Slanderous" was the word used by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, to describe the NAACP's resolution on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"I think it's slanderous to suggest the vast movement of citizens who have gotten off the couch and showed up at town hall meetings and tea party events, somehow to smear them with this label, there's just no basis for it," Cornyn said.

1. He never ceases to be on the wrong side of everything.
Apologizing for racists is par for the course for those that are beholden to the Billionaire Class.





This guy isn't a racist...

Right. Sure. Whatever.

2. Is there even a remotely close percentage of a racial mix, to the national average of ALL races
within the Tea Party?

If so, prove it Cornyn.

If not, then STFU.

I would guess that the teabaggers are 99.9% Caucasian.
