Tea Party and Bengal Tigers
Right Wing Watch, part of People for the American Way, is bringing attention to an email from Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips sent today to members of his organization, which blames liberals for African-American poverty and incarceration disparities, and considers marriage equality a “freak show.”
“According to liberals, blacks are over represented on welfare rolls and in the criminal justice system because America is a racist nation. The truth is, we implemented the programs the left wanted and this is the result.
“Now the far left wants to turn marriage into a freak show involving 3 men, 5 women, 2 dogs and a Bengal tiger.
“The left’s definition of equality is to allow anyone and anything to marry.”
