Teabagger writes "satirical" letter to LINCOLN, portraying Blacks in racist stereotypes

The Embarrassing Racist 'Satire' of Tea Party Leader Mark Williams


This week, the NAACP passed a resolution asking Tea Partiers to repudiate racists in their ranks. So, naturally, Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams called the NAACP racist on CNN, and then penned an idiotic racist letter on his blog.

Mark Williams! If that name sounds familiar, it's because he was the distinguished scholar who taught us all that Muslims worship a "monkey-god". Though he's no longer the chairman of the deep-pocketed, big-spending Tea Party Express, Williams still acts as a spokesman and "public face" for the organization.

On Thursday, in response to the NAACP's pretty tame resolution asking Tea Partiers to be a little less racist, he took to his blog and Tea Party Expressed the opinion that the real racists, in this situation, are the NAACP. Because they use the word "colored," see. Sigh.

And that's not all! Williams treated his readers his own little Tale of the Tub—a letter to President Lincoln from NAACP head Ben Jealous that starts thusly:... ....

(The whole "letter" is included in the link.)

4. Conservatroids have a 'tin ear' when it comes to their own racism
It's not just Williams, either. Their 'satire' falls flat, making them look even worse than if they'd just STFU.

18. They've got a tin ear when it comes to the racism of others, too.
As long as it lines up with their own.

I've heard many a person trot out statements like "I'm not a racist. I don't hate black people, I just hate criminals. It's not MY fault all black people are criminals." How the hell do you even respond to something like that? Logic certainly isn't going to work. Pointing out that they are bigoted imbeciles just makes them whine about persecution.

6. Most racists don't believe that they're racist
so it never occurs to them to not publicly display their racism. This makes it impossible to hide, and makes their denials all the more ludicrous since those denials blatantly display the racism they're denying.

7. Mark Williams is merely a Rush Limbaugh wannabe
One can only hope that his chickens come home to roost someday.

9. What are people like Williams and Limbaugh to do?
Surrounded by Blacks. Blacks to the left, Blacks to the right. Blacks in the White House, Blacks in golf, Blacks coaching sports teams, Blacks anchoring news. All excelling, prospering.

What's a bigot to do?

Give it up losers, the demographics have changed, and will never be the same again. Your rule is O-V-E-R.

Side note: Still laughing over the fact that Limbaugh couldn't buy a team. You KNOW that burns his fat ass. lol

12. Wow! I followed a few links and wound up at his blog.
This guy is a real piece of work. It's disgusting to see him defend his position on this.
