Biden: Tea Party isn’t racist - Yahoo! News
Expert from the article:
On Meet the Press this morning, Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican who is overseeing the Senate's re-election committee, said it's "slanderous" to accuse the Tea Party of racism. "There is no basis for it," he said.
But Cornyn pointedly dodged a question when asked if tea party movement Republican candidates like Rand Paul in Kentucky and Sharron Angle in Nevada that are "too extreme." "These are citizens who should not be demonized or marginalized," he said. "These are people who are concerned about the direction of the country."
My question: Why demonize President Barack Obama? He is a citizen concerned about the direction of the country and is making every effort to move the country in the right direction.
