I have to agree with you on this one, Michelle. The Tea Parties, whatever else they are, aren’t an attack on President Obama because he’s Black.

I would agree the the overwhelming majority of people who have participated in Tea Parties are not motivated by racism.
But, as is true of most protest groups…right or left…there is a lunatic fringe that can grab attention. No doubt, there are a few white supermacists in the bunch, just as left-wing protests often draw crazed anarchists.
But, race aside, it is interesting that when the Bush Adminsitration was ballooning the dficit, no one went into the streets and Sean Hannity wasn’t flaking for them non-stop on Faux News.

On my home world, we have no need of taxes, since each of us is capable of calling matter into creation with the power of our thoughts. This does not make us, in our way of understanding, anything other than ourselves. We do not claim to be gods or supernatural. However, beings such as yourselves, who have a greater capacity than even we of Planet Xanthrox to call matter into your realities, resort to money and taxes. Sadly, these keep your powers feeble.

Robert (Morwell), I do listen to Hannity once in a while – not often, but I’ll catch some of his show on the way home from work and if it sounds like he’s going to have an interesting guest I’ll listen for a bit longer.
To be fair, Hannity really has called Republicans (and Bush) out on a lot of things and the ballooning deficit was one of them.
