The Tea Party and racism ...

Another fine example of how to avoid debate Opinion:

A resolution against the "racism" Tea Party?
NAACP considered resolved decrying racist elements in tea-party movement
Meeting in Kansas City during its annual convention, the NAACP, the largest U.S. association of defense civil rights, is expected to vote today on a résolutioncondamnant the "racist elements" of the Tea Party, the protest movement anti-Washington. The resolution specifically criticized activists Tea Party waving posters denigrating "the people of color in general and Obama in particular "and to insult or threaten black elected Congress.

The Tea Party scare in the United States. Watch how the claims of this movement are never described and discussed.

Here's what the movement claims:

You can be for or against these claims, arguing certain points, expose other issues ...

But the common tactic of linking this movement to a racist is absolutely deplorable! It allows to discredit this movement without having to discuss their opinions.

While there surely are people who are racist in this movement. But this accusation is still a deplorable tactic of baseness to discredit by association while avoiding any discussion of conscience.

What the NAACP has seen few signs that it considers racist does not allow him to accuse the entire movement. To accuse the movement Tea Party of racism, it must do so in a debate of opinion. It must demonstrate by example that this movement is a facade to a movement whose aims are racist or something like that. And it must do with logical reasoning.

Until these people offer us such a text, one wonders who is the most racist in this.

One may also ask questions about the integrity of people so quick to cry racism but do not hesitate to deal with the supporters of this movement TeaBaggers ....

Obama Calls Tea Partiers 'Tea-Baggers'

What a strange world than ours. This course of action: Reply to a review by shouting names and nonsense should be condemned by all as the domain of children and not adults.
