The Tea Party platforms indicate no racism or hate anywhere.
Is he referring to reports by black legislators that Tea Party activists hurled racial epithets at them? Is he referring to the posters created by Tea Party members depicting President Obama as a jungle savage? How about Tea Party members' persistent claims that Obama isn't a U.S. citizen because they just can't accept that a black guy with a funny name is running the country?

So the Tea Party members holding the racial signs and calling out racial slurs were only opinion? How about the racist joke...only left wing opinion?
Robert Carlyle Byrd (born Cornelius Calvin Sale, Jr.; November 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010) was a United States Senator from West Virginia. A member of the Democratic Party, Byrd served as a U.S. Representative from 1953 until 1959 and as a U.S. Senator from 1959 to 2010. He was the longest-serving U.S. Senator and, at the time of his death, the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress.[3][4][5][6] (In June 2013, his record was surpassed by U.S. Representative John Dingell of Michigan).[7] Byrd, however, still holds the record as the longest-serving member of Congress to serve in both houses. Byrd was a member of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1940s, serving as a recruiter and leader for his chapter, but later left the group and denounced racial intolerance.
He later renounced his actions in both cases and called his membership in the KKK ‘the worst mistake of my life.’
despite his successful political track record, the Senate’s senior Democrat was no stranger to controversy and was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan,” as if calling for the extermination of dark-skinned peoples (as well as Jews, Catholics, and gays) was no more stirring a gaffe than Gary Hart’s monkey business.

I thought that was shown to be planted operatives to discredit.

Sen. Robert Byrd not only was a KKK member but led his local Klan chapter
He later renounced his actions in both cases and called his membership in the KKK ‘the worst mistake of my life.’
Yeah right
despite his successful political track record, the Senate’s senior Democrat was no stranger to controversy and was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan,” as if calling for the extermination of dark-skinned peoples (as well as Jews, Catholics, and gays) was no more stirring a gaffe than Gary Hart’s monkey business.
So people actually believed he went from the above quote to not having those ideals...BS.

If that's the only one you can come up with then no..the problem with the right..is that there is evidence all around...from tweets, emails, speeches and actions to help "they are racist chants"

Proof please...show me.
Not just a few possible infiltrations but that there were many..and then maybe I will believe.
I tried looking and only came up with a few stories concerning one individual.

Those were all deep cover Left Wing operatives paid to slander (cognitive infiltration).
I think the vast majority of public racism is instigated, exemplified and amplified by Democrat politicians.
We see many cases at the highest levels of government officials.
