Mark Williams Cuts Ties With Tea Party Express

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – A former Sacramento leader of the Tea Party Express whose inflammatory remarks drew allegations of racism has cut ties with the organization.

The group sent an e-mail to supporters Friday announcing that Mark Williams had formally ended his involvement. He had been acting as a spokesman after stepping down as its chairman more than a month ago.

Williams set off a firestorm last week after posting a letter on his blog written from “Colored People” to Abraham Lincoln. The post suggested that black people would choose slavery over having to do real work.

In a letter to the Sacramento-based Tea Party Express, Williams said the media and “our domestic enemies” had misinterpreted his attempt at satire.

    Mark Williams made the mistake of thinking that one can use satire about race. Only liberals can use satire and then it is against any conservative. I have listened to Mark when he was on a radio station in Sacramento and he is not a racist, but he does know how to use satire. He is another victim of the left wing race baiters and will be missed, but I do not think he will quit from professing the conservative agenda.

    When you hear the Democratic Socialists use the word “racist”, it is equal in purpose and design to the National Socialists using the term “Juden”.
