The Tea Party's Legacy of Racism

Published:

GlennBeck

"The American Right demeans racial minorities for playing the victim’s role, but today’s Tea Party is draped in 'victimhood,' claiming to be the target of an African-American president and feeling threatened by the nation’s demographic shift. But racist fears have always had a home on the Right, says Robert Parry."

"Among other falsehoods, these ill-informed Americans have been convinced that the key Framers of the Constitution – the likes of George Washington, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton – wanted a system of strong states’ rights and a weak federal government, when the truth is nearly the opposite. This fake history has, in turn, fueled an intense hatred of today’s federal 'guv-mint' as Tea Partiers fancy themselves the brave protectors of the Constitution."
