The Tea Party Express rolled into the District of Corruption earlier this morning. A rally that drew a couple thousand angry conservatives (mostly from the Red States) was held in Freedom Plaza off the Washington Metro. We didn’t have much to do at OD headquarters in Charlottesville today. So we decided to ride up to DC to check out all the action ourselves.
Just how “implicitly White” is the Tea Party crowd? I have speculated about this for a long time. We have all read the news reports. We have seen the photos and read the scathing editorials in liberal newspapers about the Tea Party movement and its appalling “lack of diversity.” Will this anachronistic demographic who say they “want their country back” ever summon the courage to fight back?
I have a mixed verdict. The political hacks we saw on the huge video screen (presumably, the leadership) decried “racism” and whined about fringe rightwing extremists and leftist infiltrators who intend to discredit the Tea Party. These people can be written off as useless. A small segment of the Tea Party crowd were carrying signs that said absurd things like “opposing Obama doesn’t make me a racist” and “truth shouldn’t be confused with hate.” I only saw a few of these. Let’s write them off as unreachable too.
The larger section of the crowd struck me as ambiguous. These people have an inchoate set of beliefs: Obama is a Communist, Obama is a Marxist, Obama is a traitor, Obama is not an American, Obama is a bloodsucking leftist vampire, Americans are taxed to much, the federal government should be smaller, the borders should be secured, the MSM is a domestic enemy, Jesus Christ should play a larger role in our culture, the Antichrist walks the Earth, this world will soon come to a fiery end. A Christian gentleman on the scene gave us a pamphlet that said Doomsday was May 11, 2011. Be prepared!
I saw a lot of things I liked: the crowd was almost exclusively White, the few blacks on the scene (who were not antis) were making a buck selling Tea Party paraphernalia, it was a crowd of healthy, ordinary, middle class people, most of the protesters were from the Red States (we saw South Carolina, Tennessee, Arizona and Kansas flags), the Gadsden Flag and Give Me Liberty or Death Flags were more ubiquitous than the American flag, Colonial Flags were on sale, one protester had the 1st Confederate National Flag on a poster, several Whites were dressed as Colonial soldiers, the anti-Obama rhetoric was more scathing than I expected.
The Tea Party protesters are not bad people. They are certainly nothing like the National Socialist Movement or World Church of the Creator. The idea that the Tea Party Express is the reincarnation of Hitler’s Brownshirts is such a crude distortion that it would ruin the credibility of any journalist who uttered it in saner times. I will say this though: there is a common thread that unites the Tea Party protesters with the militias and gun enthusiasts (and the White Nationalists) we saw in Kentucky. All of these groups are starting to rally around a common anti-government symbol: the Gadsden flag.
Where there is smoke, there is fire. There were a lot of posters there that just left me wondering. I saw one that said “A Village in Africa is Missing its Idiot.” Another said, “I wish Obama was an American.” Several of the Tea Party signs were caricatures of Obama that struck me as mildly negrophobic. They had slightly exaggerated racial features that brought to mind the Jim Crow minstrel show cartoons that I collect back home. The punchline: this man in the White House, the bloodsucking illegitimate thief stealing our money, is a sort of absurd African foreigner. This type of milquetoast racial humor seemed to be quite popular among the crowd.
The Tea Party protesters also hate the media. This is another trait they have in common with us. I saw multiple signs that more or less condemned the media as a treasonous arm of the Obama administration. White Nationalists call it the “Jewsmedia.” Tea Party conservatives have different names (lap dog media) for the same phenomena. ABC, NBC, and CBS were condemned as the “Axis of Evil.”
Carl Cameron of FOX News made an appearance. I stood less than five feet away from him waving the Gadsden flag in the background of the U.S. Capitol. I don’t know if any of this was on television. There were other “Alternative Right” commentators on the ground in DC. We saw someone from The Political Cesspool walking among the crowd. Stuff Black People Don’t Like was on the scene and chatted with us. The racialist alternative media has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year.
White Nationalists aren’t walking yet. We are starting to crawl though. We are showing up in greater numbers at other rightwing events and producing original coverage and analysis for our expanding online media presence. This portends further positive developments down the road.
Update: The photos we shot will be uploaded to the OD Facebook group.
Trainspotter, all excellent point and I can’t disagree with much of it.
Anybody remember this?
…
Moran was criticized by Jewish groups again in 2007 for remarks made in an issue of Tikkun, a California-based Jewish magazine, which were said to have placed blame for the Iraq War on the pro-Israel American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC. Moran told Tikkun that AIPAC is “the most powerful lobby and has pushed this war from the beginning. I don’t think they represent the mainstream of American Jewish thinking at all, but because they are so well organized, and their members are extraordinarily powerful – most of them are quite wealthy – they have been able to exert power.”
Moran’s remarks were criticized by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington and the National Jewish Democratic Council. Ronald Halber, executive director of the first group, said that Moran “uses several age-old canards that have been used throughout history that have brought violence upon Jews… He uses clearly anti-Semitic images such as Jewish control of the media and wealthy Jews using their wealth to control policy.” He was also criticized by many House Democrats, including Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Energy and Commerce committee chairman Henry Waxman, who said that Moran’s remarks were innacurate and “deeply offensive.” House Republican Whip, lone Republican Jewish member of the House, and fellow Representative from Virginia Eric Cantor said that Moran’s remarks were “bigoted.”
Junghans, well put. And I agree with you, I believe that we are beginning to awake from our slumber. We’ve got a long way to go, of course, but many signs are encouraging.
With friends like this, who needs enemies? I don’t give a whit if people think Jews are evil and the Nazis were wonderful. Building an anti-Jewish rainbow coalition is not my goal. The racial preservation of Europeans, especially Northern Europeans, is my goal.
Thanks Veni. By the way, I’m from Virginia. Most Republican voters around here didn’t even know Cantor was Jewish until well after he was elected and firmly entrenched. No idea. Ironically, even here in the Old Dominion, the home of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, I first learned of it…from an Arab. What a world.
This Arab maintained that Israeli representatives were in and out of Cantor’s office all day (based on the claim of some guy he knew that worked in a nearby office, probably another Congressional office, if memory serves). Who knows? But I do know that I was shocked to learn in that way. Surprise! Around here, Cantor was just painted as a standard “conservative” Repubican, and the Republican always win that particular congressional district. Gaining the Republican nomination is pretty much the same thing as winning the election. Anyway, Cantor makes no attempt to downplay his Jewishness these days, that’s for sure.
MGLS
Agree but the rainbow coalition might be the best short term option – including Jews that are on our side. I’m sure there are plenty of Jews that voted for the Minaret ban, and don’t want more Muslims in Europe.
But the Zionist regime in America – and their sayanim allies – must be taken down. I have no personal animosity towards Jewish people, but organized crime is what it is, often ethnic.
Where are the moderate Jewish Americans, Westerners, “Whites” denouncing welfare for Israel, AIPAC, or even *not* calling anti-war people “anti-Semites”? For whatever reason, Jews won’t do it.
I want to see some slick New York Jew Lawyer prosecutor like Spitzer suing Goldman Sachs and sending some of his Jew friends to prison. Wasps turn on each other at the drop of the hat, when someone crossed the line. Jews never do. So … what’s the “Jewish” question again? Come on Western Jews, we need a Kissinger who will take down some of “your people” to prove you are on our side.
Petraeus 2012 lol
“Reginald –
Your allusion to a vanity fair cover eludes me. Which cover?”
Vanity Fair did a cover story on rising young Hollywood Actresses, and since all nine that made the cover were White, they were accused of Racism.

This year’s annual Young Hollywood issue by Vanity Fair has sparked nothing short of outrage in many readers. The issue, which is supposed to feature the next generation of stars, fails to include any actors of color on the cover. Celebs who made the cut include Abbie Cornish, Kristen Stewart, Carey Mulligan, Amanda Seyfried, Rebecca Hall, Mia Wasikowska, Emma Stone, Evan Rachel Wood, and Anna Kendrick. However, in a year where Zoe Saldana has been heralded for her performances in both Avatar and Star Trek, and Gabby Sidibe received an Oscar nomination for her performance in Precious, many are left scratching their heads over VF’s decision making process. As it turns out, Stewart and Seyfried were also on an August 2008 VF cover touting “Hollywood’s New Wave.” And this was also a white-girl-only cover. How is it that the magazine can’t think of one actor of color worthy of inclusion on one of their Hollywood issues?
“While we’d like to think celeb bible Vanity Fair puts a great deal of thought and planning into its annual “New Hollywood” issue, this year the editors really limited their scope when it came to choosing the next big stars. (Or perhaps they overemphasized the “Fair”? ) Every woman on its new cover is extremely thin and very, very white. Unless Vanity Fair considers one redhead to be diversity, we feel the need to cry foul,” wrote Joanna Douglas on Shine.com.

“I cannot help but laugh hysterically at this. The Jewish Lesbian Democrat – a big name in New York Mass Media – is a specialist at racial provocation. ”
Veni Vidi Dixi,
This particular photo shoot wasn’t provocative at all. That’s the point.
“Do you think that transparent manufactured ‘racist’ thing about the VF cover was really ‘liberals’ getting upset that Vanity Fair (ha ha lulz) was being ‘racist’ by showing the hot White Blonde New Hollywood cover?”
It was that it was a group of White Females, with no Minorities.
Also, the Liberals who got upset were mostly Female Blacks and Female Hispanics, hardly masters of dissimulation.
“The people who did that cover and manufactured the whole phony ‘outrage’ ‘racist’ thing are marketers. Don’t underestimate the power of New York Media – they have 10 IQ point on anyone on this site (including me). And a trillion dollars.”
So it was just to make a few more bucks by suckering WNs into buying that issue of Vanity Fair.
It all makes sense now…
Thanks for clearing that up.
Also, it has become clear that the Liberals act like the Tea Partiers are Racist to sucker people into buying Newsweek.

The claim was repeatedly made by Leftists that the cover should’ve included the 500 pound lead from ‘Precious’, and someone or the other from ‘Avatar’ who was too old to fall under the category ‘Young Hollywood’.
This was an expression of the same Leftist mindset that led to Pro-Black discrimination becoming mandated by the State.

This is because it’s, quite literally, against their religion to ‘snitch’ on a fellow Jew.

“sucker people into buying Newsweek.”
Nobody buys Newsweek.
It was irony.
My point is that Leftists will call Whites Racist for being in all White groups even when it loses subscribers for Leftist Owned Rags.
“So it was just to make a few more bucks by suckering WNs into buying that issue of Vanity Fair.”
No, it was a handful of dollars to get the brand name into a white demographic and create a racial controversy to get press.
Grow up. Seriously.
You seem to be assuming that it took calculation for Vanity Fair to do something so shocking and unusual as have a cover with 9 White Actresses on it.
“No, it was a handful of dollars to get the brand name into a white demographic and create a racial controversy to get press.”
You saying Vanity Fair bribed Black and Hispanic Females into whining about Racism?
You actually think they need any inducement to do that?
Ha!
No, what I am saying is that the people who make those sorts of decisions are perfectly aware of every topic in white nationalist circles, and are not stupid, and know exactly what they are doing. When their is a racial controversy attached to a brand of the New York media, they created the controversy.
Do you think New York Lesbian Jewish Democrats are actually so stupid they don’t know what they are doing when they put a bunch of white women on the cover of their flagship magazine, then create a white vs. blacks/latinos “racial” controversy that has even YOU talking about it?
Check it out, two white guys reading white nationalist sites are arguing over a Vanity Fair cover and whether it’s racist or not. LOL.
By the way, they have lunch with their FOX news counterparts next door. Ha ha lol dumb ass white guys.
I’ve been active in the Tea Party Movement since it began, and the irritation I feel at seeing how they fall over themselves to “prove” they are not”racist” is driving me crazy.
I try to educate them as to how the artificial term “racist” was invented–by a marxist leftard jew in the 1930s as a way to silence conservative dissent (the Frankfurt School of Marxist theory…study up on it if you haven’t already). The CofCC has a great video about it, available also on YouTube.
I’m a “racist”, I don’t care who knows it. There are worse things I could be called, like “murderer”.
