you already did)Not being racist is predicated on minorities assimilating to “American” culture.
“Are you ready to get the rifle out, clean it up, and get ready to go to war?”
No foreign flags should be flown in America. Love it or leave it.
“It is time for the noose to come out and justice to prevail!”Promoting bizarre fears of Islamic plans for New York
Promoting the idea that Muslims are good citizens in public but not in private.Mel Gibson is less racist than Eric Holder and Obama, the most concerning racial incidents are those that affect whites, and the most dangerous examples of racism are by a “powerful subset of blacks against whites.” Oh, and that’s their official “position” on the NAACP resolution.
Americans are being enslaved by taxes.
MLK is “100% in alignment with the Tea Party Movement.”

Obama Bin Laden
Ode to Sonia (white men)“Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were singularly responsible for the housing and banking meltdown”
Wants more Bush
Has a problem with diversityHas a weekly radio show with this guy.
Says their position on race can be understood by reading Ayn Rand’s essay “Racism.”
In it we learn that:
Those who are proud of their diversity have no other virtues to be proud of.
The demands of “Negro leaders” are irrational, outrageous, cynical, shortsighted, and have a contempt for principles.
Racial quotes are one of the worst evils of racist regimes.
Racial quotes demand that white men be penalized for the sins of their ancestors.You can’t forbid racism by law.
“Negroes” are in the vanguard of destroying individual rights.Entitlements are enslavement
Americans should be able to keep what they earn without apology or guilt.un-hyphenated American
“They are Voting Us Into Slavery.”
Obama’s Muslim faith
Fans of H.L. Mencken who said Jews were an “unpleasant race.”
Illegal immigrants are our enemies.
Liberalism is designed to create dependents who will in turn vote for them.Michael Moore is a welfare queen?
Higher government wages are slavery for taxpayers.
H.L. Mencken again
“There were more than 10 Jewish legislators only in New York (24), Florida (17), and Maryland (13).”Want to eliminate racial consciousness.
Thomas Sowell on Apologies and Tiger Woods.
Doesn’t like hate crime laws.“A false charge of racism is itself, racist” -David Webb (That’s setting a pretty tough standard for your fellow Tea Partiers, but mainstream Americans appreciate it).
see Waco Tea Party below
Disagrees with Boehner about non-violence
Reverse blackface Joker Obama
Wants gratitude and good manners from people on welfareThe great lesson from Avatar is that the American is the “chosen one” and still “fucks” the natives’ princess
Environmentalists are worse than Hitler, Stalin, and Pol Pot. It’s “not even close.”
Draw Mohammed Day!
“Censor this, assholes”Against public education?
Relying on Uncle Sam is a “crack pipe dream.”
Another leader wants Obama to prove his “Constitutional Eligibility to Be Commander-in-Chief” and may be intoJ Edgar Hoover.They support the AZ law and to make it perfectly clear…
No habla?
Will use “any and all means possible”
Wants to see the birther cases go forward.
They will never be silenced. I guess that includes hate speech?
“I am not a racist… as proof, here’s a video” of Alan Keyes at the even I coordinated.Dems are “baby killing” wolves
As a youth pastor, has helped gay teens “come out” of that lifestyle
Qualifies the victimhood of minorities as a “perception.”
Tip: If you want to argue that the Tea Party Express wasn’t the center of your movement, try having more links on your website.CNBC asks for anger, they target the congressman who had a swastika painted on his office and promise a “riot.”
John Birch Society member
Glenn Beck loves em
Member of American Militia web groupMisinforms about Americans being arrested for violating Sharia Law in America.
Tip: Avoid comparing border-crossers to hordes. They aren’t Mongols.
Obama’s “gay” “wrist flipping.”
“CNN blames white folks for BHO lack of oil spill response.” (No, they didn’t “blame” white folks – they said Obama was hesitant to appear angry because historically Americans don’t respond well to angry black men).“Truth is the New Hate Speech”
See Chester Patriots above
“We want to out them and stand up for people like you, Joe” (Joe Wilson)
Tip: Whenever you preface a feature on race on your website by saying “Rush says it perfectly,” you’re in trouble.Obsessed with making “descendents” of welfare recipients pay, and then stealing from them.
Those people near Bobby Scott’s office lack humanity
Rape, brainwashing, Stockholm syndrome… etc. Wow.
Massive race statement failFascist America
“O’s Fascist Army”Final Note: Far be it from me to draw any conclusions from all this. I think that’s a job for the NAACP, our national media, decent mainstream Americans, and David Webb at TEAPARTY365. If he applied the same standard to the rest of the federation that he did to the Tea Party Express, then I think he’s got some very difficult decisions to make in the near future.
