I was reading through different Texas blogs when I came across this older blog on The North Texas Conservative that I found very interesting. The author of the North Texas Conservative is commenting on the on the Keith Olbermann show. This happened back in February of this year. The blog says that Olbermann faced the camera and asked all the people who participate in the Tea Party movement where the African Americans are. Mr. Olbermann then proceeded to ask about the involvement of other minorities in the Tea Party. The Dallas Tea Party responded to Mr. Olbermann's question with a video, and the North Texas Conservative has posted a link to this video. The blog goes on to talk about the spokeswoman for the Dallas Tea Party is black, and the blog also points out that it is a woman. The blog goes on and points out a few other minorities in the Dallas Tea Party.
I believe the author is making the basic claim that the Tea Party is a diverse group of people who are just tired of big government and what they call excessive taxes. I think the emotional appeal to the conservative audience is very large. I also belive that the use of the video from the Dallas Tea Party was very helpful in conveying the author's point of view. The blog gives a good one sided side of the story.
In my opinion the blog does give a good argument for those who choose to look at only this blog as souce of credible news. The blog does not give the other side of the story. It does not mention that Mr. Olbermann did respond to the Dallas Tea Party with comments on diversity. I think once again this is showing why not all blogs are educational, but can be entertainning.
