Left-wing Black Activist Acknowledges Race Attacks on Tea Party Are Bogus But 'Effective'
NewsBusters.org ^ | July 30, 2010

Posted on 07/30/2010 11:01:59 AM PDT by EternalVigilance

What will it take for the media to acknowledge that the Tea Party is not a racist movement, and that liberals have smeared it as such in a naked politicization of race relations? How about a lefty activist admitting just that.

UPenn professor Mary Frances Berry, a leader of the "far-left black political scene," as NB Executive Editor Matt Sheffield wrote,  penned this astonishing email to Politico, published on July 20:

Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

JournoList was going to do the same thing to some random conservative - they mentioned Fred Barns as a possible.

Some journolist liars were going to gang up on him and accuse him of being a racist just because he was a conservative on FOX... total Alinsky. They knew it wasn't true - and didn't care.

Funny how the MSM isn't doing crap with that story.

We're up against thugs - - something we need to remember ...

In other words, Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is being employed by the democrat party...which is a national level political party, so we could call them the National Socialist Party...but since the unions are at the core of the party maybe the National Socialist Workers Party would be even more accurate...but then that's too long...for short the democrat party could accurately be called the NAZI party.

What’s the most effective counter? Ridicule? Ignoring them?

Cancel your support of radical liberals...

If you subscribe to a liberal newspaper, call and cancel.

If you enjoy movies, quit attending for the sake of your country.

If your children are in public schools, see if you can get them into a conservative charter school or private school.

Cancel all magazine subscriptions.

Do NOT buy from companies that are known supporters of the far left.

If you have liberal friends, see if you can "do better"...

That's just for starters...

THEY are at war with us. Remember how elite liberals would laugh about our lack of sophistication when we would accuse them of working together - against us - in the press? Turns out they were working together - and lying about it. Yeah, the sophistication of the sociopath...

The press is dishonest.

Yet they continue to trot out the meme about “McCarthyism”

There is a genuine witchhunt going on. And it is from the same crowd who decried McCarthyism and ignore the Venona papers.

Textbooks are going to need to expose this era of history (1933-2012) the same as they cover Tammany Hall.

That's right, honey, ya'll just keep working for Massa Cracker on the Democrantation, ya heah! He gones be lookin attaya reals good...

I lived in the pre-civil rights South when Democrats ran the place - and trust me - dems were the racists. And no - Maddox switched, but the rest of 'em just lied about their old positions...and stayed dems. The MSM NEVER told the blacks about Byrd or any of the rest of them.

Nice to see old racist dems taught this old lady how to use KKK tricks and the lying ways of the White Citizens Councils. She must be proud of herself. Dem racists lied against blacks - back then. It was effective too. Could the dem Byrd have loaned her his hate book - her attack on the Tea Party's like a page of that book.

She's black - and a fool. And sweetie - that's not racist - it's the gawd awful truth.

Ridicule.....telling them “staying on the DEMOCRAT PLANTATION sure has worked, hasn’t it?” said with a dripping, sneering smile.

"Ridicule. Incessant ridicule."

Followed by shame! They know shame. It goes straight to their heart.

“democ RAT”.

"Yes, there are black crackers. I've known a lot of black crackers. They get a secure position with affirmative action and get to call the shots on the Democrat plantation. Black crackers don't care about black people they care about power." - Sen. Black Byrd

Keep thinking that, Mary. The race card strategy is sooooo 9/10 and like 0bama fatigue, America has race card fatigue.

So, go ahead and over play that hand one more time . . . . . .

And, when the Dems lose their @$$ in November, you can dedicate the remainder of your racist "career" wondering what happened!!

I respond with something I heard on here. “Your race card is declined because of overuse; no further charges will be accepted. Have a nice day.” And don’t don’t respond to any more race baiting.

I remember her when she was the chairman of some equality or diversity committee in the federal government during the Clinton administration. She has been a wretched racist for decades.

Race Attacks on Tea Party Are Bogus But 'Effective'

It reminds me years ago when Republicans controlled congress during the Clinton years. Congress had just finished debating and voting on a bill (I forget what the bill was about). Democrats were against it, and as they voiced their disagreement, they pretty much repeated almost word for word the same objections. A Republican congressman was being interviewed on C-Span about the bill and he revealed that after the debate and vote, he approached a Democrat congressman (he didnt give the name of the Dem) and, refering to the mans rhetoric against the bill, asked, "Come on now. Is any of that true?" and the Dem congressman replied: "No, its not true. Its what works"

Always point out that the economy began it's nosedive immediately after the 2006 mid-term election when the Democrats took control of Congress and spending.

Note that Guantanamo has not been closed. (Then smile as they begin to smolder into a purple rage.)

If they try to turn the conversation back towards Bush, as they inevitably will, just sigh and say, "Thank God that man was still in office long enough for the Surge to work in Iraq."

When they blame the economic crisis and stimulus 1 on Bush, point out that the all important meeting with Hank(y Panky) Paulson could not take place unless Obama was in the room. Remember?

Drop the phrase "Obama's Afghanistan" into the conversation as often as possible. I'm serious. Instead of saying just "Afghanistan," say "Obama's Afghanistan." They will go into a blind rage and you'll feel better.

Always smile. They really freaking hate that.

Mention the New Black Panthers as often as possible. Jeremiah Wright seems to fall on deaf ears, but the term "New Black Panthers" seems to send the antenna up, even though they will try to ignore it. Mention the "Race Hustlers." I also like the previous poster's "Black Ku Klux Klan."

I've also noticed that they will bring up the 60's and Selma when talking about SB1070. Always take the opportunity to note that the vast majority of segregationists were Democrats. Name a few. Al Gore's old man is a good place to start. I stopped one idiot in her tracks when she referred to Joe Arpaio as a "modern day Bull Connor." I just laughed and said, "Arpaio could never be a Bull Connor. That would require being a Democrat!"

Other than those few mentions, just change the subject when they start calling you a racist. Pick any other topic. I'll no longer step to that sh!t because it's just a ploy to get you angry and off topic.

If you're on Facebook, post occasional links to stories you find interesting - mostly about crooked Dem politicians. There is certainly a wealth of fodder! I've found that most of my "center/moderate" friends don't see these stories in the media and are often surprised and angered (in a good way) when they do see them. The Liberals will then come out of the woodwork and you can just delete them and not have any association with them anymore. As the previous poster said, this is war. I've had it with being "nice." I even had one "friend" that I've known since college threaten to turn me in to my employer for "posting political crap on Facebook on company time." Little did he know, I was sick at home that day. FAIL.

Keep up your spirits. Come here and talk to the folks here and read what they say. FReepers are true patriots.

That is an excellent response. I forgot to mention that another thing I will say is along the lines of, “Yeah, you just keep beatin’ that race horse. Beat it like a rented mule. Beat it until it means absolutely nothing anymore.” Then move past it.

Doggonit, thought of another.

Point out the lack of jobs. The majority of Libs who spend all day posting online are there because they can't find work. Beat that drum repeatedly. Point out how useless their Master's degree is in Obama's economy. Say something like, "Wow, it must really suck to have spent all that time, money and effort in school to just have it all wasted in Obama's Economy." Use "Obama's Economy" like you use "Obama's Afghanistan." Illustrate Obama's lie of "no more than 8% unemployment" with a chart from ShadowStats.com that shows the true unemployment to be around 22-23%. An unemployed Liberal is fair game. Humiliate them. Don't use this tactic on anyone but a true, black-hearted Lib because that would just be mean... not to mention possibly karma-inducing. Especially in Obama's Economy. Any one of us could be next.

Great comments, polygirl. The 'smile' one got me - because they really do hate that we're happy... Also, thanks for your kind words and encouragement... we do need to keep our spirits up...
