i think it's really interesting that the same people who don't understand why the tea people come off as racist and threatening don't understand the double standard which would be applied if blacks were saying the same thing about a white president.
it would be equally racist. the difference is that everyone would acknowledge the implicit threat.
If a group that is over 90% African American, was the size of the Tea Party, carried around guns, and had good sized amounts of racism in the form of say the Black Panthers, it would be relentlessly bashed on USMB by those who laud the Tea Party currently.
Hell, look at the way they reacted to two Black Panthers. Now imagine if they believed there to be thousands of them marching in Washington? Or carrying guns outside a white President's rally? It'd be chaos.
