Tea Party Fear Factor

Here is my idea for a new "reality" TV show, Tea Party Fear Factor: each week, in exchange for a sum of money, a Tea Party member is placed in a setting full of young African-Americans or brown people who do not speak English. It will be full of excitement. How much will the teabagger play for? How long will he or she last? How soon will he or she start a conflict?


I also have a motto for the Tea Party: "It's not about racism, it's about giving our hard-earned pay to help non-Whites."
