I have long maintained that the Tea Party, in addition to be an arm of the theocratic Christianist movement, is strongly racist in its agenda. It's one of the reasons that the recent racism eruption in the Virginia Beach GOP is noteworthy since GOP candidate Scott Rigell has signed onto the Tea Party agenda. Not to mention that he's a Pat Robertson Kool-Aid drinking Christofascist. Now, David Duke - yes, that David Duke who has held the position of Imperial Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan - has come out in defense of the Tea Party and its "whiteness." Truth be told, anyone who is not white, straight, conservative Christian is not welcome in the USA as envisioned by the Tea Party. For LGBT Americans the only consolation is that we are but one of many minority groups hated and loathed by the Tea Party crowd. Joe By God has these highlights:*
Former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard and white supremacist David Duke thinks it's ridiculous to criticize the Tea Party for being so white. Completely unrelated (yeah, right) is today's report from the NAACP that ties the Tea Party to several white nationalist groups. According to Duke, Zionists are trying to wrestle the Tea Party away from its rightful white founders. . . . Let's hope he [Duke] gets his wish and the national media ties this Grand Wizard around their necks.

This video displays Duke's disingenuous bullshit:
