“A Surge of Hate” reads the meta tag; “Hate: Antigovernment extremists are on the rise—and on the march” read the actual headline.
Yes, and if they succeed, they’ll…they’lll…make the government leave people alone and mind its own business! The horror!
As “Slublog” quips on Twitter, “Newsweek goes for broke.”
It’s a destination that’s well in sight for them. In the meantime, they might want to read this, and maybe pop a beta blocker or two along the way.
Update: As Jennifer Rubin writes on the Southern Republican Leadership Conference this weekend and its straw polls, “The media’s great obsession from the moment Obama took office was to identify the ‘leader’ of the Republican Party:
Was it Sarah Palin? Rush Limbaugh? The nonsensical game — for opposition parties rarely have a single standard bearer — was intended mostly to fuel the storyline of Republican disarray and dissension. With the pre-pre-campaign for 2012 underway, consisting mainly of book tours and Republican gatherings, the media is at it again. Ron Paul won a straw poll! Oooh, now Romney won one. What does it all mean? Very little actually. The tea-leaf reading is all a bit silly and very premature.
For once, the Republicans aren’t being sucked into the media narrative. This report explains that the GOP base is stubbornly refusing to select its nominee more than two years ahead of time.
And since there isn’t one clear leader of the GOP, and in particular, one clear leader of Tea Parties, and the media can’t designate a single Emmanuel Goldstein for the Two-Minute Hate, it’s forced, in Newsweek’s case, to effectively slander the 47 percent of Americans who didn’t vote for Obama, and didn’t buy into sweeping proclamations such as this from his supporters shortly after he took office.
And then wonder why their circulation numbers keep circling the drain.
But hey, the iPad will save them!
Update: Welcome Insta-readers! When you’re done exploring the rest the blog, you might want to check out John Hawkins, proprietor of Right Wing News. He has an extensively illustrated post titled, “Protest Sign Reminders: What The Liberal Rallies From The Bush Years Were Like”, with 22 photos from the era when dissent was truly patriotic and peaceful, calm, civilized and placid. Nothing but seersucker and Mint Juleps, for miles around.
“When your local left-wing MSM source starts trying to tell you that the Tea Parties are all radicals, John writes, “point ’em right here, to this post, and let them see what ‘radical’ really looks like.”
Update: Looking at the Left has a photo essay of their own: “The Teaparty Movement, The Democrat Party, Racism and Incitement.”
Which is yet another reminder to always bring your own video camera to protests both left and right.
Update: “I want to commend Boston’s progressive Left for the outstanding job they’re doing fighting the hate-mongering of Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers in advance of Wednesday’s rally on Boston Common.”
The Teaparty Movement, The Democrat Party, Racism and Incitement!How about “Redistributing” common sense and brotherly love?
Recent polls show that the Tea Party movement has bipartisan support. Despite a year-long stream of hate speech and lies from the mainstream media and Democrat officials, 63% of Americans say their views are closer to the Teaparty’s than to the President’s. The mainstream media, in lockstep with the Administration, has gone to the gutter in their effort to brand this important movement as a pack of howling racists.
Democrat leaders describe Teapartyers as Nazis, evil-mongers , racists, and un-American. In an attempt to provoke an ugly incident cynical Congressional Black Caucus members paraded on Capitol Hill in the midst of a Teaparty protest immediately before the vote on the healthcare bill. The MSM has endlessly reported that Teapartyers hurled the “n” word at congressmen. There exists no photo or sound-bite evidence despite the sea of cameras present at the time. Now Marinated-in-Marxism Democrats and supporters have posted plans to impersonate patriots to infiltrate and disrupt Teapartys on April 15th including the mega rally in DC which is the finale for the Tea Party Express. Incitement is what the anti-Teaparty hate campaign is all about and that is a not acceptable in a civil society. Having Agent Provocateurs performing for the Democrat party media machine is anti-democratic and dangerous. With SEIU union boss Andy Stern the most frequent visitor to Obama’s Oval Office, it came as no surprise to see union goons confronting Tea Partiers in the streets last summer. In a fashion common in third world dictatorships, unionized workers intimidated Tea Partiers in cities across America.
Kenneth Gladney. at a Teaparty Express II event in Denver This White House-directed thuggery culminated in the beating and hospitalization of Kenneth Gladney. Andy Stern’s S.E.I.U. thugs didn’t approve of a black man peddling patriotic products at a townhall protest, so they beat the hell out of him while calling him a “nigger”. Months later, Eric Holder, United States Attorney General, saw fit to make sure assault charges were dropped against the Obama race enforcers just as in the Black Panther voter intimidation case! Americans recognize this type of activity as that normally seen initiated by anti-democratic regimes like that of the Castros, Chavezes and Mugabes of the world. In Cuba they are called Repudiation agents. This comes at the same time that the Castros are preparing to send out the mobs against dissenters and bloggers in Cuba. I am primarily a photographer, and have documented the Teaparties for the historical record. I have met many in the movement as well as members of the Express. They are wonderful people. One such person is Lloyd Marcus.
Marcus and grandparents of the first USN Seal killed in Iraq, Marc Lee I first met Lloyd Marcus in 2008. He told me about his life, and how living in the first government housing projects impacted his family and the black community there. It was the story of how big government’s attempt to eradicate poverty collided with the 1960s narco-sexual liberation movement to create a disastrous nightmare for black families. Lloyd escaped the fate of many of his cousins whose lives were lost or ruined by 60s liberalism’s faulty doctrines. He shrugged off what he calls the “victim mindset instilled by liberals” and forged his own way as a free man living a conservative life of common sense and brotherly love. Here is what I posted about Lloyd in ‘08:
As an survivor of the left’s “cultural revolution”, and a veteran of the Tea Party movement, he has become a leading voice for resistance to Barack Obama’s attempt to build a greater socialist utopia and “change America” forever. 
Lloyd Marcus
Political activism is a sacred way of life for liberal/socialists and radicals, and for decades they have poured their souls into tearing down America and fabricating a Euro-style welfare state. For the loud, lewd left, dissent has always been trumpeted as the greatest virtue in America. “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism” signs were all the rage up till about a year and a half ago. Now, with the election of America’s most radical leftist senator to the presidency, dissent is no longer patriotic. It is now called racism. Working together with Mark Williams and the artists and activists who make up the Tea Party Express, Lloyd has been witness to the explosion of opposition to runaway fiscal and legislative corruption in Washington. The liberal utopians have been destroying whole communities and cities and industries for decades, and now the bill has come due. America is broke. Those who dare stand up and protest the disaster are now heretics in the the new religion of the American left: Statism.
Mark Williams addresses the Denver rally on the steps of the state capitol. By calling for limited government and fiscal responsibility, Teaparty activists like Mark Williams have frightened America’s leftist elite in the Democrat party and the liberal media. Between 80 and 90 percent of all journalists, bureau chiefs and editors have voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1964. The Obama administration attacks any media outlet that is critical of the administration. The government plans to expand party control of radio and the internet. To say that one party’s overwhelming domination of the media is an unhealthy reality for a democratic nation is an understatement. The race-baiting attack on Mark Williams in this interview with MSNBC anchorman anger-man Dylan Ratigan illustrates the sickness of hate that now typifies the mainstream media. – Please watch video. Lloyd Marcus responds: As a black proud Tea Party patriot, I am extremely offended by MSNBC’ host Dylan Ratigan’s baseless accusation that the Tea Party Movement (my white brother and sister fellow patriots) embraces Nazis and racists. Ratigan’s attack epitomizes the liberal media’s commitment to protect Obama and his radical agenda at all costs. They have a genuine disdain for freedom, capitalism and We The People. No tactic is too low. Ratigan outrageously to portrays the Tea Party Express bus tour as a far right hate group supportive of the killing of blacks and Jews. Well then, what the heck am I doing on the bus? Did I miss the “People We Hate” memo? Or perhaps, the organizers hid that memo from me and other blacks on the tour. Left wing fanatics such as Ratigan have no shame. Incredibly they will throw the innocent Tea Party patriots under the bus in defense of Obama and his far left radical agenda. I have traveled across America twice, on Tea Party Express tours one and two. It truly angers me to see the wonderful, hard working, decent and color-blind white patriots whom I have met at the tea parties trashed, called Nazis and racists simply because they oppose the out-of-control Obama administration. Ironically, the true character of the tea parties is the opposite of the media’s portrayal of them. In Texas, a white cowboy at a tea party approached me pushing a stroller with two black babies he and his wife who is also white recently adopted from Africa. The cowboy said they asked God to give them babies who needed their love the most. The excited dad proudly proclaimed, “Next week they will become U.S. citizens.”
At a number of tea parties across America, I saw signs which read, “Lloyd Marcus for President!” But how could this be? Jeannine Garafolo said the tea party movement is really about white racists not wanting a black president. The greatest proof the tea parties are not racist is the overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic response to my signature opening comment. “Hello my fellow patriots. I am not an African-American! I am Lloyd Marcus, AMERICAN!” The crowds go wild with cheers and even some tears. These patriots flock to me expressing great gratitude for my stand not to be hyphenated. Countless times I have heard, “Hyphenating divides us. We wish to be Americans.” So there you have it, Mr. Ratigan. Do these people sound like an angry racist, hate-filled mob supportive of the killing of blacks and Jews? I submit that you know they are not. You sir, are an evil man willing to demean the character of millions of true patriots to prop up your American idol, Barack Hussein Obama. Accusations of the tea parties being racist are absurd. And yet, the liberal media is relentless in their attempts to sell their shameful lie. Liberals like Ratigan could care less about the devastating effect that fueling the flames of racial hatred is having on American race relations. Folks, I take the liberal media’s accusation of racism against my fellow patriots who are white extremely personal. We patriots share a kinship through our love for our country. We are family. And you don’t allow people to dis your family. For me, the rallies are family reunions.
At our St. George, Utah rally, I felt a new level of love and concern for our country. There were numerous veterans, some from as far back as Korea expressing their displeasure with the radical changes taking place in our country. Grandmothers, a few using walkers, have been following our tour since the kick-off rally in Searchlight, NV. Young parents with new born babies in arms, baby-boomers fearful about the future of their grand kids and teenagers all thanked our multiracial Tea Party Express team for our efforts to restore America. I posed for numerous pictures and signed autographs. As a black patriot, I have never felt a racist atmosphere nor a hint of violence. Yes, attendees are The media is littered with articles and news stories about the alleged “n” word incident in Washington DC. Black democrats claim they were called the “n” word fifteen times by a bunch of angry white tea party activists. I believe the accusation is a lie. First of all, in our high tech everyone has a cellphone video camera age, video of the incident would be posted everywhere if the incident really happened. Also, as I said, I have attended over 100 tea parties. I know my fellow patriots. If a knucklehead yelled the “n” word, the crowd would have immediately verbally attacked the idiot. This accusation is another sleazy divisive attempt by an arrogant bunch of characterless democrat race exploiters and their homeys in the liberal mainstream media to dis millions of patriots who refused to sheepishly surrender our freedom, liberty and culture to their beloved messiah, Obama. And another thing, after passing Obamacare against our will via corrupt backdoor deals, why on earth should we believe anything the democrats say regarding racist comments and threats made against them? They lie! They are characterless. They are undeserving of our respect and any benefit of the doubt.
All of the news stories which accuse the tea party patriots of racism are written based on hear say by agenda driven reporters who have never attended a tea party. I am a black man who has been firmly embedded in the tea party movement since it’s beginning. I am so sick of writing about this tired, silly and baseless accusation (racism in the tea party movement). However, the liberal mainstream media is relentless in their refusal to let it go. They have sold their souls in support of Obama’s transformation of America. As I told the crowd today in St. George, Utah, “Folks, this is serious business. Our country is in serious trouble”. I can not and will not allow the liberal mainstream media and democrat’s evil accusations and lies against my fine white brothers and sisters in the tea party movement to go unchallenged.
Someone informed me the left-wing Huffington Post blog trashed me for my proclaiming at Tea Parties that I’m an American rather than a hyphenated African-American. Perhaps, one of the left wing blogs inspired the hate emails I have received. They call me everything from an idiot to an MF-ing stupid “N” word. Why does simply calling myself an American inspire such anger and rage from the left? And yet, the media lauds the left for their tolerance and compassion. The left attempts to brand us Tea Party patriots as haters, while in reality they are the ones spewing hate from deep within their souls. Since I began traveling with the Tea Party Express, (over a hundred rallies), I have been surrounded by great Americans who love their country and simply do not want to see it transformed into Europe. Lloyd Marcus signs his book and his CD for an admirer in Colorado.
This photo shows some of the Teaparty Express gang together in St George. Utah. On fer left is David Saucedo, a.k.a. Polatik, a new addition to the troupe. David is from Waco, Texas, where in his words he “grew up in places that big government socialist programs affected most.” His parents lived on the wrong side of the law, and that environment landed him for years in one of Texas’s toughest prisons. His story is one of redemption. In prison he became an avid reader which led him to new insights that changed his life.
David’s main purpose, as he sees it, is his mission to inspire young kids to think big and to live their dreams and to avoid the trouble that plagued his life at such an early stage. David is a volunteer for, and strong supporter of, Right Track Ministries. Right Track Ministries has formed an elective before-school program at several local middle schools. This program coaches kids on realizing their dreams, their potentials, and setting realistic action plans to accomplish their dreams. The Dare to Dream Program teaches kids many simple messages, such as David’s message for children that “your dreams belong to you, and no one but you can accomplish them.” These middle schoolers often dream to become teachers, firemen, and police officers, as well as NBA stars and mainstream rap artists. David says that the Dare to Dream Program teaches the fundamental business skills of goal setting and creating action plans to obtain those goals. He says that the Dare to Dream program makes sure to help the kids understand that it’s important to have a back up dream if the kids dream has to do with sports or entertainment. “We’re big on reality. We have to let the youth know that in real life you don’t see many 50 year old rappers or sports figures. You have to plan a dream to fall back on.” “Pretty soon,” he says, “these kids will be in high school and growing up. They need to be involved, informed, and mature. We need to allow young people to be positive role models in their schools.”
David Saucedo waits to go onstage with kids he recruited in St. George. David tells how a chance encounter with a Tea Party in Waco, Texas, eight months ago was responsible for “waking me up.” “When I met those Tea Party people, they encouraged me to read the Constitution. They encouraged me to read the Declaration of Independence, which I fell in love with, and they encouraged me to learn about big government programs, socialist programs, and how they put their foot on the neck of United States citizens. Now the mainstream media wants to call you racists, wants to say if you’re part of the Tea Party, you’re a part of an angry mob…They are trying to marginalize this movement.” Enjoy this beautiful video, turn the volume way up, and hear the rap song that had the people in Utah cheering! They call us extreme Fiscally responsible, that’s the Tea Party There’s a Tea Party movement Lies, don’t believe liberal spin But wait, some didn’t like the cause So the people combined What happened is a sleeping giant chose to wake up Fiscally responsible, that’s the Tea Party
So the WTP Grass roots We’re calling out the waste We turned interstates into campaign revolution They know that their lies cannot penetrate the truth Let liberty prevail Fiscally responsible, that’s the Tea Party
Politicians and their lies Voting for our freedoms Now they’re telling us to flex We’re actually only Overconfident, So what’s the Tea Party? We are the people We fly the flag high Fiscally responsible, that’s the Tea Party
Here, David Saucedo speaks to CNN Television news producer Shannon Travis. I heard David ask him to be sure to do a fair report. In an article titled “What really happens at Tea Party rallies” Mr. Travis did report fairly, although he did echo uncritically in his article the baseless accusations of the Congressional Black Caucus members. Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC on the other hand isn’t even qualified to sharpen Shannon Travis’s pencils. – Excerpts below.
If Mr. Travis had attended as a citizen with a Teaparty sign rather than as a newsman, he might have had the same experience as black blogger Bob Parks: “My son and I went to the two large protests in Washington, D.C. and the only names I was called was my own as I ran into many people who knew me and assaulted me with hugs and poses for pictures.” As a Canadian observer, I have long noted that many Democrats seem to hurl charges of racism as casually as talking about the weather. This is part of the technique with which they have “rebranded” their party. At the same time (since the ’60s) Democrats have worked hard to rebrand the party of Lincoln as the new home of racism. Dems and their allies in the press have successfully scrubbed America’s collective memory of the long racist history of their party. Black and Right blogger, Bob Parks has an article detailing that history, starting with this whopper of a lie on the Dems’ own website: “Democrats are unwavering in our support of equal opportunity for all Americans. That’s why we’ve worked to pass every one of our nation’s Civil Rights laws… On every civil rights issue, Democrats have led the fight.” Here are just a few points from Bob Parks’s article:
I’ll skip 100 years of Bob’s racist terror history and go to modern times:
Their branding the Teaparty as racist is only another Orwellian chapter in the Democrat Party’s own long history of racism. I have always been puzzled how the party that created the KKK as its terrorist wing could attract any black voters at all.
William and Selena Owens tour with the Tea Party Express. Mr. Owens is the author of Obama: Why Black America Should Have Doubts. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and former U.S. congresswoman from Georgia wrote the forward to his book. Mrs. Owens wrote The Power Within a Conservative Woman. They speak about their faith and the importance of strong marriages and family values.

The Tea Party Express will arrive in Boston for a mega-rally with Sarah Palin on April 14th. The tour concludes on April 15th in Washington, D.C. with a massive Tax Day rally within view of the White House. Come see and hear for yourself the common sense and brotherly love that is central to the Tea Party movement. The music is great, and the goal is a free and strong America.
Below are links to El Marco’s previous photo-essays which chronicle the history of the Tea Party movement.
The incomparable blogger Zombie did a comparison of my Searchlight Teaparty photos and photos from a leftist “anti-war” rally which occurred 7 days prior in Los Angeles. The contrast between Teaparty patriots and the leftists is a scandal. Prepared for a shock? – Click HERE
