Chris Noth Unloads On GOP, Tea Party: 'Racist,' 'Un-American'

Chris Noth isn't just political on "The Good Wife."

The actor stopped by HuffPost Live Wednesday to discuss his work around hunger relief, and shared his thoughts on the Republican-controlled Congress with host Marc Lamont Hill.

Noth called today's legislative branch "the worst Congress since right before the Civil War" and explained why he sees "racist" undertones in the government shutdown and Birther claims and views the Tea Party as "un-American."

there is still racism. Chris Noth was correct in wondering if they really know why they dislike the president I am sure
there are those who don't understand or are not willing to be honest.
I believe that most of those people can not except someone of color being their president.
President Carter called this back in 2009 that the hatred for President Obama was racist.

up and down, left and right, until they're out of breath.

It's Obama's socialism or communism or secularism or Islamicism or radical black Christian church membership, or that Obama is different (different not because he's black, you know, of course, just different because of socialism/communism/etc)

and racists and religious fanatics that are a large minority in America, the more we can marginalize that faction who, before right wing radio and fox news, had always been on the crazy fringe. Let's send them back where they belong; speaking only to each other without a national platform.
if you have any right wing friends left on facebook or elsewhere, check out their celebrity and music "likes." Pretty short list. I know one whose celebrity list consists of Ted Nugent... oh yeah, and sista sarah.
