[Peace-discuss] tea parties miss the boat

[E. Wayne Johnson]

/"A lot of coded racism plays into this nowadays, too: anti-welfare 
"queen" ideology a la Ronnie "Rayguns" Reagan, etc. On a very important 
institutional level this is a familiar "divide and conquer" politics of 
the sort that allowed the English to conquer the Native Americans, 
India, and so on, and still keeps the American people under the thumb of 
its wealthy. It distracts our righteous popular anger over the repeated 
bail-outs of the rich and deepening neglect of most of us - away from 
the authentic popular pressure that is striving heroically in the 
opposite direction: toward a "people's bailout" and what some are 
calling equity <http://www.equityblog.org/>. "/

You weren't even present at the tea party rally and you are saying all 
this about what was said? 

And accusations of "coded racism"?

I must say that it doesn't advance things much when folks write 
statements like this based on no knowledge of the actual situation.
