Tea Party Nation Is Totally Not Racist, Just Calls Obama 'Banama'

Tea Party Nation president Judson Phillips insists that for his group’s website, “racists [sic] comments is [sic] one of the fastest ways to be banned from the site.” But he had no problem today sending members a post referring to the president as “Banama,” drawing on the racist comparison of black people to monkeys.

W was depicted as a monkey quite regularly. We were called monkeys for acting like monkeys when we were kids. We know President Obama's not a monkey. We know we're not monkeys. We're apes. And we should laugh it off considering the source. W, I'm not so sure. I'd bet he still has a tail.

where were they before 1/20/2009 when the deficit and UE were actually going up, and when we actually had a President who disobeyed the law? They're either racists, political opportunists, or both.
