The latest campaign from Brave New Foundation focuses on the nastiest undercurrent to the tea party and right wing movements in this country: the racism. This video looks at some examples and offers a way for you to get involved in calling out racism when you see it.

Sadly I can’t name one republican who isn’t racist. The fact that America voted into office President Obama has driven them completely insane. Never in my life have I seen such behavior from people calling themselves Americans. They are full of hate and lies to the point that I believe it will cause the gop to dissolve in the near future.
Anyone who can’t see that Bush totally ruined the economy, lied to us in order to orchestrate his Iraq follies is blind. His regime was a failure like we have seldom seen. Bush and Cheney are war criminals. Worse than Sadam ever was. They have murdered over 4000 of our people.

Racism is deliberate. These people at the yuppy Tea Party do not know what they are talking about other than the spoon fed misinformation spewed from red neck FOXy spin doctors Nazies becktypes spreading hate to the dumb and dumber at the yuppy Tea Party while scaring the heck and intelligence out of them and vilefying Obama. One just needs to distance themselves like going to Canada, France, England, any Scandinavian country, etc,, to see just how socialistphobic and communistphobics these know nothings are in the land that thinks it’s free. Free of what? Blatant ignorance? Or maybe, the Tea Party is just full of…

“get involved in calling out racism when you see it.” from the above quote, well i see it and im calling it out…
The following, quoted mainly from Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky’s book, “Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel”, correctly reflects what most “Jews” actually believe about themselves as opposed to non-”Jews.” “The difference between a Jewish soul and the souls of non-Jews – all of them in all different levels – is greater and deeper than the difference between a human soul and the souls of cattle.” – Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the Elder. Yesaiah Tishbi, an authority on the Kabbalah who wrote in Hebrew, said, “It is plain that those prospects and the scheme [of salvation] are intended only for Jews.” Tishbi cited Rabbi Hayim Vital, the chief interpreter of Rabbi Luria, who wrote in his book, “Gales of Holiness”: “The Emanating Power, blessed be his name, wanted there to be some people on this low earth that would embody the four divine emanations. These people are the Jews, chosen to join together the four divine worlds here below.” Tishbi further cited Vital’s writings in emphasizing the Lurianic doctrine that non-Jews have satanic souls: “Souls of non-Jews come entirely from the female part of the satanic sphere. For this reason souls of non-Jews are called evil, not good, and are created without [divine] knowledge.” – Yesaiah Tishbi, “The Theory of Evil and the (Satanic) Sphere in Lurianic Cabbala” (1942, reprinted in 1982)A modern and influential expression of the attitudes derived above is evident in the teachings and writings of the late “Lubavitcher Rebbe,” Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who headed the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and wielded great influence among many religious Jews in Israel as well as in the United States. Schneerson and his Lubavitch followers are Haredim; nevertheless, they involved themselves in Israel’s political life and shared many concepts with Gush Emunim and the National Religious Party. The ideas of Rabbi Schneerson that appear below are taken from a book of his recorded messages to followers in Israel, titled “Gatherings of Conversations published in the Holy Land in 1965.” During the subsequent three decades of his life until his death [1994], Rabbi Schneerson remained consistent; he did not change any of the opinions. What Rabbi Schneerson taught either was or immediately became official, Lubovitch, Hassidic belief. Regarding the non-Jew the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s views were clear even if a bit disorderly: “In such a manner the Halacha, stipulated by the Talmud, showed that a non-Jew should be punished by death if he kills an embryo, even if the embryo is non-Jewish, while the Jew should not be, even if the embryo is Jewish. As we [the Talmudic sages] learn from Exodus 22:21, beginning with the words ‘and if any mischief will follow.’” “The difference between a Jewish and a non-Jewish person stems from the common expression: ‘Let us differentiate.’ Thus, we do not have a case of profound change in which a person is merely on a superior level. Rather, we have a case of ‘let us differentiate’ between totally different species. This is what needs to be said about the body: the body of a Jewish person is of a totally different quality from the body of [members] of all nations of the world.” Oh, there much, much more quotes from esteemed scholars of judaism, but whats the point, you should have a relative understanding of where they are coming from. So why doesn’t Mr. Robert Greenwald (btw, yes he is a Jew) do a viral video on the followers of this utmost racist lurianic cabbala organization. No, he systematically goes after the white middleclass (white chritian gentiles), it sorta reminds me of the targeting of the kulaks (white christian middleclass), with the eventual liquidation of them by the soviets in the 20′ and 30′s, don’t forget who were in charge then. (millions killed). It appears, to any respectible person, that Greenwald has his crosshaires targeted on the the american kulaks. only time will tell, if they can overcome the Greenwwald viral video infestation, and be alive and exist in the future or go the way of the russian kulak (liqidated) and become a footnote in the history books. I’ll be waiting for that video on the racist ideology of the cabbalism judism, Mr. Greenwald.

Every group of this size will have a few nuts if you are looking for them, which you are. The majority of this video contained people who are not happy with socialism/communism. Al Sharpton just said on Sunday that Obama stands for socialism (people who voted for him should have known that’s what they voted for). So it is now racist to state the obvious?
People will not be intimidated into staying quiet with the bogus race card or the disgusting teabag label.You’ve tried to play it for months and the tea parties just keep growing. How about trying to make an honest argument for your ideology instead?
