From the LA Times:

As Virginia Thomas tells it in her soft-spoken, Midwestern cadence, the story of her involvement in the “tea party” movement is the tale of an average citizen in action.

“I am an ordinary citizen from Omaha, Neb., who just may have the chance to preserve liberty along with you and other people like you,” she said at a recent panel discussion with tea party leaders in Washington. Thomas went on to count herself among those energized into action by President Obama’s “hard-left agenda.”

Text continues after gallery …

But Thomas is no ordinary activist.

She is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and she has launched a tea-party-linked group that could test the traditional notions of political impartiality for the court.

In January, Virginia Thomas created Liberty Central Inc., a nonprofit lobbying group whose website will organize activism around a set of conservative “core principles,” she said.

    Yeah. I remember they used her to prove that he didn’t really sexually harass Anita Hill, that she was a black woman making up accusations because he had a white wife. They showed his wife with the typical conservative white woman hair cut, and they threw that case out quick! It was comparable to saying that Tiger Woods would sexually grope a black woman. lol

    I think it is the Tea Party’s agenda to reestablish the same ‘hard-right’ dictatorship status quo…they are giving obama problems in every turn…it’s funny how these ‘tea bag’ idiots didn’t give it much thought of ‘getting their country back’ during the republican dictatorship…she should nominate sarah ‘i can see russia from alaska’ palin as their presidential candidate…

    U know white women are just as evil as their white men yet the media presents them as victims in matters of race.

    Like the white girl who lied on Kobe, and all those white women who slept with Tiger who are obviously home recking wh0res became his victims.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blknall/ blknall

    odoggz, the same way he used race to escape sexual harrassment she’ll use him to escape being called a racist.

    White women have takin the “my best friend is black” to a whole other level.

    Like Keke’s white mama callin them the N word, i’ve seen white women with mixed race children do this and sometimes their black boyfriend r husband does it with them. NO LIE

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    There are democrats that are in the tea party along with black people. Now clearly are the minority. But i’m sick and tired of these politricks. @blknall be smarter than that man when has Thomas wife ever did soemthing racists? As for Kobe and Tiger don’t mess with white woman. We all know what R. Kelly did and he got off scott free and the white media hardly gave a damn about it. Kobe was dumb for f**king that white chic and Tiger was dumb as hell for doing what he did.

    While I don’t know that Mrs. Thomas is a racist, I do know that there are plenty of racist Tea-baggers out there. If you ask me about my associates and I can’t say they aren’t racists, then my cause as it were is no longer just.

    It’s disgusting and disturbing that the mainstream media won’t call it like it is and put it out there that the Tea-bagger movement is full of White racists and any claims of purity to a just cause are suspect as such.

    its funny how they throw in ‘racism’ with ‘Tea Party’ and we ignore everything they are talking about far as being over taxed.

    especially since ‘black’ folks for the most part are employees, and live in communities where other people take our money and bring it back to their community. that extra ‘money’ could do us some good, if the Gov’t and IRS didnt have their hands in our pockets all the time. not like they are spending OUR money responsibily anyway…. but I digress

    anyway this beautiful black womban, Sherry Peel-Jackson has been speakin on the IRS for YEARS so check her out…….

    IRS = non-government, foreign corporation
    that tax money is used to pay the interest on the national debt. ex-president Ronald Reagan admitted that before he died a few years ago

    since the UNITED STATES(Inc.) no longer uses lawful-money(gold&silver), it allows a non-government foriegn corporaton (Federal Reserve) to print money outta thin air, with nothing of real value backing it.

    :( the citizens/subjects are used as collateral to pay off the debt (bErth certificates/social security) our labor keep the machine running.

    our RIGHTS are secured by the Consitution, however since we have the Right to contract we can unknowingly give up our rights thru those contracts when we are seeking some kinda benefit or privledge(which can be taken away)

    13th amendment ended involuntary-servitude(slavery) UNLESS you were found guilty of a crime. however VOLUNTARY-servitude is still going on thru CONTRACTS. :( anything we sign our name to is a contract.

    ex: bErth certificates, ‘drivers’ liscence, social-security,etc

    14th amendment citizens = ALL CAPITAL NAMES = corporation
    ex: “JAMES SMITH” (all capitol letters = ‘strawman’ )
    corporations can only do business with other corporations.
    like how when you go to ‘court’ it says STATE OF NEW YORK(Inc.) VS JAMES SMITH.
    the STATE OF NEW YORK(Inc.) is not a (natural)person, its 14th amendment (legal-fiction)’person’. nobody was harmed, no property damaged so HOW did a crime take place??? its all about COMMERCE !!!

    sending daps to dx knows…its crazy how we see RIGHT IN FRONT OF US…the CONTINUED rise of white hate groups, and still some of us will say there is no need for Black Panthers, NOI, or other Black Nationalist, Black self- defense groups….you gotta laugh at some of us.

    And I already know that someone is gonna come in here and say its more Black folks killing of other Black folks and we shouldnt worry about white folks.

    The thing is that people that say that HAVE AMNESIA and forget that the Black community back in the day had absolutely NO RESEMBLANCE to what we have today

    and we are worse off due to POLICES that disproportionately effect Black families and were written by racist white folks and azz kissin Black folks.

    I mean you simply look at what unity has done for other communities and see the proof, but some of us are too worried about making sure we melt evenly in the melting pot.

    @soularFlarez. Good brother, you keep making the right and exact points, but they continuously fall on deaf ears with a few exceptions. They have been conditioned to shout racism when they hear tea party. Reminds me of Pavlov’s Dog. I doubt 95% of the critics, even know one position these people stand on. They think it’s just about anti-Obama.

    When these same people lose 25-30% of purchasing power by year’s end, due to inflation (which is essentially a hidden tax) they will still be blaming Bush, which is right in line with their programming.

    I will admit I don’t agree with Obama but I do believe the tea party is mostly racist white people. The reason why is because the 8yrs George “Dubya” Bush was f**king up the country, it wasn’t no tea party movement going around talking bout taking out country back or crying about taxes (repubs tax thru credit and dems tax from your pockets, so both parties will tax you).

    Obama was sworn in office Jan 2009 and the tea party movement started in March 2009. So what other reason they had to go against Obama besides his skin color because they couldn’t have known what his agenda was that quick.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Real_bumbleclot. I agree with you on the timing. I do believe a lot of it is phony outrage, since GB did do the same things for 8yrs and there was no considerable protest. But that doesn’t diminish the fact that theoretically, the fundamental msg of this movement is sound. BHO also set himself up for this, by promising sweeping change, and then coming in with business as usual. Also, the racist element of this tea party comes from outside forces. As much as Casey tries to link RP to white supremacist groups, go look at any of the RP rallies during the campaign and see if you saw any racism. It’s only now that the tea party has gone mainstream, do you see these racists joining on. One thing you should keep in mind. These racist groups are opportunists. They will go to where ever their are huge crowds and blend in. The media has purposefully and mistakenly labeled this entire movement as racist, in my view.

    Let’s not also think about corporate welfare, which has hurt residents probably more than the stereotypical view of welfare. Just look at the amounts of industry that has left many cities and in particular urban working class/poor neighborhoods that are highly resided by people of color in many, many cases. Where were people then as factories and industry was leaving to foreign countries?

    I do think this is phony, fake outrage to something that has been occurring for decades. Think about the tax percentages and who pays more and for how long that has been going on for. It has never been a “fair” system, as the “rich” has always paid more. So, again, where was that outrage long ago?

    Ok now my comment….. Clarence Thomas is a shameful dark skinned white man, who needs a drop squad done on his stupid a$$.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Charmed2Def/ Charmed2Def

    The woman was caught red-handed exchanging correspondence with her GOP consituents saying she had a chance to advance their agenda with her position [marriage to Clarence]. Days later Judge Thomas passes a bill that pushes 100 years of established law over the cliff, now allowing corporations to fund political campaigns.

    Basically it has been proven that her and her husband held a conversation about passing that particular bill. Unfortunately, there’s no court above the Supreme Court who can tell Judge Thomas to recuse himself from the decision. So we’re now left with Justice Thomas being the only person who can decide to recuse himself – which he obviously won’t because he’s going to stand by his Tea-Party wife.

    She’s a snake and he’s a pawn.
