Tea Party Express: Obama is “our half-white, racist President”

Mark Williams one of the leaders of the Tea Party Express and a conservative radio host sent out an e-mail to his associates where he called Obama, “our half-white, racist President”

TPMmuckraker obtained the e-mail sent last September by Mark Williams in which he was trying to respond to allegations of racism. Amazingly this right wing flame thrower didn’t even understand that he tried to defend the claim that he’s a racist, by calling the President of the United States “our half-white, racist President”.

Some Tea Party organizations know that the Tea Party Express is a GOP-affiliated AstroTurf operation that has nothing to do with grassroots Tea party members, but there are even more that have aligned themselves with the populist movement who have no clue.

And it is fake groups like the Tea Party Express that cause main stream America to think that the majority of those in the populist movement are racists as well as right wing extremists.

Robin Stublen, a Tea Party organizer who runs the Punta Gorda Tea Party in Florida, told The Huffington Post: "Mark Williams is not someone I would want being my spokesman. He comes off as an arrogant, self promoting, egotistical jerk. In politics, people like Mark Williams are a dime a dozen, even when you factor in inflation."

The Tea Party Express has logged thousands of miles on their bus and have appeared in many cities and towns across America where they help to perpetuate racism. Of course there are some other Tea Party groups that keep the racial hate alive. Maybe they got the idea from Mark Williams and the Tea Party Express at some of their stops along the highways and byways of America.

And this is not the first time Mark Williams used racism, racial overtones and hate towards President Barack Obama. Last September while on CNN (watch video here), Anderson Cooper called Mark Williams out and said to him “on your blog you call the President [Obama] an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief."

The Tea Party Express is supported by "Our Country Deserves Better PAC," it operates out of the Republican Strategy firm Russo Marsh. Their mission is to stir anti-government sentiment amongst the masses, promote protest rallies and drive a wedge into the fabric of our nation in order to get votes for the GOP.

There is a motto that dates back to the time of the American Revolution, “United We Stand, and Divided We Fall”, but groups like The Tea Party Express, right wing talking heads and even Republicans in Congress see it differently, their motto is, “Divide We Rule“.

And divided we are.

Those that want to divide America and keep us divided, are un-American, and they have no problem using Americans as cannon fodder to keep us divided.
