Comparing the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan
Aside from referencing the historical Boston protest incident, I wasn't sure what the Tea Party movement was about until I started watching videos and reading articles by folks like Victoria Jackson (annoying yes, but makes some good points), Ben Shapiro (a political genius!), and the late Andrew Breitbart (a hothead on a noble path).
It seems most under that label just want to protect the freedoms originally written into the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, instead of having corrupt politicians make all their choices for them. I actually considered voting for Obama during his first campaign, until I saw a CNN report where he told a bunch of abortion advocates he "wouldn't stand in their way" if they supported his aim for the Presidency. I lost all respect for him after that, and all I've read and heard about him since has continued to lower my empathy for him. I don't hate the guy, but I can't stand the direction he and those who follow him are taking this country.

Shall we take a peak at what our bigoted friends over at StormFront have to share about their teabagging activities?
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t829686/
...It "should be" the job of each REAL White Nationalist to become a working,functioning member of every T Party in America-if at all possible. This is a "Golden Opportunity" to begin a direction that White Nationalism has never enjoyed ever before at any time. For the most part these people are white....I've joined so far three local Tea Party Groups locally and have been encouraging all my employees and friends and relatives to do the same. We have been very successful locally-state wide and have been contacted by several other states to help assist them too.I find that people are very easily influences when they learn that someone is actually helping them find a job,get a loan,move their families or get medical attention-just to name a few "things" that I have used as a carrot,rather than the "stick" of discontent,force and inciting racial confusion.People like to be helped and in turn they like to help others; and I make no secret just HOW,they can help me and that's simply to listen and consider my White Nationalist message for themselves.....and frankly it's been working like a charm for well over two years.These people have money,time and a hell of a lot of local influence and most aren't afraid to use it-all they need is a little encouragement,direction and leadership.
...Mixed-race government isn't working -- just as Thomas Jefferson predicted.
...I've been active in my local TP and serve on the leadership council which offers me a chance to work closely with local Gov't. officials and occasionally my district's Representatives to the House of Representatives in D.C..
....I've attended about 10 local T party meetings in the last year or so. The attendance has always been 95% plus white in my central Florida county which is 62% white. I've worn my "European Americans United" tee thirt there and given out a few Middle American News paper and parked my car in the lot with The Fourteen Words magnetic signs. About last April I spoke up....by saying if we didn't fix the border problem in 10 years our kids and grand kids would all be out voted at the polls. There were half a dozen "Yeah, that's right" remarks from the 35 attendees and no negative feed back to my comment....Go to a local T-party and just use the "anti-white" comment on affirmative action etc and be yourself. You are contagious.Clearly these people are all thinking about race. And these last two meetings were 100% white near as I could see, with probably 3 or 4 Jewish monitors of course. The attendance at the recent meeting was 64. All white retirees.
...Don't give yourself away. Covert activity is of utmost importance. Drawing attention to yourself by being a walking billboard will only damage credibility.
...Has any revolution been won by the oldest members of the population? In a few years their savings and 401ks are going to be wiped out (confiscated) and the obamacare death panels are waiting for us just in time. Younger people are very resistant to racial reality because of the intense and ubiquitous propaganda. They really can't wait till we're dead. The young people are not at the 'tea party' but at the OWS sit-ins which look to me to be predominately White but unfortunately they appear to love their colored comrades.
....I got about half the people to applaude my attack on legal immigration this week. Our t-party is middle class. These people don't look rich. After the meeting they practically swarmed my table to pick up free "Take Back America!! !" bumper stickers. I'm getting other stuff in their hands too. Our meetings appear to be 100% white in a county that is 65% white. Several Jewish infiltartors of course but that's every where. I also sold a copy of the whitekeronline.org "Mantra" last week.
...The Tea Party is a good thing for us to use, and a way to power. It's a great cover for us, and we can use them. We must be ready to infiltrate them. I see them as another branch of the GOP right now like some kind of minor league team, but that could change if we make it happen. We need to make our voices heard and if we cannot do that by a political means and the media well we all know there are other means when all else fails. Bring it on I say! The days of the AN and NSM being effective are gone its true. They've been totally infiltrated by agents of ZOG and nearly wiped out by the Southern Poverty Law Center that sued them to death. Still we must press on and never give up the fight. The world will one day again see the Triumph of our Will!
...There are WNists in the Tea Party and they are extremely smart to keep their mouths shut until they can get themselves into a position of power where they can then be the change they want to be.
Actually, most Ku Klux Klan members did not engage in criminal acts nor lynch negroes.
http://www.history.com/topics/ku-klux-klan
The Great Depression in the 1930s depleted the Klan's membership ranks, and the organization temporarily disbanded in 1944. The civil rights movement of the 1960s saw a surge of local Klan activity across the South, including the bombings, beatings and shootings of black and white activists. These actions, carried out in secret but apparently the work of local Klansmen, outraged the nation and helped win support for the civil rights cause. In 1965, President Lyndon Johnson delivered a speech publicly condemning the Klan and announcing the arrest of four Klansmen in connection with the murder of a white female civil rights worker in Alabama. The cases of Klan-related violence became more isolated in the decades to come, though fragmented groups became aligned with neo-Nazi or other right-wing extremist organizations from the 1970s onward. In the early 1990s, the Klan was estimated to have between 6,000 and 10,000 active members, mostly in the Deep South.
With 4 million members at their height, they couldn't have all been criminals. Moreover, if you look at one of their present websites

A. NO, As stated above we are a law abiding Christian Organization.
Like the present Tea Party, the Klan had a lot of political influence in the past:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Kl ... s_politics
...Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Hugo Black (Democrat). In 1921, Black successfully defended E. R. Stephenson in the sensationalistic trial for the murder of a Catholic priest Fr. James E. Coyle. He joined the Ku Klux Klan shortly after, thinking it necessary for his political career. Running for the Senate as the "people's" candidate, Black believed he needed the votes of Klan members
..United States Senator from Mississippi Theodore G. Bilbo (Democrat) revealed his membership in the Ku Klux Klan in an interview on the radio program Meet the Press. He said, "No man can leave the Klan. He takes an oath not to do that. Once a Ku Klux, always a Ku Klux.
http://www.history.com/this-day-in-hist ... a-governor
... In 1958, Wallace made his first bid for Alabama's gubernatorial seat. The NAACP endorsed him while the KKK endorsed his opponent in the primary. He was defeated by a wide margin. Four years later, Wallace had become a fiery segregationist and won election to the governor's office in a landslide victory. He promised "segregation forever"....
...In June 1963, under federal pressure, he was forced to end his literal blockade of the University of Alabama and allow the enrollment of African-American students. Despite his failures in slowing the accelerating civil rights movement in the South, Wallace became a national spokesman for resistance to racial change and in 1964 entered the race for the U.S. presidency. Although defeated in most Democratic presidential primaries he entered, his modest successes demonstrated the extent of popular backlash against integration....
Where the KKK seems to differ from the TeaBaggers is in the attitude towards Jews and Israel
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/t829686/
...It is our job to try to educate tea partiers to become pro-white gradually. If you start out by saying the Jews run the media and government they will ignore you and call you an unChristian anti-Semite or something.
...Most tea partiers are zionists, who have massive problems with taxing and putting that money back into the US for citizens, but will turn right back around and fight tooth and nail to tax the public in order send it off to Israel. How many millions per day go to Israel that could be funneled back into our system to help actual Americans?
...They will say Israel protects us from the Muslims.
...Or that Israel needs to survive, and protect itself from the muslims because its somewhere in the bible. Meanwhile we have people starving without jobs here, and people killing themselves because they cannot afford healthcare, when Israel has all of this free, on behalf of the US.
...They are realistic about certain things, i.e. that blacks are more prone to be criminals, less intelligent, etc., But if you bring up Israel: oh my, you might as well be a Muslim extremist (the thing that Tea Partiers hate the most). A lot of them are those kinds of people we like and dislike at the same time. They know racial differences that are in their face, yet they aren't smart enough or haven't had the chance yet to connect the dots that lead to a certain group of people (the Jews). I have found these people to be very rational, until you bring up the Jews or Israel. Then any progress you made with them is completely gone. They will turn on you in an instant to protect "God's Chosen People." Some have point blank told me that they would support Israel and the Jews even if they knew the Jews were fighting against them, simply because they are God's Chosen People.
The StormFront/KKK folks seem to maintain the old fashioned views that the holocaust never happened, that all Jews should be annihilated, and that Israel should be wiped off the face of the Earth.
The TeaBaggers, on the other hand, seem to have branched off from the KKK, largely over the Jewish question. For the past few decades, they've had preachers telling them that Hitler was God's agent for herding the Jews back to Israel, in preparation for the return of Jesus, and that Christians now have an urgent duty to love the Jews to death, and to support and protect Israel.
And, here is a quote for our Libertarian brethren

The tea party is Pro-Israel and Pro-Jewish today only because they tend to be overwhelmingly evangelicals who believe the modern interpretation of Revelations in which Israel represents the actual political state of Israel, and not the Christian church (as has been the mainstream belief of Christians from the very beginning). And as such, they believe in order for Christ to return, the Jewish state of Israel must be in existence. In other words, they are Pro-Zionist because they think they'll get something from God once Jesus comes back to initiate his thousand year rule.

I think he's right to look to the south for a tea party historical comparison seeing as the GOP is increasingly a regional southern party. But I'd go with the Confederacy before the KKK. They despise the federal government, despise the President and are resentful of northeastern elites who they believe look down on them. Add in a smattering of secession and rebellion talk from some tea leaders and.....well.... they are at least in the shoe store if not yet trying it on openly.
But most of them would need a little cardio work before marching North. A self-inflicted Bataan death march would not be pretty.
The Tea Party is decentralized bottom up movement, calling yourself a Tea Partier became very popular in the GOP the last few years so just because person A says they support the movement doesn't mean person B agrees with person A. Does that make sense? The Tea Party were the primary voice of dissent against war with Syria, something Israel desperately wanted. AIPAC has a much tighter grip the establishment of the two parties.
I'd say I sympathize at the very least with the Tea Party but am pretty far away from being an evangelical Israel worshiper. Certainly not anything like the KKK or Nazis or racist in anyway. People like to throw these hurtful characterizations around on here, do any of you people think I'm racist? Do I profess anything racist? It's a ridiculous accusation and done to silence dissent, that is the 'progressive' way.
