Thread Name: BS: KKK/Tea Party Day
Subject: RE: BS: KKK/Tea Party Day
Too many hatefull signs and too many hatefull screamers at these Tea Party rallies to think these things just isolated incidents... During the campaign these were the same folks who showed up at Palin rallies yeliing "hang him" in regards to Obama... I here these people every week in the area I live...

What I am saying is that it is well out of hand and folks need to act more like adults at these Tea Party rallies... Look at the pictures of them and count the signs that suggest violence...

Until the Tea Party has the balls to stand up to its members and tell their members to act like civilized people then I think it is fair game to brand their organization a hate oganization...

During the 60s I was involved in both civil rights and anti-war demonstrations as both an organizer and a participant and we always were respectfull of our fellow brothers in the armed services... We even admitted them to our concerts at the Center for the Performing Arts for free... That is the difference here... Every attempt was made to respectfull in the 60s... The Tea Party organizers are 100% opposite that and they need to stand up and show some respect to not only people they disagree with but black people in general... If they won't do that then the KKK label seems appropriate...
