Dallas Tea Party Takes On Keith Olbermann and 'White' MSNBC

The Dallas Tea Party has taken on Keith Olbermann's claim last week that members of the movement are all white.

As NewsBusters reported last Monday, the "Countdown" host did a Special Comment that evening concluding with the question to Tea Party activists, "Why are you surrounded by the largest crowd you will ever again see in your life that consists of nothing but people who look exactly like you?"

With this in mind, the Dallas Tea Party published a video Monday not only responding to Olbermann's absurd accusation, but also inviting him to attend the one year anniversary of the Tea Party movement in Dallas this coming Saturday (video embedded below the fold, h/t Angry White Dude):


KEITH OLBERMANN: Let me ask all of you who attend these things: How many black faces do you see at these events?

NARRATOR: Well, Keith, we see a whole lot more at our events than we see on MSNBC. In fact, we have more diversity on our three-person steering committee than your entire TV network line-up...Something tells me you've never been to a Tea Party. We think it's time you get out of your bubble.

Tea Partiers shouldn't hold their breath waiting for Olbermann's attendance.

I think the more outrageous assertion of Olbermann's is that apparently having too many white people in one place is "suspicious".

That is the assertion that needs to be attacked, because it is more easily disproven than any exploration of one's internal attitudes toward "diversity" or "tolerance"...concepts that have no agreed-upon and measurable definition. Debating these concepts on their terms will result in only rhetorical jousting and result in a de facto defeat to the Olbermann's of the world.

I like Mark Levin's name better Keith Overbite at MSLSD.

Please write, fax, call NBC/MSNBC and DEMAND OLBERMANN BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY also start calling ALL ADVERTISERS OF MSNBC AND DEMAND THEY PULL ALL ADVERTISEMENT FUNDS AND PROGRAMS FROM THE KEITH OLBERMANN SHOW!!!!

Ditto! Olbermann's entire argument relies on the premise there is something wrong with white Americans protesting as a group! Of course Americans of all ethnicities are involved, but Olbermann is blinded by his hatred for white America to ever acknowledge that! Consequently, he can see nothing but white because that's what he has chosen to see.

Even it it was all white, so what. Why do we have to defend being white. We have the black caucus the hispanic caucus etc. We have a right to assemble without people of color and be responsible, law abiding, non racist citizens. I am tired of defending my whiteness.

Yeah, Overbite is a self hating white racist, I guess most "progressives" are the same.

i guess the Dallas Tea Party told him
