Pelosi thinks she's in the TEA party?

Nancy Pelosi said she shares a lot of views with the TEA party.



She thinks the TEA party is violent


That it's astroturf.
That they're neo-Nazis.
That they're terrorists.
That they're secessionists.
That they're racists.
weekly standard

Well, this get's the gears grinding. Now I wouldn't want to impune Speaker Pelosi's integrity because she's clearly an intelligent, truthful, wise woman who wouldn't lie (I know I couldn't get through typing it with a straight face either). So, taking her at her word and accepting the fact that TEA party attendants are:astroturf, neo-Nazi, terrorist, secessionistst, racists with which Nacy "shares a lot of views" this leads me to a very important question. Which one is she?

Not all TEA Party activists are White Republicans



I went to a TEA (Taxed Enough Already) rally in Madison last summer. I went, largely, in order to protest Jim Doyle's "budget". For those of you who are unaware Jim Doyle is a white guy.

Why do I bring all these points up? Because so many other bloggers and media sources have been reporting TEA party activists as "monochromatic" and that's just not the case.

I had the pleasure of listening to one David King, black Democrat, who was also upset at the government largess and gave a speech. While this is a video from the Milwaukee party and not the Madison one, you get the point.
