I'm pretty sure whatever credibility they're trying to establish for themselves now was destroyed indefinitely by the racism they sponsored from the beginning.

I know what you mean.

All I have to say Earl Grey and Lady Grey really know how to make tea, the former is so strong it should be considered an illegal substance. Do you prefer your tea with lemon or milk? I don't care for milk because it makes me tea look like coffee and I have to take a double take and think to meself: 'hhmm am I drinking tea or coffee?' You know I hate that when I think I'm drinking coffee and it turns out to be tea, it's like so cognitive dissonance when me taste buds and me mind are out of sink. Do you have a good recipe for scones? The ones I brought from the market are blueberry or cinnamon chips or chocolate chips and I often wonder is there better scones out there?

Yes, indubitably. *Sips tea, adjusts monocle*

I'll play the devil's advocate here... Do you think it's possible that the media took the racism that was exhibited by a few Tea Party members and blew it out of proportion? After all, the media tends to have a liberal slant (although to a lesser extent with CNN and BBC).

Oh for sure, I won't even argue that. But to me, when the majority (or at least a large sum) of a political movement's supporters are... questionable, on a race relations level - there's just damage there that's beyond repair. I don't think anybody will look at the Tea Party movement without those images of racism and cringe worthy "AMERICA!!" ignorant slogans.
