Last year, Glenn Beck made headlines when he said that President Obama hated "White people and White Culture", then Michael Steele claimed that President Obama had a disdain or hatred for "Black people". Don't forget Rush Limbaugh who claimed last year that the Half-White of Obama is making him "Racist" against African-Americans. Now according to a Tea Party Leader, President Barack Obama is "Our Half White, Racist President".
In a bizarre attempt to defend himself against accusations of racism, Mark Williams, the conservative talk radio host who has become a prominent spokesman for the Tea Party Express, called the President in an email sent to other conservative leaders "Our Half White, Racist President".
In the Email obtained by TPM, Mark Williams appeared to be responding to charges of racism against himself. .
He wrote :
CNN went over more than seven thousand articles on my site; likely they also listened to the shows archived there too. No doubt they did a Lexis Nexis on me and found thirty years of work by and about me. The best that they could do as a result was string together three quotes, out of context, and throw in a false allegation of me calling Obama a "Nazi".
I was in the streets marching for civil rights while asshole southern sheriffs were swinging nail studded baseball bats at black's heads, and stood between black kids and even more fucked up northern assholes were throwing rocks and gas bombs at school buses in my hometown during forced busing for deseg.
Two things you can always count on: I will defend my record on race to no one (sic), under any circumstances and, I will call out any racist, any time without regard to who they are ... and that includes our half white, racist president.
Note that, according to TPM, Williams is the same man who called "an Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug and a racist in chief" back in 2009. Is it now fashion among the Teabaggers to call the President racist in order to excuse their racism ?
