This isn't racist? In who's book? Nice try. To demand the USA government return to the "Original" Constitution and Bill of Rights negates any and all the Civil Rights Movements. The Civil Rights Movement wasn't a PAC either. Take a look into the archives of Martin Luther King and try and find the PAC he organized. I dare you.
No joke. Shut up. The Tea Party are a bunch of hard nose greed merchants that have no respect for anyone except their bankers.
See effigies mean something. If you don't think so ask the CEO's of BOA and Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan how it felt to have their images marched in a parade against their exploitation of Americans?
Apologies count, too. The Tea Party needs to apologize.
Tea party PAC endorses Barela

The FreedomWorks PAC, the campaign arm of the group that has mentored the tea party movement, has endorsed Jon Barela in the New Mexico 1st Congressional District race. The group, chaired by former U.S. House Majority Leader Dick Armey, called Barela a “fiscal hero” in its endorsement.
“A vote for Jon Barela would clearly be a vote for individual liberty and economic prosperity,” Armey said in a statement.
The group endorsed Barela because they say he believes in lowering taxes and accused incumbent Democrat Martin Heinrich of being a “big-spender.”
FreedomWorks said it will fund get-out-the-vote efforts, including direct mailings, yard sign distribution, volunteer phone banks and neighborhood literature drops in support of Barela.
Armey recently pooh-poohed the idea that he’s the leader of the tea party movement, saying Freedom Works is only a “mentoring” organization. FreedomWorks launched a nationwide tea party tour last year.

I think it is bizarre to ask the NAACP to have town meetings next to the Tea Party. The Tea Party absolutely hates President Obama. I don't see that as a resolution. Lacks respect for the President in an attempt to try to divide people rather than unite them. Besides, it could result in violence. I don't believe it is a good idea.
Confront racism, don’t deny it (click title to entry - thank you)
Since when has it become racist to point out racism in America? That’s where this country finds itself, as many purporting to want a color-blind nation refuse to admit that not everyone shares their dream.
Case in point, the beat-down the NAACP has been receiving for having the audacity to point out the obvious: that racists have been infiltrating tea-party gatherings because any criticism of America’s first black president gives them a buzz.
A resolution passed by the NAACP didn’t say being a tea-party member was equivalent to being a racist. It asked the movement to condemn the extremists too frequently seen at its meetings. If the tea-partiers truly want to change America for the better, they will act on the NAACP’s charge and work harder to make sure that no one — regardless of skin color, religion, or country of origin — would feel unwelcome.
Philadelphia Inquirer editorial
I tell you what. Why doesn't the Tea Party simply apologize for their insulting manners and 'Let's Move' for the First Lady and advocate for taxes on soft drinks and fruit drinks that add calories to a child's diet.
Sound fair? I would be an extention of 'good will' between everyone.
