Hey Black Man, Aren’t You Uncomfortable Around Whitey?
I can't wait to get home, download my new podcasts for the day, and hear what Dennis Prager has to say about this story.
The insinuation from this "reporter" is, of course, that black people only really vote for liberal Democrats, so a black man at a Tea Party rally must be there by accident and afraid for his own safety among such racist, homophobic, xenophobic bigots.
I understand why a reporter like Kelly O'Donnell thinks the way she does. I just don't like it, and firmly believe that her mindset (i.e. all black people not only should be, but are, progressive liberals and supporters of bigger and bigger, unsustainable government) ought to wake some people up to the fact that it is the Left who is obsessed with race.
The Tea Party movement is all about fiscal responsibility, personal and national accountability, limited (Constitutional) government. It's sad that so many Americans (liberal Democrats and progressives) don't believe in those things; it's even more tragic that they resent those of us who do.

MSNBC and Kelly O’Donnell is a disgrace to herself for asking a question in that manner. Kelly seems to have a mean streak in her personality and this man was a recipient of her behavior. The gentleman answered with a show stopper:…..I am an American…! God bless him and pray for the inquisitor O’Donnell.

“These are my people!”
I was declined for an interview a few weeks ago because the reporter didn’t like that during the preliminary interview I wouldn’t call the Tea Party movement racist. After I challenged her to provide proof that Tea Partiers spat on black congressmen and shouted slurs–a challenge that if she could have met would have earned her $100,000 from Andrew Breitbart–she asked me how often I’m called an “Uncle Tom.”
I took it as a spiteful jab but didn’t reveal that. Instead, I told her that the people who would refer to me as an Uncle Tom are the same people who are too foolish to recognize that simply doing so is admitting that their ideas are inferior.
I’m convinced that the reporter, herself black, was so shocked that I unequivocally relegated race baiting to low-level thinking that she knew she wouldn’t get the story she wanted from me and decided instead not to follow up with another interview.
The media is a joke.
