Prime Time CBS Drama ‘The Good Wife’ Impugns Tea Party as ‘Racist Organization’

(By Brent Baker, NewsBusters.org) - Tuesday night’s episode of 'The Good Wife' on CBS gave prime time legitimacy to the presumption the Tea Party is racist as a lawyer in a courtroom tried to discredit an expert witness (Gary Cole as Sarah Palin supporter “Kurt McVeigh”) who testified against a since-exonerated black defendant, by demanding he admit he’s “a member of the Tea Party.” The lawyer asserts “it is our contention that my client’s prosecution was racist,” citing McVeigh’s “membership in a racist organization,” namely the Tea Party.
