It's clear that who ever wrote this is clueless about the TEA Party movement.

It has absolutely no relation to the Boston Tea Party itself. The only commonality would be in respect to the issue of taxes. However, even the taxes at issue are completely different in nature.

Taxed Enough Already = TEA not Tea.
As for the hating black people, that statement merely reveals that the author of this is in fact a RACIST BIGOT.

As an African American I feel that such a vile racist reference is highly offensive.

This drivel merely shows who the true vile incendiary ignorant hate mongering race baiters in our country are, and if you still can't guess, the answers in the mirror.

When will you Liberal Nazis and Conservative Fascist ever grow up. And yes, Liberals have literally adopted most of the Nazi Parties Agendas.

The mass extermination of over 50 million defenseless children is precisely how the Nazis got rid of the people they deemed to be a bother and justified their slaughter by claiming them to be less than human with no right to live, and a Holocaust is a Holocaust no matter how you dress it up. This list could cover hours.
