    Bizarre.

    Well, here's a news flash: pretty much everyone else on the planet does think so. Clearly the NYT is aimed at this demographic, and not at those in possession of reality-distorting devices.
    No not bizarre, I just don't follow slanted news sources. I know multiple Tea Party members and not one of them has a whiff of racism. I wanted to go to two Tea Party events but couldn't. I do not have a whiff of racism. I don't follow "news" agencies with agendas that are basically calling me a racist. Reality.

    Besides Obama, who is our only black president, what other US presidents have the Tea Party people spoken out against?

    I'd add Woodrow Wilson to the list myself.

    Suggesting that a movement has a whiff of racism does not imply that every single one of its members are racists. Your friends may simply be morons, who knows?
