Tea Party is like the KKK

For the past two years, there has been a controversy about whether to allow the Tea Party to march in Ridgewood's 4th of July. Now the debate has gone national, with even more serious concerns voiced about the Tea Party's agenda and motives.

A U.S. Congressman is causing waves by saying the Tea Party is like the Klu Klux Klan in the way it promotes hate speech and bigotry among its members.

Can this be true? Does America permit this in the 21st century?

i would ask local readers to do their research. Here are examples of some of the many racist and bigoted signs displayed at Tea Party events:

Why does the Tea Party leadership refuse to denounce this bigotry and distance itself from these racists??
