No it's perfect that anyone can say whatever they want within the tea party. It means that its leaders cannot deny racism there, regardless of all their attempts and those of their mouthpieces in the news media. You know who I'm talking about.

Yes it backs up the claim that there's racism there - he manifested it, and because they were embarrassed, they got rid of him. There are elections coming, you know?

Yes but your question was if there's evidence on the "a large portion don't want a Muslim in office and believe that Obama is a Muslim" - the tea party hasn't been mentioned there either, has it? So does a chunk of the population, or does it not, believe he's Muslim? And is there or is there not any racism in the tea party? That's the question. You can try with an answer, or you could keep moving the goalposts.
