Excerpt:

From time to time one professional politico or another may try to jump out in front of the parade. But everyone knows that the Tea Party has no leader, and with a little luck never will. That's because it's not a political party. In the best tradition of the American Revolution, it's an angry mob. Hence, the name.

MSNBC's Olbermann's Racial Smear Campaign

Olbermann Does the Tea Party Racial Smear
(Video edited to include fellow MSNBC hosts)


Response to Olbermann: 'People of color' at Tea Parties


The Point:

The point, expectedly, has been entirely missed by some. It isn’t that the Tea Parties aren’t racist because minorities attend them, it’s that the overwhelming majority of Tea Party members simply don’t care one iota for skin color. It’s an unremarkable attribute to a person. It’s neither here nor there. The issue at hand is government spending and politicians that won’t listen, not the shade of your epidermis.

"It is an aspect," he said, "and we take it seriously and use it." Kelly so believes in transparency that he produces an annual report that explains all the available data. One general concern he has is the state-wide drop in performance that occurs between in 7th and 8th grade and 11th grade.
