The Return Of Mark Williams

August 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Political Fringe, Racism, Republicans

I suppose this was inevitable.  Mark Williams– author of the super offensive, incredibly racist letter to Abraham Lincoln mocking NAACP chairman Benjamin Jealous, and all black people– has resurfaced.  Williams, former leader of the Tea Party Express, apparently is feeling like his level of contrition (as if he ever truly exhibited any for his ignorance) [...]

Racism Through The Eyes Of An Ideologue

August 4th, 2010 · No Comments · Political Fringe, Politics, Racism, Republicans

Wow.   Most racists don’t even know when they’re being racist.  And this, my friends, is the problem.  Kris Broughton has done a great job shedding light on the ridiculous Tea Party Comix that have seemingly popped up overnight.  These amazingly crafted, amazingly bigoted comics first appeared on Ebay,  apparently the brainchild of Tom Kalb.  Mr. [...]

Barack Obama: African King, Or Angry Negro? An Anti-Racist Tea Partier Enlightens Us

August 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · Democracy, Political Fringe, Politics, Racism, america

I wouldn’t usually dignify what you’re about to see with its own post, but today I’ve decided to make an exception.  This greasy used car salesman (sorry to all used car salesmen for the snide comparison) gives you an illustration as to the depths of bigoted ignorance and callowness some of these tea party people [...]

Tea Party In Indiana Thinks Barack Obama Is Part Of The Jew Conspiracy

July 25th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Political Fringe, Racism, Republicans, america

But this isn’t any evidence of bigotry is it?  This is just your average teacher, banker and farmer expressing themselves, and loving America right?  Hmmm… Now, if you attend some tea party meetings in Indiana, a different kind of challenge is emerging. On the information tables, along with candidate brochures and handouts from right-wing blogs, [...]

Mark Williams Is Kicked Out Of The Tea Party Federation

July 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Political Fringe, Racism, america

Finally!  Someone is showing a modicum of leadership–although this seemed like a pretty easy call to me.  Nevertheless, Tea Party officials answered the bell here: The federation, an umbrella organization that claims to represent 85 Tea Party groups, kicked out Williams’ group when it wouldn’t fire him. “We have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark [...]

Once again, the president slams republicans on their inaction on the unemployment and jobs bill in his weekly address: the GOP leadership has chosen to “filibuster our recovery and obstruct our progress” by blocking votes on agenda items the president says would breath life into the economic recovery. “These steps aren’t just the right thing [...]

Mark Williams Pens An Open Letter To Abraham Lincoln, Mocks NAACP

July 16th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Democracy, News, Political Fringe, Politics, Racism

I like satire as much as the next guy.  But this letter–on the heels of the mini-controversy brewing over the NAACP-Tea Party resolution–may be pushing a little too much.  Okay, I believe it is unbelievably insulting, but you be the judge.  Here’s Tea Party “leader” Mark Williams writing a letter as Ben Jealous, NAACP president [...]
