    If that were true, then why are its aims also supported by non-White conservatives Michelle Malkin and RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

    Video Proves Tea Party Activist Did Not Spit On Democrat

    On March 20, Democrats and the corporate media launched a misleading propaganda offensive claiming Tea Party protesters in Washington spat on Missouri Democrat Emanuel Cleaver and hurled racial epithets at members of the Congressional Black Caucus as they walked to the Capitol.

    “The congressman was walking into the Capitol to vote, when one protester spat on him. The congressman would like to thank the U.S. Capitol Police officer who quickly escorted the other Members and him into the Capitol, and defused the tense situation with professionalism and care,” said Danny Rotert, a spokesman for Cleaver.

    In fact, nobody spat on Cleaver. He wandered too close to a screaming protester and was hit by flying saliva. The “N” word cannot be heard in either of the videos below, although it is difficult to tell what beyond “kill the bill” is being yelled at the Congress critters as they flaunted their power over the plebs.

    Oh dear God. "Hit by flying saliva"??? Cop on, Rhonda. That's like "ah ref, I didn't kick him in the face - he head-butted me in the foot!"

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Did you even look at the videos?
    Cleaver practically walked head first into someone yelling their heads off - if you do that there is a strong likelihood of being hit by spittle - and then he lies to the media saying someone was arrested for this when nobody was ever arrested.
    As for someone using the "N" word - a reward of $100,00 was offered to anyone having video/audio of this happening - but no-one has come forward with any evidence.

    This is nothing but an attempt by race baiters and race pimps to shut down any form of protest - so transparent.

    National Polls Shatter Myth Of Tea Party As Right Wing Fringe Group

    Survey: Four in 10 Tea Party members are Democrats or independents

    Four in 10 Tea Party members are either Democrats or Independents, according to a new national survey.

    The findings provide one of the most detailed portraits to date of the grassroots movement that started last year.

    The national breakdown of the Tea Party composition is 57 percent Republican, 28 percent Independent and 13 percent Democratic, according to three national polls by the Winston Group, a Republican-leaning firm that conducted the surveys on behalf of an education advocacy group. Two-thirds of the group call themselves conservative, 26 are moderate and 8 percent say they are liberal.

    Poll which underlines the folly of the poster who said the GOP "would pay" for opposing the health-care bill.

    Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly feel closer to the Tea Party and most Democrats say that their views are more like Obama’s. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 50% say they’re closer to the Tea Party while 38% side with the President.
