It's the Thought That Counts

This Open Letter to Matt Bai points out what I have said earlier, that the accusations against the Tea Party are now defacto reality. When it comes to race once the accusation is made by the left, it sticks regardless of the massive quantity of evidence to the contrary - it is the implied racism of those outside the leftist mainstream that is in play here. Next, once the left has painted itself into the corner over this issue, we will be reading and hearing everyone talk about how it was not necessarily what the Tea Party members said, but what they were thinking that really counts and they were thinking racist thoughts.
