Liberal Values Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought

The tea party supporters, like much of the right wing, is tainted with a reputation for racism. It doesn’t help them shed this image to have former KKK leader David Duke make an argument claiming they are not racist. Crooks & Liars has the video and transcript. Here’s a portion:

Tea Party people are called racist because the vast majority wants to stop the massive non-European immigration that will turn America into a crumbling tower of Babel. Most Tea Partiers believe that we in America have the right to preserve our heritage, language, and culture, just as every nation has that human right. The vast majority of Tea Party activists oppose affirmative action and diversity, which are nothing more than programs of racist discrimination against white people. The vast majority of Tea Party enthusiasts despise Hollywood and the mass media.

You know, the unelected media bosses have far more power than any senator or congressman, and are far more alien to America than the British were at the time of the American Revolution. At least the British were of our own, Christian cultural heritage, while the non-Christian ethno-religious minority who dominates Hollywood sees itself as very distinct from the 98 percent of the rest of us.

Thanks to David Duke for reminding everyone that the far right is not only racist. It is also anti-Semitic with their paranoia about the Jewish media and Hollywood. David Duke is certainly not doing the tea party movement any favors.
