Tea Party Plans to Recruit More Coloreds This Fall

[joeybee12]

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.

8. It's The Onion...proving that the baggers

are back in around the 1950's...or is it 1850's?

10. All of the above

9. A common tactic of the right wing. The work of Lee Atwater rises again.

It's too late. People see through this crap for what it is. It's like that fable concerning the scorpion and the frog. Except that while scorpion stings the frog repeatedly, the scorpion still insists nothing is happening to the frog.

A Black Teabagger is not going to cover the TP'ers' racism no matter how much Dr. Rice and Juan Williams are sent out by the GOP to pretend "not to see anything" in the tactics of the group. Not even Ron Christie's added opinion would change anything.

The Teabaggers have already shown their ass to the camera too much.

(and yes, I know it is The Onion)
