And Grayson is innocent here? He didn’t just point out the bigotry of the Tea Party. He used the very same cross-burning image with hooded KKK people in the background. For a fucking fundraiser.

If the Tea Party doesn’t want to be associated with racist imagery, then maybe they should cut out the racism. This isn’t comparing Obamacare to slavery. It’s pointing out that the Tea Party employs overt and subtle racism by comparing the Tea Party to a symbol of American racism. I don’t get the heartburn for drawing that parallel.

Or to ask it this way…what should he have done? Just ignore the racism altogether?
