If the Tea Party is "racist" as liberals will have you believe, how come Herman Cain has emerged as the favorite GOP candidate among Tea Party members?

Last time I checked, Mr. Cain was black.

File this under liberal hypocrisy.

From Sen. Jim DeMint, writing in The Wall Street Journal:

Congratulations to all the tea party-backed candidates who overcame a determined, partisan opposition to win their elections. The next campaign begins today. Because you must now overcome determined party insiders if this nation is going to be spared from fiscal disaster.
