"People who could not even spell the word ‘vote’, or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

Tom Tancredo at the Tea Party convention in DC.
This whole movement is starting to get scary. While I don’t agree with their politics, I can understand the ideology of wanting a small government. But when you rally people around racist ideals with vitriolic hatred that’s another story. In addition to his lovely quote above, Tancrado (who I’m ashamed to say hails from my home state of Colorado) called for a return to voting literacy tests. Jim Crow, anyone?
I guess the only bright spot in all this is that I think a literacy test would hurt the Tea Party more than it would help it…
