From Big Government:
The assertion that the Tea Party is “racist” is not only unsupported by facts, it is also an assertion that is impossible to determine. The simple application of reason — a shocking request to make for those too ideologically rigid to see straight — proves this out.
Even assuming the most liberal definition of the word “racist”, we must ask how an entire set of people can be proclaimed to be racist. For starters, is there some percentage threshold that any group must cross to be branded “racist”? The question itself is absurd, so we rightly dismiss it. Likewise, if even a single African-American is supportive of or, God Forbid, a member of the Tea Party, does that negate the racism assertion? Or does it brand that unfortunate soul an “Uncle Tom”? Again, the questions are absurd.
