I'm confused about the whole Tea Party thing.  I've never heard it suggested that Roof was Tea Party, only that he's a racist using racist symbols to broadcast his racism.  He's posing with the Confederate flag and burning the American (Union) one.  It's all pretty consistent, actually.  [/quote]

Exactly. I haven't seen a single post on DCUM suggesting that Roof was a Tea Party member and I certainly haven't suggested he was. But, the poster who brought up the Tea Party is the same one claiming that black activism provoked Roof and that Clementa Pinckney is just like Pam Geller. I don't think we can expect much in the way of coherence from her.

I have seen many posts on DCUM equating Tea Party members with racism. And many posts linking Republicans with racism. Yet it is not Republicans and Tea Party conservatives that burn the American flag. That seems the behavior of progressive activists.

And Jeff, didn't you argue that Geller's "draw Mohammed" contest provoked radical Muslims? I believe you did. See, that's the thing with people like Roof and radicals; they see activism differently than you and I, and it elicits a response, often a heinous one. So Pinckney's activism - and other black activism is seen as a declaration of war to someone like Roof. Does that mean Pinckney and Geller should shut it? Does that mean they should be aware of those that would seek to shut them up? Definitely. Would I have liked to have seen Pinckney better protected?  Most definitely.

You seem to be implying that I agree with Roof's actions. I most certainly do not - and given you seem to have the ability to know what I've said in various posts, you are well aware of how I feel about Roof's crime. I truly don't understand why you would behave like that.

The fact that you have seen unrelated posts on DCUM hardly explains your point. Nobody has said that Roof was a Tea Partier. No amount of unrelated posts will change that. The fact that you can't distinguish between Pickney and Geller is not worth addressing. [/quote]

Nobody HAS to suggest it. It's clear how progressives on this site. think re: southerners, republicans and conservatives. Here, Tea Party = racist.  The fact you cannot see that Pickney didn't have to die, nor did the others, is distressing. HRC had protection. Sharpton has protection.
