Did one of the Tea Party leaders really think that only Tea Partiers would read his racist email?

[ck4829]

Dale Robertson, the vitriolic founder and president of TeaParty.org, blasted out a mass E-mail today that seemed meant to convince doubters that his movement is, after all, racist at its core.

Attacking President Obama for traveling home to Chicago for the Memorial Day weekend — rather than staying in Washington to lay a wreath in Arlington Cemetery as many presidents have done — Robertson falls into a string of contemptuous and racially charged terms.

Obama is going home to spend time with “his homies in the Chicago hood,” writes Robertson, who is white. The taxpayers will be footing the bill for the president to “bump and grind in the hood.” While he’s gone, Vice President Joseph Biden and his wife “will step into Obama’s sneakers” to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Obama, meanwhile, will be “shooting hoops, smoking cigarettes and goofing-off with his homies.”

Robertson, who is a contributor to the right-wing Washington Times’ “Tea Party Report” blog (and is identified there as “the Founder of the modern day Tea Party movement”), has never been a study in sensitivity. He has written that everyone who voted for the national health care reform bill is a “national socialist” — a Nazi, like those who murdered millions in the gas chambers. He says that “illegal aliens” are coming to impose socialism on the United States. But now, Robertson has gone one step further, describing Obama as the kind of person who has “homies” in the “hood,” who wears “sneakers” and “shoots hoops,” and who “bumps and grinds.” We wonder just what type of person Dale Robertson is thinking of.

1. Ignore these pricks...

...anyway, I wear sneakers, shoot hoops and bump & grind, although I'm not sure I've got any homies.

In any case, he's not worth the energy.

8. Yes. He is worth the energy. E vil continues when good people say nothing.

I can't be a part of that.

2. How stupid can you not get?

Seriously these TP heads are DEEBAGS! What's a deebag? it's a cross word of retard and douchebag. And they are both. Homies? LOL bumps and grinds? Wow what senseless words from the mind of a TP head. But hey what did you expect? Maybe Obama will catch a Blackhawks game, it is the stanley cup finals after all.

3. Robertson has obviously never been to Hyde Park

It's one of the most up scale neighborhoods in the entire city.
