Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) Bashes Tea Party Movement On Radio Show - calls them rascist
Memphis Commercial Appeal ^ | April 3, 2010 | Kristina Goetz

Congressman Steve Cohen of Memphis teed off on the Tea Party movement in a Thursday night radio interview attracting national attention.

The two-term Democratic congressman said the Tea Party — "without hoods and robes" — has shown an angry, hardcore side of America that's against any type of diversity.

“We saw opposition to African-Americans, hostility toward gays, hostility to anybody who wasn’t just, you know, a clone of George Wallace’s fan club,” he said on The Young Turks, an Internet and satellite radio talk show.

And, yet again, the only folks playing the race card, the intolerance card(s), are the leftist gasbags who seek only the destruction of the America given us by the Founders.

It’s time to take back the country.

Perhaps a Tea Party rally at one of Conehead’s townhall meetings would be appropriate. Up close and personal. You know, just so he understands why he’ll be out of a job come November.

Democrat Government:

Government of the scu&bags, by the scu&bags and for the scu&bags. (Unbelievably disgusting philosophy from a bunch of psychiatric, visceral animals.)

IMHO

“When they find out the racism thingie no longer works what will be next?”

Honestly? Probably they’ll whine about religion for a while (because everyone knows only ultra-conservative Protestant Evangelicals go to Tea Parties) but ultimately end up with the “class warfare” schtick. That’s what undergirds 99.9999% of the accusations of racism, and it’s the natural ideological conclusion for a party of Marxists.

What is it with these stupid Democrats? Steve Cohen (Dumbass TN) forgets that George McGovern and Bull Connor were Democrats. Hank Johnson (Dumbass) Georgia, thinks Guam will tip over and sink to the bottom of the ocean if too many people are on it. And yet they and their sycophants in the State Run Media keep repeating how stupid Republicans are.

Oh, and hey, Steve. The Congressional Black Caucus didn’t want you as a member because you’re not Black. Does that mean that Democrats are bigoted, racists or both?

Racism exists in YOUR party Cohen. There’s even rampant reverse racism, as is the case when you applied to become a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and they turned you down.

I think the Dems’ decision to portray the Tea Party movement as racist is going to backfire.

If practically every white person is deemed to be a racist, then the word "racist" ceases to have any power to intimidate white folk.

Charlotte Bergmann is his CONSERVATIVE opponent! http://charlottebergmann.com/

The former crazy mayor of Memphis is king willie herenton, race card user deluxe, he’s 70. Ruined the city schools, did such a good job on them the good people of Memphis elected him mayor 4 times...ruined the city too.

Cohen is a 0 butt kisser deluxe!

We needed to stop a long time ago giving them the power of the “racist” card. Conservatives, especially in the media, should, at every opportunity, call him what he is, bi-racial...i.e., First “bi-racial President”...we don’t care what race he is, so take away the power by making him own his white half.
