Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. :
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.
Did she forget her /sarc tag?
When I first clicked on the link, I thought that pic was Colin P0well.
Do you remember who Mary Francis Berry is?
She was a member of the Civil Rights Commission whose term expired. GWB was POTUS then, and this piece of excrement REFUSED (for a while, until she lost in court) to step down at the end of her term and allow W’s appointee Peter Kirsanow to take his seat.
There is no racist idea too outrageous for MF Berry to put forth.
So does Sophia Nelson:
Race and the tea-party movement is a false debate
So when will there be a Long Island Iced Tea Party?
Yeah she defended the Tea Party all right. She said that there is no evidence that they are any more racist than any other people, but go ahead and call them racists to force them defend themselves instead of being able to discuss the issues. Ya, a great civil rights spokes-idiot we have there.
Here’s her statement, Carley, that Andrew Breitbart read aloud on Hannity’s TV show tonight.
Berry is an old Maoist-admiring leftist from the Clinton administration. Has a few red fronts in her closet. Will post them as they are found.
Also believe she was tied up in a pro-Castro communist front out of New York.
She was a nasty bitch on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission.

False title...
Mary Frances is known as “Dingle” to her acquaintances.
Why hasn’t the Tea Party gone after those who charge them with racism? Seems as though a huge defamation lawsuit would shut this viral campaign of lies right down.
Berry, like Kagan, are examples of the appointees you get from Democrat presidents. Yet the American people persist in electing them. If Clinton and 0bama truly were “moderates” or represented middle American values they would not appoint divisive far lefties like there.
I know you’ve been following it too. Pick a Republican, any Republican, Fred Barnes, Karl Rove. Accuse them of racism. They sputter and spit, and forget their message about the economy, jobs, national defense. Make them defend themselves against the accusation, no matter how false.
I want to join the Jasmine Tea Party.
