Obama Backlash, Mass. Senate Race and Tea Baggers
So who is going to call what's going on in Massachusetts what it is?I will. Straight up racist, xenophobic nonsense from a minute sector of America who are opposed to the President, his efforts to reform health care and everything else.
While the voters of the commonwealth of Massachusetts prepare to give Ted Kennedy the ultimate slap in the face, no one is hitting back and calling them out for who they are. Racist, bigoted people who are determined to undermine our president. Where are all the white people who were screaming Change 2 years ago? What happened to the white liberal media who all but anointed Obama, and have now left him withering in the wind as his entire agenda is in jeopardy thanks to the Democratic party in Boston.
If we don't wake up fast people, we are in trouble and Barack will be in for one term. That's not progress, that's racism rearing it's ugly head. Get busy people!

You are right Karriem. One of the key issues is the fact that large news media outlets are dying and because advertising dollars are being shifted to online media. What does this have to do with Tea Party Republicans? Well... it's a story with drama. Polarizing stories sell papers and keep outlets like Fox alive. And as small and insignificant as the Tea Party was when the story initially broke, big media coverage of their story has helped them gain a significant foothold in numbers and they are gaining momentum as we speak. Obama has catalyzed his base using online media before now he needs to rally his base again using the same mediums. The support is out there people are very complacent until a group like the Tea Party emerge. I hesitate to call them all "racist" because we could easily fall into the trap of calling anyone who opposes Obama racist. Go after Glenn Beck with that label. In any case, maby a challenge like this will wake up Obama's online supporters.
