And of course the usual sellout types came out, namely Jesse Lee Peterson who is always on hand to warn everyone that Black people are, in his words, &#8220;wicked&#8221;, and Niger Innis, a longtime character, who along with his equally worthless father Roy Innis spent the past 42 years decimating the good name of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) by turning it into a civil rights organization that white racists approve of. And we are not kidding about that. CORE saw controversy years ago because their annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day dinners have meant them inviting the likes of radio show host Bob &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any problem with the National Alliance&#8221; Grant, who has called King a &#8220;bum&#8221; and a &#8220;scumbag&#8221; on the air, and the following year &#8211; while admonishing Hillary Clinton for attending Al Sharpton&#8217;s dinner the same night &#8211; The currently rotting in Hell Austrian Nazi politician Jorg Haider to share a dais with Rudolph Giuliani (who said he didn&#8217;t know who he was even though just&nbsp; two months prior, Haider generated controversy and protests by running in the New York Marathon). This picture is from the Uni-Tea rally in Philadelphia last weekend, which was supposed to bring out people of all colors to tout right-wing politics and hate Obama. Niger Innis just introduced Little Andy Breitbart who looks like he is holding onto him for dear life in this pic &#8211; and that is pretty symbolic of how teabaggers view the situation they have created in recent months. <a target=\"_self\" href=\"http:\/\/ladylibertyslamp.wordpress.com\/2010\/08\/05\/when-unity-is-spelled-wrong-the-uni-tea-party-facade\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lady Liberty&#8217;s Lamp<\/a> has given us one hell of a report from that rally as well as a video which could not illustrate better the complete and abject failure it really was.
