Sarah Palin sets them right in a timely Facebook post. She endorsed Tim Scott, a black GOP candidate running against Strom Thurmond’s son in South Carolina, and he won easily, with heaps of Tea Party support. Her post notes:
On this subject, I can recommend the statement issued by a man I was proud to endorse, Tim Scott, the GOP candidate from South Carolina’s First Congressional District. Tim, poised to become the first African-American Republican Congressman from the former Confederacy since Reconstruction, is himself a sign of a hopeful, truly post-racial future for our country. It gives added meaning to his warning that “the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.”
Tim Scott said:
“I understand that the NAACP, at its annual conference in Kansas City, will vote today on a resolution condemning the Tea Party movement as “racist”. I believe that the NAACP is making a grave mistake in stereotyping a diverse group of Americans who care deeply about their country and who contribute their time, energy and resources to make a difference.”
“As I campaign in South Carolina, I participate in numerous events sponsored by the Tea Party, 9/12, Patriot, and other like-minded groups, and I have had the opportunity to get to know many of the men and women who make up these energetic grassroots organizations. Americans need to know that the Tea Party is a color-blind movement that has principled differences with many of the leaders in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans. Their aim is to support the strongest candidates – regardless of color or background – who will fight to return our country to its Constitutional roots of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets.”
Palin also endorsed Colonel Allen West, a hero in the eyes of the Tea Party crowd. Us Tea Party Patriots are color-blind; we just hate race-baiters who seek to divide rather than unite Americans.

although I am for Sarah Palin’s principles and with the tea partiers, I am afraid that our political front will be defeated by both left liberal and inner core GOP because these two corrupt fronts, as well as the mainstream media are well funded by the islamic religious movements. Look around everywhere in the United States. Muslims are now everywhere in the United States whose population are like mushrooms and rabbits. Islamic now is a forced in the west to be reckoned with. Islamic front will succeed in constructing a mosque at the NYC 911 sites because current US administration is leaning towards it. Sooner or later, Muslims and Africans will be the dominating force in the United States and in Europe while the Christians will be the minority one.

This is going to be an almighty battle over the Cordoba project to build a Mosque at ground zero. The American people oppose it, but, as you note, the Left and RINOs support it. Our task is to inform the American people of the people and organizations behind this project, and their ties to Islamic terrorism.
