MoveOn protester uses tells black tea partier 'you're on the Koch's plantation'.
So this is standard operating policy for all liberal supporters of Obama?
Help me out here, how is it that conservatives are racists and they are using all the slurs? I just don't get it. I demand an answer from all those on here who have called conservatives names such as racist to tell me why they support movements like this? Have you all lost your minds? Wake up to what is actually going on here and stop supporting liberal groups and their causes such as this.

That could be very correct! As if African Americans are not listening to the racism rants continually blabbered across the entire spectrum of "conservative" mediums!! African Am. are also very aware of the fact that had it not been for Civil Service, they would never have been able to qualify by written examinations for well paying jobs in this country!! What with private industry discriminating against people of color across this nation for decades!!
Please, there are no codes left ... and, many are not bothering to even use their once thought "codes" ... they make it perfectly clear and plain for the WORLD to understand.

Can you give any examples of racist rants that are constantly blabbered across the entire spectrum of conservative mediums? If they are constant, perhaps you could name, say five?
They're not using codes anymore?!?!? Shoot, just wasted 20 bucks then on my new code book for 2011. How am I going to know now when they are being racist?
There's nothing coded about the racism on the left. A blogger at alternet calls Herman Cain "the monkey in the window" and a union protester tells a jewish conservative he is a "bad Jew" (although the union gal thinks Israel acts like "a$$holes"), union protesters incredulously question a gay, black tea partier about his conservative views, asking how he can vote that way? There's nothing coded about it. The left says "you belong to us". They tell them that if they do not fall into the expected liberal stereotype for their ethnicity or race, that there is something wrong with them.
Open your eyes and see the truth. They want to use people, not uplift them. And if people refuse to be used, they turn on them viciously.

Oh my, I can't believe gladys actually said that African Americans are well aware that they'd never would of qualified for well paying jobs without civil service!
Are you not aware gladys that for well over a century African Americans have been distinguishing themselves in politics, education and civil service?
Not to mention black conservatives today are speaking out about such things as the economy and the liberal government. Here's a link so you can educate yourself. African American's do not need big daddy to succeed.

What you said is proof of Democrats low opinion of African Americans. Sounds like they can't get along without their white masters telling them what to do, you know. I'm really having a hard time believing you actually said it. I keep having to scroll up and check you words.

Wow, where in what I stated up there do you read "African American 'need' big daddy to succeed"
NOWHERE!!
What you've said is proof of the inability of some to comprehend what is actually being stated!! Spin all you want ... it's your way I suppose.

They wont own it, they wont admit it. This issue has had me scratching my head for quite some time. The double standard is glaring.

I watched a union protester ask a gay, black tea partier how he could vote against his own best interest.
I think of it this way:
If two whites disagree on politics, they debate the issues, or yell about them depending on the level of civility. Once in a while the liberal will call the conservative a racist.
If a liberal disagrees with a minority conservative, they are dumbfounded. How can this person think in some way other than the way we expect them to? To ask them how they can think in this different way, or vote against their own interests, is tantamount to calling that person's integrity and intelligence into question. They become the most racist people on earth. And they don't see it, they really don't.

You are right that this happens. But this was more of an in your face, me against you incident. Just the wording was meant to intimidate. She (the one who said it) had a smirk on her face. It was sickening. That was why on that other discussion I said I had to stop talking about it or I'd loose my temper.

I am not american so i will not judge politically, but i do believe that generalizing a whole movement for what a singe person did or stated is a complete non-sense.
There are a lot of stupid people and some will support a certain party and others another party, some of those stupid people will do what comes more natural to them and say stupid things.
This is my comment on the news you just posted, as for your questions they seem to stem on an incorrect syllogism: if a racist is against tea party it doesn't mean that everyone who is again tea party is a racist!
I repeat i don't care about american politics, it is just a logical issue here...

You may have a point IF this was an isolated incident. It's not. Name calling has become a tactic of the left when they don't have anything of substance to share regularly.
To be fair the right has had its moments doing the same thing.
But we (conservatives) are being lambasted in the press daily for being bigotted racist, nazis and hate mongers. To see someone who is a part of Obama's major supporters use such a racially motivated phrase is maddening.

Name calling is indeed the last resort for all politics when they lack the substance to reply. I completely agree with you on that. Poitics should be about ideas and substance, and those ideas should be confronted respectfully with logical arguments and rational reasoning. Too many times i see sensational claims that rely more on emotions than on carefully political planning, that are made basically to avoid people thinking about the real issues and causing hate for the opposing party.
That is true for most politicians on most countries of all political ideologies.
That is surely true in my country (italy)..

...to avoid people thinking about the real issues and causing hate for the opposing party.
I agree wholeheartedly.
