Did Chris Hayes Really Connect Tea Party to the Klu Klux Klan Last Night?
(http://static01.mediaite.com/med/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Screen-Shot-2013-10-24-at-9.51.42-AM-650x348.png)
We’ve got an awful lot of reader emails practically begging us to take a look at a particular segment of Wednesday evening’s All In on MSNBC. According to these Mediaite tipsters, Chris Hayes subtly implied a connection between the “tea party†element of the GOP and the Klu Klux Klan.
Showing Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio‘s faces plastered onto “King†playing cards, these readers suggested Hayes was spelling out “KKK†while discussing how potential GOP candidates such as these three will have to play to an “insatiable†base while appeasing the wealthier interests that run the party.

It seems as though the “king†was chosen because that’s the male-centric high card. It might’ve been odd to call them “aces,†and perhaps a bit too obvious (even for a liberal network) to call them “jokers.†(Also, there are usually only two jokers in a deck. Am I reading way too far into this already?)

6. Doubtful. The Klan is more honest about their goals.
Comparing the Tea Party to the Klan would be elevating them.

Yet of course it is conservatives that are full of hate. :whatever:
