Tea Party Plans To Recruit More Coloreds (sic) This Fall
CARSON CITY, NV—In an effort to promote diversity within their political base, national Tea Party leaders gathered today in Nevada's capital to announce their intention to embrace more coloreds in the lead-up to the 2010 midterm elections. "We're bringing new voices and perspectives into the movement every day, and the addition of some more coloreds is only the beginning," Tea Party spokesman Michael Kealey told reporters, adding that he was "excited to welcome Negroes into the fold." "The time has come for everyone, Orientals even, to take America back." Kealey went on to say that the inclusion of homos in the movement would be "out of the question," unless they were the normal kind.

Somehow, even though it is The Onion, I would not be surprised if this is the actual feelings of most teabaggers.

1. As Jon Stewart said, they love America, they just don't like half the people who live here.

4. years ago there was some sort of political spoof in Mad Magazine
that included a definition of a Patriot as a person who manages to claim to love his country while hating 70% of the people who live in it. Still apropos today.
