A Decade of Fake News.  2010: Tea Party "N-word."  The media's claimed, based on false allegations by House Democrats, that Tea Party protesters called civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) the "n-word" at a demonstration on Capitol Hill against Obamacare.  Andrew Breitbart offered $10,000, then $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund if anyone could provide video proving the allegation.  No one ever did, but the fake news tarnished the Tea Party — permanently.

The Return of the Tea-Party-is-Racist Smear.  [Scroll down]  My most vivid recollection of the great Tea Party's Taxpayer March on Washington on the National Mall on September 12, 2009 was the white Tea Partiers being overjoyed to meet and greet the few black Americans that turned up at the event.  It was even a bit embarrassing to see how pathetically glad they were to see African-Americans joining their parade.  So there you are:  if the Tea Partiers were overjoyed to see blacks at their march, that's racism, straight up!  But hey:  If you opposed any of President Obama's initiatives, they called you a racist.  If you oppose Affirmative Action or "diversity and inclusion" they call you a racist.  If you attack any liberal black politician they call you a racist.  If you oppose any liberal program they call you a racist.  Not to mention that if you disagree with a feminist they call you a sexist, and if you disagree with an LGBT they call you a homophobe.

24 Hours of Media Malpractice.  [Scroll down]  When Democratic congressmen claimed they were called racial epithets at a Tea Party protest, the media reported it as a fact even though it was just an allegation.  The slurs were supposedly made in broad daylight with dozens of cameras around.  Conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart pledged $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund if anyone could provide evidence supporting the congressmen's claims.  No one ever did.

The Left Can't Stop Lying About The Tea Party.  "In the late summer of 2009, as the recession-ravaged economy bled half a million jobs a month, the country seemed to lose its mind," The New York Times says, kicking off its tenth anniversary retrospective of the Tea Party movement.  As you can imagine, the rest of the article continues in this vein, portraying conservatives who organized against Obamacare as a bunch of vulgar radicals.  Yet even this revisionism wasn't enough for most contemporary leftists, who see everything through the prism of race.

NYT Does It Again:  Changes Piece After Left-Wing Backlash, Adds 'Racist' References.  In the second high-profile instance in less than a month, The New York Times has once again made changes to an article after backlash from leftist critics who did not feel the paper painted the right with a critical enough brush. [...] On Wednesday, the Times published a piece portraying the Tea Party as supposedly having "unleashed the politics of anger" that lives on in the era of Trump.  "The Tea Party Didn't Get What It Wanted, but It Did Unleash the Politics of Anger," the loaded headline reads.  But after publishing the piece and being met with yet more backlash from its left-wing readers for having not portrayed the Tea Party as enough of a villain, the Times notified readers that the piece has been revised "to include context about attacks on President Barack Obama and racist displays at some Tea Party rallies."

More about The New York Times.

Leftists Lie About (spins dial) the Tea Party Being Racist.  The endless parade of endless leftist lying has now gotten to the Tea Party.  Everything and every one that stands between the Democratic Party and power gets labeled as racist, so why should the Tea Party, a spontaneous grassroots movement that helped Republicans retake the the House and Senate following the passage of ObamaCare, be any different?  As always, it's a complete and utter lie.

MSNBC's Joan Walsh: 'Really Good Research' Proves Trump Voters Motivated By 'Fears Of Brown People.  The idea of liberals doing any sort of research, let alone "really good research," is nothing short of absolutely laughable.  The fact that Joan Walsh had the gall to get up and say that she researched something (or someone else researched it and she's just parroting it without taking a gander into the facts) is humorous enough.  Yet more hilarious is the idea that "really good research shows" that Trump voters only elected the Republican President because of their "fear of brown people."

Tea Party: Branded Stupid, Racist, and Extreme.  My wife Mary pointed it out.  "With over 500 rallies under your belt, you have probably participated in more tea parties than anyone in America."  Mine was a rare black face in the early days of the T.P. movement.  While my black family, friends, and associates were hypnotized by his skin color, I dared to consider the content of Obama's character and intentions for my country.  My numerous T.P national bus tours included 14 on Tea Party Express.  The rally attendees (patriots) were typically well-mannered middle-aged whites, families with their kids, and others negatively impacted by Obama's unlawful mandates and actions (tyranny).  Thus, I was always amazed that so many Americans viewed the T.P. as racist and extreme.

Just To Be Clear.  Words don't simply lose meaning by themselves; the meaning is stripped from them through abuse.  To be called a racist was once a serious charge, as was to claim racism.  Unfortunately for real victims of racism, every utterance today is subject to accusations of racism, which dilutes real incidents of racism to background noise.  Once left-wing activists discovered they could mobilize masses, obtain influence and power, and, more importantly, monetize claims of racism, real or manufactured, it was game on.  The word may have retained its meaning, but the charge is all but meaningless.

Glenn Beck: Tea Partiers Who Support Donald Trump Are Racist.  On Tuesday, talk radio host Glenn Beck accused the Tea Party supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump of being racists.  While he questioned whether Trump's supporters are genuine Tea Partiers, Beck said of them, "If you were a Tea Party person, then you were lying.  You were lying.  It was about Barack Obama being black.  It was about him being a Democrat."  Although he later identified fellow talk show host Sean Hannity as a Tea Party supporter who thinks Trump is "a great guy," Beck said that he simply disagrees with Hannity about Trump.

Tea Party Activists Blast Beck Over Racism Charges.  Glenn Beck's very public psychological disintegration is reaching new levels.  On Tuesday [9/15/2015], he made an unsubstantiated claim on his nationally syndicated radio program about the character of Tea Party activists who support Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Black Conservative Son Educates Dad on Dems' Race Lies.  [Scroll down]  I informed Dad that Rep. Andre Carson of the Congressional Black Caucus said the Tea Party wants to see blacks hanging from a tree.  This vile hatemonger politician ignored the fact that many Tea Party folks voted for Obama before he began unilaterally implementing socialist policies — a key component of his hostile takeover/fundamental transformation of America.

Trey Gowdy Doesn't Take Too Kindly to Suggestion That GOP is Racist.  Is racism the underlying reason why congressional Republicans oppose the president's decision to stop deporting some five million illegal immigrants?  That's preposterous, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) said emphatically at a congressional hearing earlier this week.

NRSC wants my money so they can support "proud conservative candidates".  In case you're wondering, the answer is yes: The NRSC is indeed the same establishment group that spent $800,000 turning out Democrats to pick the Republican nominee in Mississippi earlier this week by, among other things, labeling the actual conservative candidate and his supporters as racists.

Radio ads in Mississippi senate race accused tea party candidate of Ku Klux Klan links.  A series of three racially charged radio ads that ran in rural Mississippi on Election Day played a role in driving black Democrats to vote in a Republican primary run-off election.  MailOnline has exclusively obtained audio of the ads.  They were broadcast 48 times in a 12-hour period Tuesday on WMGO-AM radio in the town of Canton, and urged black Mississippians to cross party lines and support GOP Sen. Thad Cochran in his smash-mouth contest against tea party insurgent Chris McDaniel.

GOP consultant: Tea party complaints 'racist and stupid'.  "There is something a bit strange, there is something a bit unusual, about a Republican primary that's decided by liberal Democrats," McDaniel said to a roar from supporters on election night in Hattiesburg.

Who Paid for Race-Baiting Flier in Mississippi?  Who paid for it?  Who will investigate it?  Who will apologize for it?  "It" being the flier distributed in the Mississippi Senate GOP primary, [...] whose headline reads:  "The Tea Party intends to prevent blacks from voting on Tuesday."  The flier says that the Tea Party uses the word "Democrats" as "code" for blacks.

Fmr. NAACP President: Tea Party's Disrespect Toward Obama Drove Politics 'Into a Ditch'.  Benjamin Jealous, the former president of the NAACP, appeared on MSNBC on Thursday and praised Attorney General Eric Holder's remarks before the National Action Network, in which he implied that both he and President Barack Obama suffer race-based indignities from conservatives.  Jealous said the nation should count itself "blessed" to have such an honest attorney general and blamed the tea party for the racial antipathy directed at White House officials.

Tea Party Patriots Co-Founder: 'Vile' for Wall Street Journal to Call Movement Racist.  Tea Party Patriots co-founder Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News, "it's sad and unfortunate that we're seeing another rant from another person who is completely disconnected from grassroots conservatives and knows nothing about the Tea Party except what he hears on MSNBC."  Martin was referring to columnist William Galston, who wrote that the Tea Party was a mob and "offers nothing except nostalgia for a demography that is in retreat and a Constitution that never was."

Tea Party "Mean and Racist" Rangel Says.  Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) has suggested Tea Partiers were racists before, but was far blunter in a NY1 appearance Tuesday night [3/18/2014] in which he said they are "mean racist people."  Rangel managed to rip the self-style group of conservative in the same few sentences in which he mocked President Obama.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright slams tea party as 'a 2.0 upgrade of a lynch party'.  The Rev. Jeremiah Wright — known for his perceived anti-American rhetoric and ties to President Obama — has come out strong against the tea party, blasting them in a speech as akin to a lynch mob.  "We've got some unfinished business on the agenda, with one branch of the tea party being nothing but a 2.0 upgrade of a lynch party," Mr. Wright said at a Martin Luther King Day event in Delaware, according to the Wilmington News-Journal.  "We've got some unfinished business on the agenda, with some folks doing everything they can to get that black man out of their White House."

Grayson Defends Burning-Cross Image.  Representative Alan Grayson (D., Fla.) is standing by his campaign's use of a burning cross in a fundraising e-mail to illustrate a comparision between the Tea Party and the Klu Klux Klan.  "If the shoe fits, wear it," he said in a written statement.

U.S. Representative Puts Burning Cross in Fundraising Email.  Alan Grayson, the Democratic representative from Florida's 9th congressional district, sent out a fundraising email that showed a burning cross used to represent the "T" in Tea Party.

Liberal rep. compares Tea Party to KKK in fundraising pitch.  Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), a liberal firebrand known for his controversial comments, compared the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan in an email to supporters that features a photo of a burning cross.

Hatred Of Tea Party Crosses The Line.  As liberals obsess over the name of a football team, they ignore hate speech spewing from their own ranks over Americans' exercise of constitutional rights.

Cokie Roberts on MSNBC: 'Some... Tea Party anger is racist'.  Responding to a question about whether tea party opposition to Democrats might subside a bit if Hillary Clinton jumped into the presidential race, "Morning Joe" panelist Cokie Roberts proclaimed, "I also think — and just calling it — that some of this tea party anger is racist and that having a non-black person on the ticket will defuse it to some degree."

Charlie's crackers.  The hoopla began with a Rangel slam against the Tea Party:  "It is the same group we faced in the South with those white crackers and the dogs and the police," the Harlem congressman told Politico.  "They didn't care about how they looked."  In other words, the Tea Partiers are the heirs of Bull Connor and the segregationists.

Julian Bond backs IRS tea party targeting.  Civil rights icon Julian Bond defended the IRS for targeting tea party groups, on Tuesday, labeling them "the Taliban wing of American politics."  "I think it's entirely legitimate to look at the tea party," Bond said on MSNBC.  "Here are [sic] a group of people who are admittedly racist, who are overtly political, who've tried as best they can to harm President Obama in every way they can."

Those crazy, lone-wolf, low level IRS employees.  Frank Rich of the New York Times and Dana Milbank of The Washington Post painted Tea Partiers as violent, racist rednecks, with Rich going so far as to compare Tea Partiers' protests against Obamacare to Kristallnacht. [...] Despite the presence of multitudes of cameras and microphones at the moment of claimed racial slurs on CapitolHill on that weekend of the health care reform vote, no audio or video evidence has been brought forth.  To this day, despite the fact that Andrew Brietbart had offered a $100,000 reward, no one has stepped forward with evidence this ever actually occurred.

Dem Pollster Shocked to Find No Racism in Tea Partiers, So They Invent Some.  [Scroll down]  "We know that Evangelicals are the largest bloc in the base, with the Tea Party very strong as Well," the memo reads.  They feign shock at the notion that Republicans view President Barack Obama as a "liar" and a "manipulator," two designations that the majority of American voters would agree with but to which the Democratic base's Pavlovian response is to point and shriek "racism."  Indeed, the pollsters even confess that they "expected" to find more racism among Republican voters.  "We expected that in this comfortable setting or in their private written notes, some would make a racial reference or racist slur when talking about the African American President," they confess.  "None did."

Professor blames 'southern white radicals' for Obamacare debacle.  A professor who teaches constitutional law courses at the City University of New York's John Jay College of Criminal Justice penned a Christmas Day essay blaming "southern White radicals" for the disastrous, slow-motion train wreck failure that has been the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.  The essay, by Gloria J. Browne-Marshall at the website Politics in Color, is entitled "2013: A Year of Racial Challenges."  "[S]outhern White radicals vowed to stop implementation of the Obama-care law leading one to wonder if Tea Party members would oppose affordable healthcare if it came from a nonBlack [sic] President," writes Browne-Marshall.

ESPN's Tony Kornheiser links tea party to Islamic State: Are they 'trying to establish a caliphate?  Mr. Kornheiser invited political journalist and Huffington Post editor Howard Fineman on his ESPN 980 radio show to talk about Paul Ryan and the Tea Party on Friday, Newsbusters reported.  Mr. Fineman argued that Mr. Ryan, if elected as House Speaker, would have to spend most of his time trying to deal with "these tea party people."

Those crazy, lone-wolf, low level IRS employees.  Let's not forget that for the last few years, every time there has been a mass shooting or a terrorist plot revealed, the media reflexively pointed their fingers at the Tea Party movement.  Just three short hours after the first reports came in about the mass shooting in Tucson, Paul Krugman of the New York Times posted in his "Conscience of a Liberal" blog a quote by Rep. Gifford's grieving, distressed father that "'the whole Tea Party' was her enemy."  His intention was to lead the reader to conclude that the Tea Party was somehow to blame.

The Top 50 Liberal Media Bias Examples.  [#14]  Anti-Tea Party Bias:  The leftist media really loves to hate the Tea Party movement.  Any manner of lies and calumny has been ascribed to the Tea Party.  They are racists, homophobes, haters, even terrorists of all sorts as far as the Old Media is concerned.  In one incident, for instance, the media assigned Obama-as-Hitler signs sported at a Tea Party event to Tea Party members themselves.  In fact, though, the Obama-Hitler posters actually belonged to the extremist LaRouche organization, a group Tea Partiers opposed.

Nat Geo Producer: John Wilkes Booth 'Could Be the Poster Child for the Tea Party'.  Executive Producer Erik Jendresen of National Geographic Channel's upcoming television movie "Killing Lincoln," said John Wilkes Booth "could be the poster child for the Tea Party." [...] Jendresen's remarks about Booth were in response to a reporter's question about how much history kids know today.

New York Times Reporter Lays Out 'Far-Right Agenda' of Texas Tea Party.  The New York Times's Manny Fernandez greeted the opening of the biannual Texas legislative session in Austin in Wednesday's [1/9/2013] paper:  "Texas Budget Surplus Proves as Contentious As a Previous Shortfall."  After explaining how Texas has become flush with cash over the last two years, going from a budget deficit to surplus, Fernandez couldn't help working in a cut against the "far-right" Tea Party.

MSNBC: The Racist Network.  MSNBC is arguably the most race obsessed cable news network on television and they beat a single drum constantly.  In their narrow view, all white conservatives are racists, the Tea Party is a terrorist organization and the Republican Party is as white as the snows of January.  This leads me to wonder why MSNBC also does everything it can to demonize black conservatives.

Mother Jones: 'Right-Wing Extremism' Killed More Since 9/11 Than Islamic Terror.  On Wednesday, Mother Jones ran an article making a shocking claim:  more Americans have been killed by conservative terrorists than by Islamic terrorists since September 11, 2001. [...] But is it true?  The Mother Jones piece is based on a study by the New America Foundation and Syracuse University's Maxwell School.  But that study routinely labels non-right-wing murderers right-wingers, and labels basic crimes involving murder "terrorist attacks."

'Where's The Fence?' Sen. McCain Faces Angry Residents While Defending Immigration Plan During Town Hall.  On Tuesday night [2/19/2013], Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) faced a frustrated crowd when defending his immigration plan during a town hall meeting.  Responding to concerns about border security, McCain received a less-than-pleased reaction from residents.

Al Sharpton's Chicago Town Hall Erupts into Revolt Against Machine Politics.  On Thursday [12/19/2013], a town hall meeting hosted by Al Sharpton and the National Action Network to address gun violence exploded into a revolt against "Chicago Machine" politics, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and the aldermen in City Hall, with panel and audience members calling to vote out their elected officials.

The Riots Began With Obama's Embrace of Occupy Wall Street.  Politico declared Friday that President Donald Trump faced "a culture war of his own making" in the riots following George Floyd's death.  There is no doubt that Trump has fought back in that culture war — but he did not start it.  The chaos currently running amok on America's streets began with President Barack Obama's embrace of the Occupy Wall Street movement in the fall of 2011, shared by then-Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other Democrats.

Not Guilty:  The Tea Party and Violence.  [W]ith the help of fake news media, Democrats/leftists have deceived many Americans into believing that Conservatives, Republicans, Christians, and Tea Party people are the hateful aggressors.  We are not.  We are the ones minding our own business. [...] In response to the spontaneous grassroots birth of the Tea Party, Democrats orchestrated their Occupy Wall Street movement.  Fake news media loved it, claiming OWS was morally superior to the Tea Party.  Hogwash!  OWS deadbeats trashed every site of their events, leaving mountains of trash and human waste.  People were raped at OWS camps.  OWS attracted people obsessed with viewing themselves as victims of someone or something.  Wacko anti-American, anti-capitalism, pro-socialism and pro-communism zealots found a home in OWS.

The Left Holds Itself to Lower Standards of Behavior.  One of the nastiest more recent liberal events was the Occupy movement around the nation.  During Occupy protests, there were rapes, assaults, robberies, and holdups.  These people publicly defecated and urinated on police cars.  The mess they left after their demonstrations can be described as no more than a pigsty.  Does anybody recall any Democratic official, from the president on down, admonishing them to behave?

Media Form A Human Shield Around Democrats.  Remember Occupy Wall Street?  They were going to change the world, according to the media, and bring about a "fair" Utopia that would reinvent our economic system.  All they did was defecate on police cars, contribute to the resurgence of lice and bring the heretofore-unneeded concept of "rape-free tents" into the public consciousness.  They were the "North African and Middle Eastern migrants" of their time — anything awful they did was ignored by the mainstream media to avoid upsetting the narrative.  The narrative is everything.  The narrative of Occupy Wall Street faded because it didn't catch on.  In spite of the media's help, the American people simply couldn't be manipulated into believing they had less because someone else had more.  The trust fund troubadours of Zuccotti Park, even with all their bongo playing and poetry slams, could not turn the have-somes against the have-mores.  The world simply moved on.

Why Occupy Values Lead to Occupy Violence:  While the U.S. Constitution and the Judeo-Christian legal traditions rely upon the concepts of natural law, absolute truth, and quite simply, a general agreement that some actions are right and others are wrong, the Occupy movement deconstructs those virtues as it embraces postmodernism and adheres to policies designed to turn a blind eye to violence.

A List of Occupy Mayhem Sorted by Type.

Big Business and Marxist Collusion — Bourgeois Socialism.  The Occupy Movement, as we all know, was and is a tool of the elite.  Skilled in projection and deflection, they screamed that big business was the enemy of the people and Marxism was the cure.  No sane American would fall for that tripe.  What the lame movement, if they had been honest, would have railed against was big business in collusion with big government. [...] GE, under Obama's guidance, has moved a great deal of their business into China where labor is cheaper and regulation and taxation are far less.  And now comes word that GE will make nuclear power plant parts in China.  Isn't that sleeping with the enemy?

Greenwich Village couple busted with cache of weapons, bombmaking explosives: sources.  The privileged daughter of a prominent city doctor, and her boyfriend — a Harvard grad and Occupy Wall Street activist — have been busted for allegedly having a cache of weapons and a bombmaking explosive in their Greenwich Village apartment.  Morgan Gliedman — who is nine-months pregnant — and her baby daddy, Aaron Greene, 31, also had instructions on making bombs, including a stack of papers with a cover sheet titled, "The Terrorist Encyclopedia," sources told The [New York] Post yesterday [12/30/2012].

New Details Emerge About Greenwich Village Couple Arrested On Weapons Charges.  CBS News has learned that police seized two shotguns, a flare launcher, nine high-capacity rifle magazines, various handwritten notebooks containing formulas, literature on how to make booby traps and homemade weapons, and pages from a do-it-yourself manual called "The Terrorist Encyclopedia."  The New York Post reported Greene was a member of the Occupy Wall Street movement, but the group has denied this.

Big Business and Marxist Collusion — Bourgeois Socialism.  The Occupy Movement, as we all know, was and is a tool of the elite.  Skilled in projection and deflection, they screamed that big business was the enemy of the people and Marxism was the cure.  No sane American would fall for that tripe.

Study shows that the Occupy Wall Street kids were 'the children of the elite'.  A New York college has released the illuminating findings of a survey of the folks who occupied Wall Street in 2011.  It turns out that the movement of the 99 percent contained a lot of people with links to the 1 percent.  To quote the report:  "Highly educated young adults were overrepresented among [Occupy Wall Street] activists and supporters, a group with limited ethnic/racial diversity."  Crunching the numbers, we discover that 62 percent of the Occupy movement were non-Hispanic whites and 55 percent were men.  One third lived in homes earning more than $100,000 a year (that can buy a lot of copies of Das Kapital) and more than two thirds were employed professionals.  An astonishing 76 percent had a college education.

Report: Occupy DC ruined stimulus-funded park.  The stimulus-funded Washington, D.C. park taken over by Occupy protesters in late 2011 and early 2012 is finally starting to get back on its feet thanks to a taxpayer-funded re-sodding job by the National Park Service.  "Occupy D.C.'s nearly five-month presence in McPherson Square left the park a brown, sodden mess not long after it received a $400,000 renovation paid for by the 2009 federal stimulus act," according to dcist.com.

New York City to Pay Occupy Wall Street $232,000 Over Destruction of People's Library.  The City of New York has finally agreed to pay Occupy Wall Street for the property destroyed in the Zuccotti Park police raid on Nov. 15, 2011.  OWS initiated a suit on May 24, 2012, seeking compensation for the desctruction of their People's Library — a collection of over 5,000 donated books.  About 3,600 of these were ruined during the early morning eviction of the protest camp.

The Top 50 Liberal Media Bias Examples.  [#26]  Occupy Wall Street:  The media fell in love with Occupy Wall Street protests from the second they began.  All reportage on these violent, crime-filled events has been suffused with a touch of sweetness and light by the media.  Unreported has been the over 400 crimes committed by Occupiers not to mention the many thousands of small laws like local ordinances and rules that have been broken across the country.

Former IRS commissioner's wife tweeted from Occupy Wall Street rally.  The wife of the former IRS commissioner who ran the tax agency when it was singling out conservative groups was apparently involved — at least briefly — in the Occupy Wall Street movement.  Susan L. Anderson sent a tweet in December 2011 asking people in the Washington area to attend an Occupy Wall Street rally.

NJ Doctor With Occupy Wall Street Ties Indicted on Explosives Related Charge.  A NJ doctor has been indicted on charges in relation to the storage of bomb-making materials and illegal weapons in his home.

Occupy Governor Scott.  Since three days after George Zimmerman's not guilty verdict, a rag-tag group of 30 to 50 malcontents has been indulging a messy snit with the American jury system in a hallway outside of Florida Governor Rick Scott's office in the Capitol Building in Tallahassee.  These idlers have camped there 24-7: eating, drinking, sleeping (along with some suggestions of other things) and generally making a mare's nest of part of a building that is closed to public business at 5 p.m. weekdays and on weekends.  The cost of this puerile political theater isn't trivial.

Occupy Arsonist Guilty of Destroying $10+ Million Worth of Homes and Property.  What's with the Occupy Movement's 'bee keepers' and the urge to destroy people's lives, including their own families?  After all, these are the very same  people  lunatics Obama proclaimed to the world, "are the reason I ran for office."

"When the people fear their government there is tyranny;
