The ludicrous accusation that "Tea Partyers" are all about racism is going to catch up with the progressives leveling the accusation... and when our minorities catch on to the reality that they are being used as pawns... well... it isn't going to go well for the progressives.

As it goes with a fire backdraft... so shall it be with progressives....

Black conservative tea party backers take heat

ALBANY, N.Y. – They've been called Oreos, traitors and Uncle Toms, and are used to having to defend their values. Now black conservatives are really taking heat for their involvement in the mostly white tea party movement — and for having the audacity to oppose the policies of the nation's first black president.

"I've been told I hate myself. I've been called an Uncle Tom. I've been told I'm a spook at the door," said Timothy F. Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, a group of black conservatives who support free market principles and limited government....

.... Opponents have branded the tea party as a group of racists hiding behind economic concerns — and reports that some tea partyers were lobbing racist slurs at black congressmen during last month's heated health care vote give them ammunition.

But these black conservatives don't consider racism representative of the movement as a whole — or race a reason to support it.



Angela McGlowan, a black congressional candidate from Mississippi, said her tea party involvement is "not about a black or white issue."

"It's not even about Republican or Democrat, from my standpoint," she told The Associated Press. "All of us are taxed too much.".....

Do you think that "progressives" just might be feeling the heat yet?

It is nice... actually seeing a story like this coming from the Associated Press.
