I lived in the state of Wisconsin for fourteen years and believe me I seen what a neanderthal mentality is like. People like this fill the ranks of the tea party movement. They are racist to the core!! This is commonly known.

Newt Gingrich thinks stirring up a hornet's nest of racism is acting presidential.

No ones takes this idiot serious anymore.

Newt has no chance of getting the GOP presidential nomination.

Newt is auditioning for a talk show on Fox news.

Trying to cash in on the hate slinging for dumb fox bigots.

You want to be helpful disprove my points not dismiss because of source,

Says “there are signs” in your first link. You left that out of you quote. I find that disturbing and adds doubt to article. I’ll wait for more evidence. Doesn’t sound right.

Radical liberals want to do weird stuff as well. So your point is what ?

I find this more interesting:

I looked up rating for Fox and came across this first. FNC July 16 was at least 3 times higher in all covered except one, which was just a little more than 2 times compared to CNN. No wonder Fox is most hated by liberals.

Natural this link is worthless. So Steve will provide a valid one am sure.

Beck # 1 that day by 4 to 1 over CNN. O’Reilly near 7 times over CNN for that time slot. Give people what they want and they watch.

Drinking tea not Koolade.

“Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer”

“Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign.”

Now the Tea Parties want to repeal the seventeenth amendment that allows us to directly elect our US senators instead of having them elected by the various state legislators.

"The "Repeal The 17th" movement is a vocal part of the overall tea party structure. Supporters of the plan say that ending the public vote for Senators would give the states more power to protect their own interests in Washington (and of course, give all of us "more liberty" in the process.) As their process of "vetting" candidates, some tea party groups have required candidates to weigh in on the idea of repeal in questionnaires. And that's where the trouble starts."

"The Seventeenth Amendment calls for the direct election of senators, rather than having the states appoint them. Radical states-rights tea partiers want to take that right away from the people and have state governments appoint its national senators. That is quite bizarre, given that these are people who claim the want less government and more individual freedom. And some Republican candidates who tried to suck up to tea partiers by signaling that they favor the “Repeal The 17th” movement, are now walking back those views."

Thought you might like to hear from this tea party backer who wants to run for NH state house;

Ryan Murdough, a Republican candidate for State House in New Hampshire, says he “stands for the interest of white Americans.” (h/t Think Progress)

For far too long white Americans have been told that diversity is something beneficial to their existence. Statistics prove that the opposite is true. New Hampshire residents must seek to preserve their racial identity if we want future generations to have to possibility to live in such a great state. Affirmative action, illegal and legal non-white immigration, anti-white public school systems, and an anti-white media have done much damage to the United States of America and especially New Hampshire. It is time for white people in New Hampshire and across the country to take a stand. We are only 8 percent of the world’s population and we need our own homeland, just like any other non-white group of people deserve their own homeland.

Murdough is running as a Republican, only because it’s easier to get on the ballot that way, but has been disowned by the Republican Party. However, he says “the tea party movement is doing great things.”

Mitchell said “Mine obviously worthless junk. No need to even dispute.”. So his links are worthless junk as well. Know he was not quoting me because there was no “ ” in his comment. I feel your pain Mitchell. Mitchell say I am a “old-timer”. Guess he broke into my web cam to discover my age. Is 39 a “old-timer” ? Then he says I’m white. Mitchell is smart figuring this stuff out.

Steve gives me APPROVED CONSERSATIVE SITE. Such cooperation. Should simple give him my email address and let him write for me.

Panthers outside a “majority-black precinct that had voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in previous elections -- not a prime spot for intimidating white voters.” from http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/14/AR2010071405880.html so why make big deal of this. Makes display of weapons acceptable ? Naturally I got it wrong.

Not seen racist being used against tea party today but then Biden said he and obama say we are basically not racist. How nice of them.

I don’t take these two very serious. They remind me of fric & frac or dumb & dumber. You can only have so much fun with them before it is boring. They will be in the last 20% of supporters for obama‘s administration. Likely to go down with the ship with their captain claiming to the end they will not drown.

Bill, don't feel defeated. There seems to be no end to tea party front group websites. They will confirm all your beliefs. If you want credible conservative sites try CATO, Hoover Institute, AEI, Rand Corp.

Mine obviously worthless junk. No need to even dispute.

Yep, you are absolutely correct old-timer!

Mitchell of NC 6:55PM July 19, 2010

If God himself was my link I could not prove anything against your superfluity interpretations.. I have resigned myself to that fact. What a pathetic life I must now endure. Next time you see a broken figure of a man along the high way picking up cans to sell that might be me.

Keep using yahoo answer & media matters links destroying other people's lives. Such stellar resources. Only the best for Steve. Mine obviously worthless junk. No need to even dispute.

Your legions of followers singing your praises only strengthens your path to immorality. Oh hail king Steve !

Is good ???

First of all, all FOX News has been doing is race baiting the whole time. The story started in 2008. The Bush Administration was in charge then; apparently, they didn't think it warranted any attention and neither did Fox News until Obama came into office. Then FOX started to scare white people with the New Black Panther imagery. How interesting. FOX is obviously politically motivated and so are their tea party allies;

"But when it comes to the investigation the Republican-dominated commission is now conducting into the Justice Department’s handling of an alleged incident of voter intimidation involving the New Black Panther Party – a controversy that has consumed conservative media in recent months – Thernstrom has made a dramatic break from her usual allies. ‘This doesn’t have to do with the Black Panthers, this has to do with their fantasies about how they could use this issue to topple the [Obama] administration,’ said Thernstrom, who said members of the commission voiced their political aims ‘in the initial discussions’ of the Panther case last year. ‘My fellow conservatives on the commission had this wild notion they could bring Eric Holder down and really damage the president,’ Thernstrom said in an interview with POLITICO."

http://www.oliverwillis.com/2010/07/16/conservative-on-us-civil-rights-commision-black-panther-case-is-about-getting-holder/

Commission member Abigail Thernstrom thinks the case over the two year old incident is a red herring designed to bring down Holder and Obama;

"If you want to criticize [Attorney General] Eric Holder, there are lots of grounds on which to criticize him," she said. "Why waste your breath on this one?" Thernstrom said that she did not find Adams's testimony convincing and that the facts of the case raised doubts in her mind, noting that the Black Panthers were standing in front of a majority-black precinct that had voted overwhelmingly for Democrats in previous elections -- not a prime spot for intimidating white voters.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/14/AR2010071405880.html

According to Politico's Ben Smith, "U.S. Civil Rights Commission vice chair Abigail Thernstrom, a Bush appointee, who says her conservative commission colleagues and the right-wing media have tried to use the story of alleged voter intimidation by the "New Black Panther Party" to "topple" the Obama administration."

http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/joan_walsh/politics/2010/07/16/conservative_slams_right_on_new_black_panther_lies

FOX is keeping the bogus story alive to create racist hysteria;

Six Fox News shows have discussed the phony New Black Panthers scandal during a total of 95 segments since Megyn Kelly's June 30 interview hyping the unsubstantiated allegations of right-wing activist J. Christian Adams. In all, these Fox shows have devoted more than eight hours of airtime to discussing the New Black Panthers.
