Tea Party Girl: "They came into our colleges..."

From today's Los Angeles Times, as reported by Kathleen Hennessey from Nashville, site of the National Tea Party Convention

     Some conference attendees said they were worried about religious freedom and immigration. They said they sensed a withering pride in American ideals and the country's place in the world.
     Often those concerns were tied to the post-1960s culture wars.
     "You took the radicals out of the '60s.  They came into our colleges, they became teachers and they began to teach our children," said Alice Moore, 69, who got her start in political activism fighting against what she deemed inappropriate textbooks in her West Virginia town.
     "The indoctrination of kids for 35 years or longer, this is what led us to the election of this president.  It is why we're here," Moore said.


"We are what we pretend to be, so we must be very careful about what we pretend to be."

So is that the only way they can explain the election of a black president?

But it's OK to come out as a racist with this crowd. Listen to 'em!

Meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh, who eschews tea, entertains his flock with the word "retard," which he finds to be apt and, I guess, way underused:
