Okay, now that is out of the way. Why are Democrats so hell bent on assigning a “racist” label to their political adversaries? The reason is because it is an effective political tool.In Adolf Hitler’s “War Propaganda,” volume 1, chapter 6 of Mein Kampf, it states, “But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in this world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.” In other words, isolate your target, pick a simple damning message and say it over and over again until people begin to believe it as truth.In fact, a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services described Hitler’s psychological profile as “His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.”When applying these propaganda tactics to Republicans and the Tea Party, the strategy of the Left, typified by the Democrat Party, the “Big Lie” suddenly becomes apparent. They’ve chosen their targets: Republicans, especially Tea Partiers. They’ve confine them to a few points: racists, bigots and homophobes. Enlist those with a soapbox to repeat them over and over: Hollywood.
In modern America, “propaganda” is generally spread through magazines, radio, television, film and the Internet. And the American audience tend to listen to those whom they trust. Short of a family member, friend or clergyman, trust is given mostly to those who are eagerly invited into our homes on a daily basis… film and television stars. It is a formula that works. Tommy Lee Jones tells us to invest with Ameriprise, we invest with Ameriprise. Ashton Kutcher tells us to buy a Nikon, we buy Nikon. Jennifer Hudson tells us to use Weight Watchers, we use Weight Watchers. And so on.
This, by no means, is a complete list, but some examples include:
Actress & Radio Show Host Janeane Garofalo (Criminal Minds, Air America)
Oscar Winning Actor Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby, Invictus)
Actor Alan Cummings (The Good Wife)
Actress & Comedienne Rachael Harris (The Hangover, Diary of a Wimpy Kid)
Actor & Comedian W. Kamau Bell (Comics Unleashed, KQEDs Spark, Filter on G4 )
Reality TV Star Ragan Fox (Big Brother 12)
Radio Show Personality Stephanie Miller (Air America) & Actress Nancy Giles (China Beach)
VO Artist DC Douglas (GEICO)
Robert Greenwald, Director & Producer (Xanadu, The Burning Bed, OutFoxed, Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price): “Tell the GOP: Apologize for your hate-spewing proxies in the Tea Party Patriots. It is not acceptable for you to build your party’s political fortunes by encouraging and defending bigotry and hatred among your supporters.”
Jim Miller, Director of Development (Bull Durham, Sling Blade): “As a gay American, what deeply saddened me was the non-response from Republican legislators when asked about this incident. When our government officials accept remarks that are derogatory to a portion of their citizenry, something is broken.”
Erikka Yancy, Actress and Studio Producer (The Watcher, ER, This Brave Nation): “It’s now and only now, when a person of color is in the Oval Office, that we start to see these self-righteous, dangerous, gun-toting racists spurred on by the Limbaughs and the Glenn Becks and the Sean Hannitys of the world come out and protest the evils of ‘big government.”
Axel Caballero, Producer (Cuéntame): “As a Latino I am outraged at the discriminatory language Tea Partiers use to further their political agenda, and the deafening silence from the Republican Party.”
And one video that seems to be removed from the Internet is of actor Jon Hamm (Mad Men) suggesting the Tea Party is racist on Bill Maher’s show, “That’s what it’s all sort of couched in … that’s the secret agenda.”
But are the Republican and the Tea Parties racist?
We do know that Leftists have infiltrated Tea Parties in the past with racist signs and took photos and video for the Internet. We do know that people who bring anything bigoted to a Tea Party rally are not welcomed, escorted out and asked to resign… because, apparently, racism is not tolerated in the Tea Party. We do know that Republicans have chosen a black man, Herman Cain, as their favorite Republican Presidential candidate in 2012 in a recent Florida Straw Poll (would the Democrats that controlled the KKK ever see a black man win a poll to be their top representative?). And we do know that Democrats are willing to do anything to maintain political power in America.
But let’s visit a Tea Party rally and see for ourselves…
George Orwell suggested in Nineteen Eighty-Four that propaganda was a necessary tool in order to maintain power and control the people. At one point he touched upon the cognitive dissonance experienced by those that end up believing what they are declaring, “To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed….”
If the racist label is to stick, then Democrats will have succeeded in their Hitleresque propaganda effort and America will have fallen into a world not too different than Orwell’s Oceania because the only thing racist about the Republican and Tea Parties are the accusations from the unhinged Democrats in Hollywood.

Another great article, Tim! Keep up the good work!
Been called n***** too many times while living in the south by people I’m pretty sure weren’t liberals. Could be wrong but I think not.
James, pretty sure those people were liberals. Liberals are the worst of the worst when it comes to racism. They’re the ones who judge you based on your skin color, not guys like me. Let me ask you this. Is it acceptable for black people to believe in low taxes, a strong military, to be pro-life, to believe that government should not play favorites? If so, then you’ll join me in standing up to white and black liberals who persist in referring to black Americans as Uncle Toms simply for holding certain views.
Tony, are you for real when you say that those that called me n*****s all those times back in the 80s and 90s were liberals? You really can’t be right? I lived in Clarke County Georgia. Not many “liberals” there at the time. Look it up!
It’s quite easy to throw out “incidents” like this and assign political philosophies to ransom people behind the anonymity of the comment section of a blog… nobody can get in a time machine and go back and see who it was that called you what you say you were called and where and why (who knows, maybe you weren’t so innocent yourself) and then go and investigate their voter registration and voting history… it can’t happen. So, we have to take what you say at face value (face value of comment sections on blogs… very low).
But I do know that we’ve sadly caught (using IP) an ardent Democrat on this website posing to be a Republican throwing around all kinds of racial pejoratives and slurs and making bigoted responses in order to further a political agenda and assign Republicans as racists. How are we to know what you say is true? You allege such incidents and we don’t have any proof to know what you say is true one way or the other. I am not saying it isn’t true — there are bigoted people in all political parties — but I think if you are to throw out a platitude like the one you did… it needs to be backed up with something… anything. Otherwise, it’s a statement worth the paper its written on (and notice its not written on paper).
James… do you accept the massive amount of racism that has existed in the Democrat Party throughout American history? Do you accept that the Republican Party has historically been the party of the black American? Simple questions… really. And if you think the Republican Party is no longer friendly to blacks in America now… why do you feel that way? Because we’d rather live in a color blind society? Because we want to see blacks (and all people regardless of race) off welfare, off food stamps and out of public housing?! Is that how the Democrats have turned people like you against people like us… to suggest blacks can’t make it themselves and therefore need these things?
FUN FACT #531… MLK was a registered Republican

Few do an autopsy better.
Suffer the courage of convictions. Can we replace the word “racist” with “patriotism’? Distance ourselves, for just a moment, from the nabobs of negativity.
Where, in all of these magnificent Blogs does one find answers instead of stern, harsh, brutal, even deserved critical analysis? Are we at that fork in the road without a map?
We excel at autopsies, analyzing the disease and failing to vigorously search for, an attribute of excellence, a “cure”. These are re-emerging core beliefs. “Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.” Abraham Lincoln
Do we call it the Tea Party, and struggle to diminish “it”. Call it “freedom” and ignore “it”. Call “it” patriotism and know “it” not. These Blogs are full, elegantly so, of what we are against…what are we for???
Eliminate Excessive Taxes – “Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.” -Calvin Coolidge. Eliminate the National Debt – “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” –Abraham Lincoln. Eliminate Deficit Spending -Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment”. Protect Free Markets – “That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.” –Abraham Lincoln. Abide by the Constitution of the United States – “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” -Abraham Lincoln. Promote Civic Responsibility – “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.” -Abraham Lincoln. Reduce the Overall Size of Government. Believe in the People – “Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.” “The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.” -Abraham Lincoln. Avoid the Pitfalls of Politics -“I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts.” -Abraham Lincoln. Maintain Local Independence – “This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.” -Abraham Lincoln
So few, so timid, so uncourageous, so unwilling to be unloved for telling the truth, those of us who will twist and torture reality to conform to any compromise for the sake of a “temporary” win!
Fight for “it”…for “it” is surely slipping away. Courage is not giving in to fear. Alas, beware “The people will save their government, if the government itself will allow them.” -Abraham Lincoln…who is this guy we quote but to whom we are so very, very tone deaf.
The TP is racist because they want smaller gov and lower taxes….minorities want bigger gov. and higher taxes to pay for their welfare, AFDC and all the other goodies they get from the gov.
I remember hearing Barry Farber on the radio about 20 years ago. Farber, a Jewish, conservative, white person, who marched with Dr. King had on a caller who self identified as a liberal. Not just a liberal but a really big liberal who had nothing but contempt for those racist republicans. This liberal continued that he was completely in favor of affirmative action (the topic of the moment) and that it was needed. When asked why by the host this liberal said that a typical black person was incapable of being successful in college without AA. Why? Their intellect had been bred out of them responded the liberal. What about hispanics? They have other problems. They can’t seem to do the work because it is hard said our liberal. What do you do with asians? They don’t need any help because they are just naturally students and learners. I almost thought this whole conversation was a put on but that was never Mr. Farber’s style. We got to look inside a caring, kind liberal racist.
The big problem on this website is that so many white people actually seem to care what leftists think of them.
Racism or no racism, white Americans have every right to defend and look out for their own interests, just as blacks, Hispanics, Jews, Muslims, gays, etc, do. And if blacks, or self-hating rich white liberals don’t like it, tough tit!
A photo from 2007 showing Obama with members of the new black panther party was recently released. Will white libewrals and blacks decry that blatant racism? I doubt it.
