Is The Tea Party Gang Turning GOP Into A Party of Hate?

Politics Daily:

When John Boehner, the Republican leader of the House, appeared at the Tea Party rally at the Capitol on Thursday afternoon, it was a dramatic signal: The wing-nuts have taken over the GOP.

Think I'm being harsh? The angry folks at the protest -- which attracted several thousand conservatives -- held up signs with messages of hate: "Get the Red Out of the White House," "Waterboard Congress," "Ken-ya Trust Obama?" One called the president a "Traitor to the U.S. Constitution." Another sign showed pictures of dead bodies at the Dachau concentration camp and compared health care reform to the Holocaust. A different placard depicted Obama as Sambo. Yes, Sambo. Another read, "Obama takes his orders from the Rothchilds" -- a reference to the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory holding that one evil Jewish family has manipulated events around the globe for decades.

Every Democrat running in 2010 should remind the voters of just what dispicable, and irresponsible cowards the Republicans are (with an ad that includes this video, of Republicans standing silently by, and said NOTHING, as people spewed hate, and used vile Nazi imagery to depict the President Of the USA, and the Democratic Party. These disgusting, pathetic REPUBLICANS who showed their approveal of this behaviour, by saying NOTHING, DO NOT deserve the be sitting in our Congress, getting paid salaries with our tax dollars.

All that can be said to these politicians is "have you no shame"?

What is interesting about signs and rhetoric that we see and hear. It still is not what they want to say. They want to say much more but as always the truth is something that is hard to deal with.

They all said that they were proud to be standing with these "teabaggers" and all their hate filled and racist signs............so they are no different anymore.

In fact they said they were PROUD to stand with them.

Especially Boehner ..........just before he confused the Constitution with the Declaration Of Independence.

They have declared this themselves............The ENTIRE REPUBLICAN CONGRESS have joined with this lunatic fringe.

What a sad day in America, when there are 2 wars and a terrible recession going on, the republican congress hosted what amounted to a Klan rally on the steps of the capitol.

The Republican Party is abusive and oppressive. Their rhetoric and policies show that they are.

How many of you still think this is about healthcare reform?

the best part would be if they did a survey and asked how many people supported Larry Elder. You'd probably be surprised at how many of these "racists" love the guy.

personally, I'd never vote for Obama because I don't think his policies will work. However, I'd vote for Elder against Boxer any day of the week. am i still a racist?

Maybe not, but it could mean you are a maroon.

yes, it would be tragic if i was marooned on an island. thanks for your concern!

The fact that you would declare the desire to vote for a black man as some kind of "evidence" speaks for itself. You may as well say "some of my best friends are black."

or it might explain the fact that I just don't agree with Obama's policies because I don't think they'll work. it's not because I'm racist as the majority of liberals seem to think.

would you vote for Condi Rice? If you say no, that means you're both racist and sexist...get my drift?

Boehner says he didn't see any offensive signs at the rally. Are you kidding me? They were right in front of the stage he was speaking on. Blatant dishonesty.

Boehner lies all the time. He said he didn't know of anyone who was for the Healthcare bill. Hundreds called him in favor of it. Now he can't say that anymore.

Boehner always mispronounces the opposition as the ``Democrat'' party.
How should we pronounce his last name?

First the first time in our life time the election of president OBAMA , a minority, is showing us what has always been woven in the fabric of this country. Racism, greed, and hate of minorities. There has always been a few with all the riches of the american dream, and few who will never be able to reach the american dream. Since PRESIDENT OBAMA's election we are finding out how that few accomplished their riches. By greed, criminal activities, theif, and out and out lying. Now we are seeing that few fighting back to keep the status quo. We should be thankful for the electon of our president, because we will begin to learn just how this country has been so onesided.

Colonels were men who ran slave patrols tracking down runaway slaves in the years before the civil war.
