It looks like that was from the April Tea Party Express rally with Sarah Palin.

The liberal group Think Progress has fellow liberals all excited today with a video that purports to document alleged pervasive racism at Tea Party rallies.
The fifty-three second YouTube video contains about forty-four seconds of racist or bigoted statements or images. Out of the millions who participated in the thousands of Tea Party rallies over the past year-and-a-half, the video features footage or photos of fifteen 'bigoted' people. They even throw in a gratuitous shot at Glenn Beck with a photo of a woman holding a sign that simply says "Thank God--There's Glen (sic) Beck!"
Inadvertently acknowledging a shortage of Tea Party racists, the video repeats footage of five white men making racist statements. One of the 'racists', who is filmed saying Obama is "too black" to be president, is standing with his black wife, daughter and son.
Two of the others express hatred of Mexicans and "wetbacks." Another flatly states he is a proud racist while another yells about Obama's "Afro-Leninism."
There are a few segments featuring bigotry. One snippet has a man calling another man a "faggot." A woman is shown expressing her fear of Muslims taking over America and a man is shown saying Obama should be sent back to Kenya. There are also a few still photos of racist signs and a t-shirt.
What the Think Progress video shows is that out of millions of Tea Party activists, there are a handful of goobers and racists who show up at Tea Party protests. None of the footage is of leaders of the movement or speakers at the rallies making racist comments.
Unlike, say, the NAACP which features racist speakers at their events.
Or the Democrat Party which elevates people with a history of racism and racist comments to high office like president and vice-president of the United States, president pro-tempore of the Senate, secretary of State, etc.
Exactly! The NAACP has membership rolls and, I presume, membership cards. Any member making racist statements can be tied to that organization. The Tea Party is a grassroots organization. There's no formal membership and anyone can just show up. So first off the fact that they have to scrape so hard to find racism in a collection of basically random people says a lot. Secondly, since there is no formal organization, how do you expel anyone?
It looks like that was from the April Tea Party Express rally with Sarah Palin.
Exactly! If they are putting this up as a rebuttal to the Shabazz half crazed hate-a-thon, I believe they failed. Even Farakan or Wright have spewed more hate in one speech than these morons could put together from thousands and thousands of hours of footage. Pathetic and desperate come to mind when describing this.
That pic looks photoshopped. The woman in back of those two guys in not proportionally correct to the position of those two guys.
Is it just me?
It's pretty revealing that this is the best they can offer: a few seconds worth of fringe elements whose affiliation with the Tea Party organizations is entirely speculative... as opposed to the proven communist and socialist radicals and hate-filled agitators who are not merely affiliated with but command the entire apparatus of the Left.
I think it’s just you this time.
If this is the best they have, it ain’t much. They are ideological to a fault. They will never understand true diversity within a group like this. I bet if we scoured videos of the NAACP or the Panthers, we would find a lot (and I mean A LOT) more than they were able to dig up (and strangely edit) to drive home their point. Actually, I hope some one does put something together to expose the incredible hypocracy.
Video labeled “private”. I wonder why. Maybe they knew that it could be easily refuted.
1) "A woman is shown expressing her fear of Muslims taking over America" - Which is many muslims' stated goal.
2) "a man is shown saying Obama should be sent back to Kenya" - An arguable point, given 0bama's unwilliness to spend $12 to release his full birth certificate.
3) a photo of a woman holding a sign that simply says "Thank God--There's Glen (sic) Beck!"
4) "One of the 'racists', who is filmed saying Obama is "too black" to be president, is standing with his black wife, daughter and son." - Do they not understand humor / irony / sarcasm?
5) another yells about Obama's "Afro-Leninism." - 0bama proudly proclaims both (see Joe the Plumber), so what's the problem?
Leaving the Leftists with what?
a) "wetbacks" b) "a proud racist" c) "faggot"
Pretty thin gruel, I'd say.
Why would a woman at a Tea Party Rally carry a sign that says "Generic Angry Slogan"? And "I'm Gay for Palin"? Huh - really?
Also: on the reverse of the "White People" sign, there appears to be a Smiley Face and the word "Silenced!" Odd, to say the least (I'm still photo-analyzing). Finally, the hair, young age and dress of the two men in the picture are at odds with the character of most others I've seen at such rallies.
Yeah - one of the guys they featured in their video was CHASED OUT of the Tea Party BY the TEA PARTIERS for being racist.
Of course THAT context isn’t shown.
I imagine those green signs were a cue to whoever took the photo for the dems.
Next time, and there will be a next time, someone needs to take video of these folks being ousted.
I suppose people should be looking for clues like the sign color sticking out.
You and i both know where it should be shoved but won’t say since it would cause me to get booted..LOL!

Tea-party crashers: ‘I’m gay for Palin’

Here's a photo of the plant.
The “White People are Angry” guy is pretty obviously a liberal agitator. They show up; in a public space there’s no real way around it.
“How do we know they weren’t plants?”
BINGO! We already know two of them were plants. This is dirty politics at it’s worst.
Expect it to get even worse.
