Is there any meaningful difference between the teabaggers and klanners?
 The wearing of sheets - or not - is not a meaningful difference.

The presence of a few non white people is not a significant difference.

I see as a BIG similarity the notion of "taking back my country". It is little different than seeing the country as a white nation.

Listening to clips from the SRLC tells me that the Southern Strategy is back.

1. Teabaggers are more devious.
 The Klan makes no bones about their hatred. The Tea Partiers are trying to disguise their hatred as patriotism/freedom/whatever. Other than that, they're the same.

So, an admission that they are accusing without evidence or proof.

13. I agree with this 1000% they are sneakier and hide their racism
 AND their prejudice against people who don't bow down to republicans.

 
Another one. 

.10% shows up again:

8.
They're immensely different from the Klan, as they're a deliberate product of Freedom Works & Fox News, who's purpose is to harass and distract the Liberal Majority from governance.

24. Stop it. This kind of bullshit is stupid.
 I don't like the knee jerk teabaggers much, if at all.
But comparing them to the Klan says worse things about you than it does about them.

35. Because it shows how desperate and ignorant you are to smear people
 The Tea Party group is generating support of people who are angry.
They;re losing their jobs. Their pensions. Their savings. Their homes. THeir health care.
Everything.

They are losing their security.
They are frightened and angry.

The sad thing is that the right wing is tapping into this very important development. Traditionally, these people should turn to Democrats. But the Democrats have been so busy licking the balls of the corporations that are causing Americans to lose their jobs, pensions, savings, homes and health care, that they aren't even trying to reach out to these people.

Sure, there are some racists among them. Sure there are a bunch of idiots who've been brainwashed by hate monger radio.

But any American in this day and age who joins the Klan is a completely different animal. Anyone who joins the Klan, IMO, is engaging in violence against society.

The Teabaggers are protesting. They aren't killing or threatening to kill. Some of them go to far. Just like people who go to protests I have joined. Sometimes, people go too far.

But don't confuse a protest movement with the Klan, simply because you disagree with them, politically.

And after that, the Captain is completely ignored.  Beth weighs in with a fashion comparison.

[The Village Idiot]

DU Topics Page>NOT REALLY> Debate

How the Teabaggers are like Hitler
How the teabaggers are like Stalin
How the Teabaggers are like Tojo
How the Teabaggers are like Dahmer
How the Teabaggers are like Hiroshima
How the Teabaggers are like Quisling
How the Teabaggers are like Mussolini
How......

Somehow they may never get around to actually dealing with the substance of the protests

He may be ignored response-wise, but you can bet there's a thousand greasy little nosepicking fingers battering the "alert" button right about now.

Undies: "I know!  I know!  Pick me!  Pick ME!!  I know the difference" (Waving arm madly in air)

Little Goon:  "OK, Undies, tell us the difference."

Undies:  "The KKK is an established arm of the democrat party.  The Tea Party Movement is a recent idea formed by normal Americans - conservatives - who love this nation and want the best for all people."

Little Goon: "Nuh-huh!"

Say WHAT?  I would think that even a single non-white is a huge difference.

The concept of "taking back my country" is the same thing the DUmmies where spitting out over the all of 2001-2008.  Does that mean they were being racist too?

[Tucker]

Undies has it right. The Klan were members of the democrat party.

Big difference between Tea party members and a Klavern of DUmmy's..

[miskie]

I'm going to be honest here -Stinky - you Democrats need to get a new trick.

You have been using the 'RACIST !!!11!!1' message since the Democratic primaries, and it has gotten old and tired. The irony is you Democrats have probably burnt the meaning of racist out, and like the tale of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, it no longer gets attention from anyone.

dandi hit the nail on the head re greasy little fingers.  Glad I saved it, though, at least.

36. And they're blaming the black president

Put your thinking cap on.

Funny, the only time I hear mention of Dear Leader's race is by the racist at Skin's island, like you just did hubs2.

The stupidity and ignorance of DUmmyville never ceases to amaze me.

Hey idiot, I'd be happy to wager you that the tea parties have a higher percentage of racial minorities than the DUmp does.

Get used to it...Wait until the 2012 elections.

Funny how the mods think they can make the movement go away just by deleting the post by Fading Captain up there.  Wonder how ostriches fare with their heads in the sand? 

BTW, other posts by FC have revealed him to be quite execreble.  A real DUmmie.  One of them.

That's right. His nationality and religion, both of which he's been desperate to conceal, are a lot more significant.
