Racist comments, including a slur about Hispanics, posted on the Twitter page of the Springboro Tea Party were particularly hurtful to Alana Turner.

“Illegals everywhere today! So many spics makes me feel like a speck. Grrr. Wheres my gun!?” said the March 21 posting on the site managed by the group’s founder, Sonny Thomas.

This is a front page story for this tired liberal rag that disguises itself as a news source. They print trash like this and then state: "User comments are not being accepted on this article."

They can’t argue the issues so they look for anyone who might make us look bad OR they put their own in they pretending to be part of our group. Infilitration.

The Internet is like one big bathroom stall. Much of it shouldn’t be taken seriously, at all. I don’t see how this incident qualifies as news.

Was he the one that actually posted the comment or was it someboody else? The article states that he manages the website: not that he posted a comment.

not even going to click on it to give them the number but will say that I am fed jup of the race card being pushed around or the anti immigrant card.

I came here to get away from socialism and I have found that many Americans are really very inviting.
INfact the most anti blatant bigotry I have found have come from the left.

When I came ehre I did not know American politics so I went to both sides of the aisle and asked questions, what I got form the sites like move on was scary and gave the impression that those people are really off the charts

They will stop at NOTHING to destroy the Tea Party movement. They will eventually resort to systematic violence and incarceration. Tyrants never simply go away folks, they have to be removed.

it just states too that the site was managed not that the person wrote the comments.
Did they also look at move on’s, KOS, DU sites where the speech there against Bush was calling for the death of him etc.

nah didn’t think so,,The media will keep pushing this as they have no clue how to stop the public from raising up against them and the obama regime, yes regime for you media outlets

What was your first clue? This is just too obvious. Since the intimidate approach produced no results, it's time for the union thug plants to move in.

Democrats need to destroy the tea party movement before it gets bigger ... And that's the problem, it's still growing.

I’m unclear about the posting. Was it done by Thomas, the one who runs the website or just some anynomous poster on the site?

No one in politics should try being cute with racial slurs but “Spicks and Specks is an Australian music-themed comedic television quiz show. It airs on ABC1 at 8:30 on Wednesday nights, with the show repeated on Thursdays on ABC2 at 8pm. 2009 marked Spicks and Specks’ fifth season, with the first episode aired on Wednesday 4 February. The 2007 season is repeated every Friday at 1:30pm on ABC1. It is filmed at ABC Melbourne’s Ripponlea studios.

The show is hosted by stand-up comedian Adam Hills who poses questions to two teams each headed by a permanent team captain, Actor/comedian Alan Brough and Mildura-raised radio announcer Myf Warhurst. They each have two guest panelists, generally one from the world of music and one from comedy.”

What's the problem cracker boy? You think this is about news? The issues?

It's about keeping patriotism, i.e. dissent, under the heels of the manipulators, to distract the intellectual cripples away from the road to serfdom and transformation of our history and our very identity as a nation.

Join the game at your own risk.

Wow this is like indisputable proof that there is racism in the Tea Party movement. Cause like nobody could possibly have fake twitter accounts that they would use to malign their enemies with. Why you’d like have to be a follower of Saul Alinsky to come up with something that brilliant.

I looked into this last week when this first came out. Sonny Thomas is a certified anti-semetic, racist knuckle dragger.
