I meant to post this the other day...Alfonzo "Zo" Rachel responding to New York Times columnist Charles Blow's anti-Tea Party hit-piece, A Mighty Pale Tea. For those who somehow missed it, Blow went to the Dallas Tea Party and did what leftists do best -- eugenics. OK, not eugenics per se, though clearly Bow would like to breed a better Tea Partyer, just the every day racial head counting that's become so common on the left today they've stopped asking if there's anything wrong with it.

Finding an insufficient number of dark faces in the audience, but a disproportionate number on stage leading the show, Blow smears the Tea Party as, you guessed it, racist, while dismissing the performers, including Zo, as nothing more than a minstrel show. Disgraceful? Yes. Desperate? Definitely. It's difficult to make the case for a racist Tea Party when no one is saying anything actually racist and the minorities are disproportionately represented amongst those garnering the applause from the crowd. Instead you have to descend to the absolute lowest level...checking skin color.

Why doesn't the Times just issue their staff one of these to cart around to events?

Then they could just say, "The Tea Party was not beyond #FFFFFF (pure white) to #ECECEC. An acceptable standard is no less than #959595. We hereby declare this event scientifically racist." Just be done with it already.
