| Yoo Hoo, Guys There are Jews in the T-Party. I am not one of them, but I know a few. ruveyn Yeah, but you still can't get into the Ku Klux Klan. Not yet, anyways.

| I'm not denying there are a lot of racists IN the Tea Party. There certainly are. However, I do not think racism is the driving factor for the Tea Party stance. Perhaps not THE driving factor, but it seems to be a significant undercurrent. The Birthers are the ones most obviously driven by racism. ... |

| The Nizkor Project is devoted to debunking Holocaust denial, such as the fact that not that many Jews died. I would not trust Soviet data either as they wanted Jews dead just as much as the Nazis, and would look to cover up the Holocaust as well. As a matter of fact, while the Nazis and Soviets wer... |
