An Iced Tea Party? (Dem Midterm Strategy)

[Is this Berry woman dumb or what?]

It may be she is using sarcasm in hopes of promoting a higher political dialog than what the White House and its minions now spout.

As Democrats continue to push the race card Berry's words could be used by Republicans in campaign commercials.

Mary Francis Berry is one of the original race pimps. I wouldn’t give ANYTHING she says any credence, at all.

Thanks, that helped a bit...that a some conservative colleagues in the work place. I still have a sense of Boston 1770 or Paris in 1785

We will see in November if there are any real Democrats left or if the socialists have taken over lock, stock and barrel. If the libtards, have won, I will follow the political dictum so aptly expressed by Malcolm X "the Bullet or the Ballot".

You keep thinking that DEM-WIT, we are not falling for it anymore.

Angry people vote. If traditionally, less than 60% of those eligible to vote go to the polls, 30% of the eligible can control the outcome. That means only 30% have to be angry enough to show up and to “vote the bums out.” You think folks angry about TARP, Stimulus, Health Care, financial reform, pending end of the Bush tax cuts — those folks are at least 30% of the eligible? I do. Note in an “off-year”, its not even anywhere close to 60% participation, but that makes my 30% that much more devastating for the rats in November. Imagine, if the Republicans could actually offer a candidate you could get excited about.

Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats.

No it isn't. The race card has been overplayed and people are tired of it. It isn't playing well in Peoria and it isn't playing well with mainstream Americans.

But, if the fools at the Politico want to shovel this dung and make us think we're buying, it makes the coming November results that much more of a Shock (and Awe!) for them!!

Yes siree bob, politico is who we should be listening to!

If this racist Tea Party thingy was so successful the MSM, and the whole damn left would have been on Shirley Sheerod and this story like a duck after a junebug on Sunday’s talking head shows. Not one peep. Rush was just talking about this and contends that this racist Tea Party thingy backfired on the lefties big time, so they dropped the subject.

When you can’t get any more traction from “Blame Bush”, reach for that old standby, “Racism”.

[Publius6961]

Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

Or the endemic cultural criminality of the group doing the accusing...

If I am ever called a 'racist,' my only response would be call the proven racist DOJ and be prepared to prove it.

Trial by jury; Discovery. Good luck!
