The “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s former pastor and mentor, told a Martin Luther King Jr. Day crowd that the Tea Party is – wait for it – racist. What an original thought. “[O]ne branch of the Tea Party,” he said, is “nothing but a 2.0 upgrade of the lynch mobs … with some folks doing everything they can to get that black man out of their White House.” Well, we confess to having done everything we could to get Obama out of the White House, but rest assured our opposition has nothing to do with race. He is half white after all. The Tea Party exists to oppose Obama’s socialist agenda and to promote traditional American values.
