The video below is something I’m about 99% sure you haven’t seen, and something I can’t wholeheartedly recommend. I wouldn’t have seen it myself, except I just happened to be channel surfing and caught the word “tea party” which stopped me long enough to catch the last half of this really important opinion piece.
It was delivered by none other than the noted MSNBC journalist, Keith Olberman.
To him, I say, “So what’s your point?” I honestly don’t get what you were trying to impart to us Tea Party types. Really. No kidding. I just don’t get it.
So, I went in search of his imperious comments and surely enough found it on the MSNBC website. I retrieved the code so you could, if you really have nothing better to do, view it as I did.
Among other things, Olberman asks us to look around at our next TeaParty rally and count the number of people who aren’t white.
To Olberman, I say, it is an inarguable fact that skin colors besides caucasian aren’t overly represented at TeaParty rallies. In this you are correct. But then I say, whose fault is this? Certainly not the fault of the people who are obviously white. The invitation to join with a TeaParty event is, the last time I checked, color blind.
There is no ethnic correctness test. There is no color guard at the door. Color, gayness, ethnicity, creed, or use of the Spanish language is NOT a factor in the belief systems of  TeaParty folks or a bar to the door of freedom.
All that matters is that when you choose to come, you come to advocate for conservative principles. All who come of like mind will be welcomed with open arms and glad embrace. More, even the merely curious are likewise welcomed and encouraged in the hope that they will find common cause.
I truly don’t get your point, Keith Olberman. The more I think about it, the more static I incur. Obviously what you said was heartfelt…
Unfortunately however, at the best, it came across as a lame attempt to fill time with high sounding, yet hollow philosophy. In actuality, it was disjointed prattle, laced with age old decayed cliche, silky insult, and race bombs. TeaParty folks don’t play that game.
