The Progressives have been claiming that the Tea Party rallies are filled with racist signs. As a person who has attended several, I knew this was bogus. Far Left propaganda outlets like MSNBC, CNN, Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Think Progress and Little Green Footballs have displayed cherry picked signs to prove their allegations. Well a new study debunks this propaganda and reveals what many of us who attend the rallies already knew. It’s a protest against Tranzi Totalitarian Progressive policies of the Obama regime.

A new analysis of political signs displayed at a tea party rally in Washington last month reveals that the vast majority of activists expressed narrow concerns about the government’s economic and spending policies and steered clear of the racially charged anti-Obama messages that have helped define some media coverage of such events.

Ekins photographed about 250 signs, and more than half of those she saw reflected a “limited government ethos,” she found – touching on such topics as the role of government, liberty, taxes, spending, deficit and concern about socialism. Examples ranged from the simple message “$top the $pending” scrawled in black-marker block letters to more elaborate drawings of bar charts, stop signs and one poster with the slogan “Socialism is Legal Theft” and a stick-figure socialist pointing a gun at the head of a taxpayer.

Ekins’s conclusion is not that the racially charged messages are unimportant but that media coverage of tea party rallies over the past year have focused so heavily on the more controversial signs that it has contributed to the perception that such content dominates the tea party movement more than it actually does.

The Progressive propaganda media’s lies have been exposed yet again. Americans are no longer believing the nonsense spewed by the Press. Their lies about global warming, the Obama boom/recovery and Islam have all been exposed. Now the lies about Tea Party racism have been revealed.

Don’t expect a certain washed up Jazz guitarist to retract any of his lies!
