white pride group urges tea party to embrace its racism

Saw this on Daily Kos and could only laugh... A group called the Council of Conservative Citizens, who are described as "a modern-era, suit-and-tie version of the KKK," apparently aren't happy that the Tea Party has run away from the "racist" label after recent clashes with the NAACP: White pride group urges Tea Party to be honest about its racism.
This was a great opportunity for the Tea Party movement to show some backbone by laughing in the face of the imbeciles at the NAACP. But did they? Of course not. Predictably, they responded in the same tired, pusillanimous manner with which they always respond to these never ending accusations. Instead of replying with a loud BWAHAHAHA! or a "Yeah? What's your point?" or "So what?" or "Of course we're racists -we're white people.

That's what "racist" means or "Can any of you race hustlers even spell "racist"?", they predictably went into their usual bend over and grab their ankles mode. They protested that oh no, we're not racists at all, we don't tolerate racists at our rallies which are really huge rainbow coalitions, and it's the NAACP and the liberals who are the real racists, etc., etc. You know, the lame "Bull Connor was a Democrat!" defense. It never works, but they just keep trotting it out like some lucky charm in the vain hope that this time it will work.

Racist means white person. Period. Until the Tea Partiers get that through their heads, nothing's going to change, and they're never going to be an effective political force.
Basically, they're call the Tea Party a bunch of a chickens for backing down. Own up and be proud of your racism! More here: White Pride Group Urges Tea Party to Flaunt Its Bigotry.
