Tea Party Protesters Show True Colors?
Mar 23rd, 2010 by nick
Apparently some “tea party” protesters hurled derogatory and hateful language at some African-American and gay Democratic representatives on Saturday. The only surprising part of this is how unsurprised I was to hear it. It’s been transparently obvious that some (not all, of course) of these so-called protesters were “…more opposed to the skin color of the man in the White House than they were to the president’s political ideology.”. Frankly, this isn’t that interesting a story, and I wasn’t going to write about it at all until I read this quote from Fox News, “A gay congressman was called a slur. Yet he was accused of swearing at someone in the crowd before that.” See, obviously Barney Frank brought this hatred upon himself. Seriously, this contorted rationalization isn’t from some random right-wing blog – it’s a “news” story on the Fox “Fair and Balanced” News site. It’s no wonder some of these protesters have such a distorted view of reality if they’re getting all their “news” from these kinds of media outlets.
