Mark Williams? Tea Party Is Shocked, SHOCKED To Find Racism Going On Here
Tweet
This would be more believable if Mark Williams hadn’t race-baited for months as head of the “Tea Party Express”
Appearing on the CBS program ‘Face the Nation,’ Webb said that Williams and the Tea Party Express — which has held a series of events across the country to generate support for the movement — no longer were part of the National Tea Party Federation.
‘We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote,’ Webb said of the blog post by Williams that satirized a fictional letter from what he called ‘Colored People’ to President Abraham Lincoln.
Webb called the blog post ‘clearly offensive.’

The tea party will still be against immigration reform
Nooooo, the tea party is FOR immigration reform.
As soon as the feds build a fence and start enforcing the immigration laws that are actually on the books. Currently the democrats are busy suing states that are trying to enforce them
Why would we expect the government to enforce any NEW laws, when they won’t enforce the old ones?
Kinda funny, since the NAACP asked the Tea Party leadership to refudiate –- er, uh, I mean repudiate -– the Mark Williams-type element in the Tea Party movement. Heh, heh, heh …
This and Black Power ice cream in the same day? It’s so hard to believe.
come on, now!! the tea party advocates knew there were racists in there organization. they carried signs that revealed this. what has happened is the naacp has called them out on it, and now they are taking action
Mark Williams, another conservative prick who, like Rush Limbaugh, thinks he can get away with saying anything, as long as he calls it satire.
Look for bitter complaint from Free Republic, which heavily promoted the Tea Party Express.
George Will:
NAACP Resolution Is ‘Left-Wing McCarthyism’</B
A hundred G’s, Oliver. That’s a lot of dog food.
Just think if you had gone down there that day and had just one of the 17 alleged slurs on your I-phone.
Theoretically, anyway.
I wouldn’t go around quoting a guy who mangles the language with phrases like “a desperate lunge for its vanished relevance.” George Will is a man who is so in love with the sound of his own voice he doesn’t realize how moronic he sounds half the time. If this were a just world, he’d be a White Sox fan.
But I digress. Will and Dennis seem to be missing the obvious point here. Within a few days of the NAACP’s resolution, the Tea Party leadership found itself having to do exactly what the NAACP asked it to do — drumming out a racist extremist in its midst. Which goes a long way towards proving that the NAACP was right in the first place.
Phuc George Will and the silver spoon he flew in on.
The only oppressive he ever suffered in his life was losing a dinner reservation. His opinions on this subject mean nothing.
..OPPRESSION…
Dennis, kind of an ill-timed column on Will’s part, don’t you think, after the NAACP resolution caused a Tea Party leader to have a racist meltdown? The leadership of this latest pseudo-pagan right-wing cult is filled with the same people who were screaming that an Obama presidency was going to be all about getting revenge whites. Why are you even surprised, Dennis? It’s the same group of people. Either embrace it or just point out that the tea-partiers are a bunch of lunatics who’ve basically gone crazy ever since bush convinced them that invading iraq in revenge for 9/11 would be a good idea.
Of course they had to distance themselves from this dickhead, because the media was running with headlines that read “Tea Bagger Leader writes racist letter” which isn’t exactly helping them in their PR struggle to prove they aren’t a bunch of dumbass rednecks.
I hope Williams stays around for a long time and continues to open his fat stupid mouth as often as possible. It’d be great if he started his own little club now that he got kicked out of the main house.
Perfect timing, Dennis.
Do you even read the topics or just see Tea Party and run blind D like you do for Palin?
Hilarious.
Liberals really need to read the Federalist Papers and study them, so they can realize what the UU Constitution means. PS. The New Black Panther Party race baits constantly and all they get is a pat on the back from The “Justice” Department and Eric Holder who believes the civil rights laws(meant to provide equality) only apply to minorities.
PS. Some of my closest friends are minorities and/or liberals.
George Will is a fucking idiot, so of course Dennis uses him to detract from the Tea Party’s racists. Of course.
Also, do rightists think “McCarthyite” is a bad thing? You guys follow his tactics every day and hold him up as a hero.
Oh my, well look here, another guy you have called a fucking idiot, or a ‘farkin’ idiot actually, and a racist, says the tea parties aren’t racist:
Biden: Tea party isn’t racist organization
“The tea party is not a racist group, says Vice President Joe Biden, though he believes that some of those involved in the movement have expressed racist views.
“Very conservative, very different views on government and a whole lot of things,” Biden said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” ”But it is not a racist organization.”
And apparently neither does his boss, President of the United States Barack H. Obama:
President Barack Obama doesn’t think so, either, Biden said.
Perplexing, seeing how this is in direct contradiction to what’s being said in this blog every day.
Think Progress Ripped Content from Tea Party Video to Create Fraudulent Racism Claim
A hundred G’s, Oliver. That’s a lot of dog food.
WHAT??!!
Oh my, well look here, another guy you have called a fucking idiot, or a ‘farkin’ idiot actually, and a racist, says the tea parties aren’t racist:
WHAT??!!
Shorter Dennis: For the love of God, look over here!
Saying teabaggers are overtly racist is like saying wingnuts are intentionally stupid. It’s more subtle than that – less about intention and more about osmosis. But I’m talking about the rank and file of course. I wouldn’t put anything past their leadership.
It’s about as subtle “Monkey see, Monkey spend.”
Um, Dennis the Cowardly Bitch, are you going to apologize to the NAACP? Since the Teabaggers agreed with their charge that some elements of the Teabbaging movement are racist bigots? Like yourself?
I won’t my breath.
Oh my, well look here, another guy you have called a fucking idiot, or a ‘farkin’ idiot actually, and a racist, says the tea parties aren’t racist:
I would agree with that. the Tea Party as a WHOLE is not a racist group, but some of their numbers ARE.
Do you get that distinction, Dense, or do you need a picture?
I think he’s seen the pictures … but but but … look over there. No really, look over there!! See no evil, hear no evil Dennis.
Like Angle and Paul, Williams is now too afraid to discuss his views and beliefs.
(CNN) — Tea Party activist Mark Williams says he’s done discussing the controversy stirred up by his attack on the NAACP, accusing a fellow movement leader of turning the debate into “a World Wrestling style personality conflict.”
The National Tea Party Federation, an organization that seeks to represent the Tea Party political movement around the country, has expelled Williams and his Tea Party Express organization because of the inflammatory blog post Williams wrote last week, federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday. In response, Williams announced in another statement on his blog that, “I am refusing all media requests on this” and canceled a scheduled interview on CNN to discuss the controversy Sunday evening, citing a last-minute change in travel plans.
Pussies.
Marco, maybe you could provide some text for us here of Harry Reid’s brave and fearless full explanation of his ‘Barack Obama didn’t speak with a “Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,” comment.
I’m not a coward to discuss race, Jaim, but you’ve never once explained how it is that I’m a racist bigot. Not once. It’s you the cowardly bitch when it comes to calling someone else a racist without ever so much as an explanation for the charge. This from a guy who left this country in anger. You don’t like this country for what it is, you like it, maybe, for what you think it should be, and you say you will only come back when you think it is a better country than it is now. So you’re doing nothing to effect change. Nothing. You’re not even contributing to the tax revenues in this country that go in no small part to helping minorities. So in effect you are disgusted with people who do far more to help minorities in this country than you are, and you lash out by calling those people racists without so much as an explanation.
So I ask you, who’s the real Cowardly Bitch?
I won’t my breath waiting for an answer, either.
Dennis – But, Harry Reid…
Par for the boring course.
Marco, Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader. Before yesterday, I had never heard of Mark Williams. Barely no one had one word to say about Harry Reid’s racist comment, but for damn sure, no one here called him a pussy for not explaining it in depth afterward.
I see, Dennis. It bothers you that I called Mark Williams, a person you’ve never heard of before yesterday, a pussy. What he wrote and said doesn’t bother you, it’s that I called this nobody in your world a pussy. So to defend the nobody, you’re playing “But, but, but…”
Again, par for the boring course.
Shorter Dennis: Someone on the Left using the word “negro” one time is always worse than someone on the Right spewing it multiple times as part of a tsunami of batshit racist screeching.
And proving that the conservatives are fighting for voting rights and are not manufacturing bullshit scandal where there is none, here’s Erick Erikson…
“King Samir Shabazz Should Be 2010’s Willie Horton”
Bullshit article from bullshit author available at bullshit website for wingnut lovers of bullshit.
Dennis, to believe that there is a direct equivalence between Reid’s remarks and the letter by Mark Williams, WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO DEMONSTRATE THAT HE WASN’T A RACIST, is sheer folly.
Here’s a screed about what Reid said, along with the reason it wasn’t racist:
Yep, what Reid said about Obama and the American electorate was so racist…………..
AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE!
BTW, what’s my diagnosis today? You’re getting so OCD on farafoo that I’m beginning to feel like you’re playing favorites with some folks around here and that you don’t know jack shit about psychology.
My last post belongs in the current Holder thread. All apologies.
My last post belongs in the current Holder thread. All apologies.
What you should apologize for is that he ran that blog post a full week ago and you make it sound like it’s hot off the presses, Marco. So it doesn’t even belong on the Holder thread you mention, but the NBPP thread from a week ago, rather.
Idiot.
What a silly claim. The Tea Party is racist? ABSURD!
Oh, wait.
Why wouldn’t it belong in the Holder thread, Dennis? Erick just lays out the “scary black man” campaign your a willing participant in – or some would say, a tool in.
It fits right in. Perfectly.
Have you had enough time to familiarize yourself with Mark Williams or can we expect your usual bullshit for the rest of the day?
Can’t wait to hear from you.
M
And Dennis, i am not even going to mention you berating me for posting something old while you continue to ignore the current thread topic. I would never do that to you.
