News Tries to Paint Arkansas Tea Party As Racist

Arkansas Conservative News Network - By Kenneth Wallis,Little Rock Immigration Examiner: As stated in the Secure Arkansas Updates story, KARK Channel 4 did a story which attempts to merge the Arkansas Tea Party movement with racist Billy Roper. With no video or picture footage of Roper at any of the many Tea Party meetings and events across the state, KARK put a translucent picture of Roper and a Nazi Flag over a picture of Tea Party Activist at the Arkansas State Capitol. Here is a video taken during the April 15th 2010 Tea Party protest. After the National Anthem and some other announcements, a statement about the position of the Arkansas Tea Party is made. The statement regarding racist starts at 5:30 and goes until the end of the video. Copies of the statement were made available to any media outlet.

Details of the Secure Arkansas Investigation and a full transcript of the KARK story are available here . . . Read More
