Quote of the Day

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

“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.”

— Mary Frances Berry,  former Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights.  Clearly she has a basic misunderstanding of the actual meaning of Civil Rights. Given that she was appointed by that idiot James Earl Carter III, this is hardly surprising.

Note that she freely admits there is no factual basis for her accusation of racism.  It is merely a tactic of the radical left to avoid discussion on their own failures.
