Tea Party leader says he's done talking about race controversy - CNN.com

The National Tea Party Federation, an organization that represents the Tea Party political movement around the country, has expelled Williams and his Tea Party Express organization because of the inflammatory blog post Williams wrote last week, federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday.

Tea Party Not a 'Racist Organization,' Biden Says

It's nice to see that the VP and the President can realize a few elements of something do not represent the entire situation.

Tea Party Not a 'Racist Organization,' Biden Says

One might conclude that is why AC specifically mentioned white racists and white hoods.

Then one might conclude that he is as closed minded as I thought. Liberal in his own mind.

I apologize, I did mispeak..there REALLY are all kinds of racism! In fact, they are right here in NW Fla.... the Republican based Tea Party has some very "interesting" and noteworthy speakers on the agenda....

Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said the group Emerald Coast Tea Party Patriots has invited Brigitte Gabriel, the head of the anti-Islam hate group ACT! for America, to be the keynote speaker at its ?U.S. Constitution Freedom Rally?
on August 21 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla.

Great move for the movement in expelling the offender. I think this action sends a strong message that racism of any kind isn't tolerated. Kudos for the Tea Party in setting this example and precedence!

Wrong link Apha, couldn't make it work

...you don't fool anyone with your phoney I'm sorry and then use bold, colorful text and then emphasized the word HATE....Brigitte has a lot to say, she is not afraid to say it, she might not be proper in how she says it...but I do admire the courage she displays to say it. As Americans we better listen...because these radical Muslins groups that take their religion to the extreme side...do have a goal...they wish to destroy us...and are willing to do it even if it takes years or even generations...they have no remorse, they are willing to trade their own life to kill us, they kill their own with no remorse...these are dangerous times for all of us throughout the world ...and Brigitte is out there trying to warn and inform us. I agree she is harsh, perhaps not political correct, but her information she is trying to relay to us is valid and based on personal knowledge. I for one would love to hear what she has to say.

IIRC the "Radical Muslim" percentage of actual Muslims is smaller than the "Radical Christians" percentage of actual Christians.

Radical Christians would be those that shoot abortion doctors to demonstrate the "sanctity of life", want to go back to the good old days of the Crusades, and subscribe to a literal interpretation of the bible.

Lumping a very small minority in with the rest is no better than making the blanket statement that "all tea partier's are racist white thugs".

After looking at her website the only thing I can conclude is that she's got a thing for David Horowitz and seems to be really into pushing his books.

I totally agree that judging a group by the actions of a few is wrong, but interested in where you get your stats that there are more radical Christian groups than radical Muslim groups.

I would think both are equally a very small percentage of the total.

There are 2.1 billion Christians in the world and 1.5 billion Muslims. (link) Yet you believe that there are 33% more Christians shooting abortion doctors than there are Muslims setting off suicide bombs and IEDs.

I'd really like to see the study that uncovered those numbers.
