The 111th Congress fulfilled liberal Democrats' decades-long goal of government-run health care, spent over a trillion dollars on a Keynesian stimulus that promised millions of yet-to-arrive jobs and punished Wall Street for the financial crisis with a massive new regulatory regime.(BALTIMORE) -- A controversial new report about the Tea Party alleges that white power groups and militias have tried to infiltrate the movement in order to “push these protesters toward a more self-conscious and ideological white supremacy.”Now, seemingly overnight, Democrats may lose their majority in the House, and in the Senate their majority leader maybe unseated.
So they've decided on the Hail Mary pass. Since they think Republicans are nut jobs, maybe they can convince voters of it.
Those thousands of Tea Partyers, including many women? They can't be a true populist uprising. So the NAACP, a stalwart ally of liberal Democrats, unveils an October Surprise: a report charging that the Tea Party is chock full of "anti-Semites, racists and bigots."
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People released the findings of the study called “Tea Party Nationalism,” funded in part by the liberal-backed Firedoll Foundation and written by white nationalism experts Devin Burghart and Leonard Zeskind.According to Judson Phillips, founder of the Tea Party Nation, the report is nothing more than a “liberal smear,” given that the more organized facets of the movement have repudiated racism. There are also questions about the timing of the report’s release, with the midterm elections less than two weeks away.
Burghart and Zeskind focused more on fringe Tea Party groups online and low-level county chapters, where allegations of racism have cropped up. They also cited five members in particular, including one former Tea Party official with ties to anti-Semitic or white nationalist groups.
NAACP President Ben Jealous said that his group’s support of the findings was not meant to attack the Tea Party as a whole but to simply repudiate any racists who may try to associate themselves with the movement. Jealous called most Tea Party supporters “sincere, principled people of good will.”
"Tea Party Nationalism" also claims that a large number of Tea Party backers are 'birthers,' who believe that President Obama was born outside the U.S., and therefore wasn't eligible to run for the White House. http://www.wtma.com/rssItem.asp?feedid=118&itemid=29590035

Geez I wish we could all get together as one people to put a real effort into fixing our economic problems. Things like unemployment and a huge budget deficit doesn't understand the differences between people. Our countries problems may have been a result of republican or democrat initiatives but it's going to take every one at all levels of the economic ladder of all political persuasions and color to correct these problems.
If we cannot correct our countries issues on a united front then we will just end up being another failed state. - 1 year ago

Creating a fake "reality" out of whole cloth does not erase the facts.
