Teabag Racism Watch
Here we go again with Dale Robertson, the founder of teaparty.org who was photographed with a misspelled racist sign at a teabag protest in Houston.
Robertson made the Hatewatch page of the Southern Poverty Law Center today after he sent out a mass email attacking President Obama for traveling home to Chicago for Memorial Day: TeaParty.org Founder Labels Obama With Racial Terms.
Obama is going home to spend time with “his homies in the Chicago hood,” writes Robertson, who is white. The taxpayers will be footing the bill for the president to “bump and grind in the hood.” While he’s gone, Vice President Joseph Biden and his wife “will step into Obama’s sneakers” to lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Obama, meanwhile, will be “shooting hoops, smoking cigarettes and goofing-off with his homies.”
