“No Racial Slurs At Tea Party Events” Says A Racist Holding A Racist Sign
Sure, there’s no racism in the Tea Party movement as long as you don’t count racist signs or spitting on African Americans. No racism there.

Bachmann thinks Rep. Lewis is a liar
Wow. Just wow. Via Steve Benen, who asks:

Michele Bachmann thinks Rep. John Lewis is a liar. Yes, Civil Rights hero John Lewis.

Oh, Michele Bachmann, is there anything you won't say out loud?
Benen adds:
So, Michele Bachmann would have us believe that John Lewis is a liar. John Lewis, who has demonstrated more integrity, honesty, and courage in his career than Bachmann's limited intellect can even fathom, is deserving of mistrust, because he heard racial slurs and talked about it. Got it.
It is possible that Michele Bachmann does not know about the civil rights struggle in America and the role John Lewis played in it. She probably has no idea that she serves in Congress with a living civil rights legend. And, if she did, she wouldn't care.

Prominent right-wing voices decided last year that the U.S. census was not to be trusted. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said the process could lead to "internment camps." Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) called the census "invasive." Fox News' Glenn Beck's suggested Americans may not be comfortable with "ACORN members" collecting information. Radio host Neal Boortz said some census information is "designed to help the government steal from you in order to pass off your property to the moochers."
