Does this mean the tea party is no longer racist?

Via Politico:

If Organizing for Action’s plans come together, 2013 will be its turn to make trouble for members of Congress back home in their districts.

Four years after the tea party surprised Democrats at town halls that led to the Republican wave of 2010, the political action group formed out of the remains of President Barack Obama’s campaign laid out its plans Monday for Action August, a month of activity meant to break congressional opposition to the White House agenda.

OFA’s preparing a range of under-the-national-radar tactics in conjunction with heading for town halls. Rallies, distribution of fliers and district office demonstrations will be aimed at drawing the same sort of local attention that tea party groups managed four years ago, hoping to spook members of Congress worried about the 2014 midterms. […]

Like in the 2009 tea party explosion, the strategy is to start in the districts, rally support there and use that to spark national attention that forces Republicans in the House to change.

“Nothing is more eloquent to a member of Congress than the voice of their constituents,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), whom Carson said advised OFA on the district-centric strategy.
