Local Tea Party Leader Who Suggested Shooting Hispanics Now Is Wanted By Cops -- Tweets: 'Arm Yourself'
Zachary Roth | April 14, 2010

Police are searching for a local Tea Party leader in Ohio who is wanted for violating a temporary protection order. Meanwhile, speakers at a Tea Party rally organized by the man, Brian "Sonny" Thomas, have pulled out after he suggested in a tweet that he wanted to shoot Hispanic immigrants -- then blaming it on a Bee Gees song.

Thomas is the founder and president of the Springboro Tea Party in southwest Ohio. He faces a misdemeanor charge after recently going to the home of the mother of his son, in violation of a protection order. The woman had previously told police that their son had returned from Thomas's home with bruises.

Thomas had already been in hot water, after he tweeted during a march in support of immigration reform: "Illegals everywhere today! So many spicks makes me feel like a speck. Grr. Where's my gun?"

.....................

These aren't just random demonstrators. This guy was the president of this region's Tea Party.You've got a guy, currently sitting in Congress, who is the Senior United States Senator from West Virginia...a CURRENT MEMBER and FORMER SENATE LEADER of the Democratic Party...and get this...according to Wikipedia:

Byrd has been President pro tempore of the United States Senate since 2007,[6] a position that puts him third in the line of presidential succession, behind Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Did you read that? THIRD IN LINE for PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...

Now for the kicker...this man held the position of GRAND CYCLOPS in the KU KLUX KLAN...you've heard of that organization, haven't you Sec?

Here is a quote from this man's salad days:I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.This man's name is Robert Byrd. You've heard of him I trust Sec?

You're gonna cry about some nutbag local leader of the Tea Party movement when you've got someone like Robert Byrd THIRD IN LINE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? Are you ****ING KIDDING ME?

Screw you and your hypocrisy. How dare you EVER bring up ANYTHING to do with race or racism again. THAT GOES FOR ALL THE REST OF YOU WHO TAKE PLEASURE IN TRYING TO DEGRADE ANY CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT WITH YOUR BULLSHIT CHARGES OF RACISM.

It's absolutely amazing that Democrats are allowed to take the HIGH GROUND when it comes to race and racism, while at the same time allowing this SCUMBAG Robert Byrd to sit all those years in Congress.

WAKE THE **** UP

TOP THAT.

How God and the Tea Party Can Save America

‘Instead of Israel-first candidates, the Tea Party must choose America-first candidates’

By Rev. Ted Pike

The National Tea Party movement describes itself as a fresh start for political and moral conservatism. Will there be real change? Not if more “Israel-first” candidates are promoted to high office.


Funny thing, this from the David Duke website. He probably knows Mr Byrd.

[PaceAdvantage]

[I]Funny thing, this from the David Duke website. He probably knows Mr Byrd.Funny thing, David Duke is not a member of the movement, is he? So I fail to see your point in posting this nonsense.

Or are you promoting the fact that we should squelch the free speech of people we don't agree with (like David Duke...do you think he shouldn't be allowed to write about the Tea Party?)

Sec can continue posting these baloney Tea Party racist stories all he wants. I'll simply continue to call him the hypocrite that he is for doing so...free speech all around...

Ya'll are free to be as big a hypocrite as you desire. I'm also free to call you out on such, as I am doing here.

[Tom]

It is obvious that the TP is doing it's job.
Just look at the know DNC stooges reaction here.
We even have Canadians up in arms, and it doesn't concern them in the least. :lol:

The fact that millions of people at home are watching and agreeing has them shaking. 46 is their spokesman......hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

[PaceAdvantage]

Don Imus says something racist...Democrats go crazy on him...he loses his job.

Trent Lott says something controversial...Democrats go crazy on him...he loses his job.

Robert Byrd dons his best KKK whites and writes these incredibly disgusting statements way back when:

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.""The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."Hell, as recently as 1997, he doesn't even seem all that disgusted with his KKK past...in fact, he seems more upset at what it may have done to him politically rather than the vile things it stands for:In 1997, he told an interviewer he would encourage young people to become involved in politics, but to "Be sure you avoid the Ku Klux Klan. Don't get that albatross around your neck. Once you've made that mistake, you inhibit your operations in the political arena."Was Byrd fired or dragged through the streets like Don Imus or Trent Lott? Is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson holding daily protest marches at the Capitol until Byrd resigns?

Hell no. He still sits a few heartbeats away from being THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

You have got to be shitting me here people. You're upset about some guy in Ohio who TWEETS? You're upset about a guy on the RADIO? You're upset about a guy at a Tea Party holding a sign (who may or may not actually be who he says he is)? That gets your blood boiling?

But Byrd...he's cool...he's the man...he's QUALIFIED to be PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES in fact!!! :lol:

Wow.

The Birds the word, nobody is licking his chops more than Joe B. hoping to be like Lyndon B., forget the Bird, I bet his daily pill count is up to 19 per day now and CVS loves the guy. I could not kick an old racist like the Bird because his days are numbered. I would rather pick on Barney, they say his celebrity status while flying has everyone talking. And old Nancy reminds me of Mrs. Roper when Mr Roper would tell her that he thought she needed another coat of bondo for her face now that one is number 3 but she looks like number 2.
God bless everyone, I started bending the elbow early this Friday.

We got Gerald Ford as President in a 2-Step process. Agnew resigned the VP spot in scandal, and Ford replaced Agnew. Then Nixon resigned the presidency and Ford became president. This was in 1973-1974.

No one has posted here, but Poland's top leadership, and many top people from the private & public sectors were killed in Russia last week in a terrible airplane crash, when their governement staff pilot chose to ignore Russian air traffic controlers urgent warnings about worsening weather conditions on the ground and to divert and land elsewhere.

[NJ Stinks]

That was the point that merited red ink by PA.

I did not think Imus or Lott should have been fired either if that means anything.

Comparing Byrd with this guy in Ohio is a reach. Unless the guy in Ohio did a lot of good things in his public life like Byrd has. Anyway, as Robert likes to add, this is JMO. I'm not hoping anyone agrees with me.

The way I understand it, and I could be wrong, but the red ink was to punctuate the point being made, not offer up a secondary point.

We're supposed to cower in a corner in fear of some nobody hack that is the "leader" of a local chapter of a "movement" that everyone is quick to point out fails to attract crowds worth the press that they get. We are supposed to fall down sideways in horror at a snapshot of some random twit carrying a sign with misspelled words.

Constantly, the left wing activists, left wing media, and Democrats themselves want to amplify the lowest common denominators from absolute obscurity to media prominence in an effort to mischaracterize the true representatives.

Meanwhile, sitting right there amongst them, literally as one of the most powerful and prominent men in the most powerful and prominent political party is this cretin. Yet, his name never gets a mention.

The red ink, as I read it, is not about the literal possibility of Byrd leading our country. It's about highlighting an irrefutable, self-proclaimed racist that actually has a trillion times the level of stature and influence right there within their ranks while they make every effort to turn total fringe nobodies into pseudo-celebrities to make the very point that is made NO BETTER than by looking at Byrd and the party that they are affiliated with.

BULLSHIT CHARGES OF RACISM

good point PA-- as it was Lincoln who freed the slaves, not all by himself-- he had "help" from other white guys too.

Republican help.

Racism is not up for debate. What is up for debate however, is Obama vs. the Founding Fathers and the Constitution they wrote. The Tea Party is just getting started.

Where do the critics of the Tea Party Movement get their balls from? Who cares but one word sums it up: fear.

Certainly they should be afraid of the truth, and No surprise they will attempt to obfuscate to no avail.

But just one stain among many. Agreed. He is one of the last of the anti black racist left in the democratic party. They should have booted him out long ago. I think they just assumed that he leave and become a republican like most of the anti black racists did in the 1970s and 1980s when the democratic party finally fully embraced the idea that civil rights were more important than state's rights.

That card has been used incorrectly so often by liberals that it's lost its bite. Like the boy that cried wolf, so is the fate of the too loosely used race card.

I'm immune to it now, to be honest. I know racism when I see it & don't like it, but liberals have tried to use the race card as some "shame on you for disagreeing with me on (name your issue)" far too often. People are numb to the label now.

Oh yes yes yes, we keep hearing about the White Guy is the backing for the tea party and somehow this is Negatory.


Never ever heard about 'who backed the Million man march' 'who backed the Latino march'. These movements were ALL self centered, while the Tea Party is most certainly "open to all-anti Gov movement".

It is critical of Both Parties.

Great video JR. Bottom line--it isn't about color. It is about freedom.
The tea party people are literally all over the map. From what I see they represent a return to traditional American values that weren’t in evidence in the big-spending, big-government administrations of the past.

The tea partiers tend to lean more toward the view that both our Constitution and our finances be put first before any more new entitlement programs that are paid for with fiat currency.

I don't understand why the Left is up in arms over the TP movement. I really don't get it.

Boxcar,
It is all about timing, they all know that they peaked too soon and will soon pay the piper for the exposed Marxist swing that has occured. They also know without iconic figures like Ted Kennedy around to take the heat and defuse things with a element of trust the polarization will be far too immense and the Democrat's are up for huge losses. Huge as defined as long term entrenched figures like Barney, Nancy, Harry and those who perpetrated that filthy POS. Please excuse how I depict the last part but sometimes honest is not exactly nice.
