A group of mostly senior citizens meeting in a public park were harassed and chased away last weekend by a mob of Tea Party people. The group was working on Van Jones' American Dream project. CitizenJoe has a good diary about this.

If you agree that Tea Party bullying is unacceptable, sign my petition imploring the mayor of the town to make sure his parks remain accessible to ALL.

Is right wing racism being used as the flash to distract us from the magician's hands?

Before the theory, lets start with the fact. Pew Research's News Coverage Index shows a gigantic increase in media discussion about President Obama's race last week.

According to the NCI, from early February through mid-September, Obama's race was a significant factor in only 1% of the stories in which he was a lead newsmaker. (A lead newsmaker is someone featured in at least 50% of a story.)

Last week, Obama's race was a significant element in fully 25% of the stories in which he was the prominent figure.
