Mark Williams, the flamethrower leading the battle against the Ground Zero mosque, was kicked out of the National Tea Party Federation Saturday for a racist blog post.

He shrugged off the diss, calling it "grandstanding" from a "***** player on the fringe."

A California radio host and leader of the Tea Party Express, Williams had labeled the Manhattan boro president a "Jewish Uncle Tom" and President Obama an "Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug."

But when he posted a satirical letter supposedly from "the Colored People" to President Lincoln praising slavery, that apparently crossed the line.



The federation, an umbrella organization that claims to represent 85 Tea Party groups, kicked out Williams' group when it wouldn't fire him.

"We have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," federation spokesman David Webb said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

He called the letter - written after the NAACP called on Tea Party leaders to oust racists from their ranks - "clearly offensive."

In the voice of slaves, Williams wrote: "Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever. We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house.

"We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!"

He went on to say blacks don't want taxes cut because "how will we Colored People ever get a wide screen TV in every room if non-coloreds get to keep what they earn?"





Seems some the tea party leaders get they have to address the racial bias exhibited by some of their supporters.You read this letter to Lincoln this guy wrote and it just makes the point that a lot of racism is in some of these people.
 
Ah, those wacky tea party guys! What will they do next!? :slidewhistle:

Hopefully, turkeys like that will become extinct very, very, very soon.
There is little doubt the Tea Party mentality will take over Congress after this election. There is also little doubt in my mind that it will take over come 2012. Hopefully, the American people will realize how acidic, divisive and damaging they are to this country by 2014 and 2016 rolls around, before any major damage is done.
 
So they kicked them out because they don't want to be associated with racism, be it satirical or serious.

I would think liberals would be happy that such an intolerant individual would be taken out without any problems and no ill will would be held against the Tea Party for making a responsible and sound decision in this matter. But.... go figure.
 
christ if they're elected in 2012 im going back to england
