Well for two reasons:

When someone makes a blanket statement calling an entire group of people "racist fucks", I don't think any amount of reasoning will change their mind.
The second half of their comment was "No one takes them seriously". Now that is a point I am willing to debate. When a political group controls roughly 20% of the elected seats in the state house and they have legislative victories to point to, I don't think it's fair to say that no one takes them seriously.

Sweeping racist accusations under the rug makes them seem valid. If they weren't racist you could easily show how they weren't, by seemingly changing the subject it looks like you can't defend them.

I don't know much about them but now I'm pretty sure they are racist fucks only because of how you have responded to people here.

Edit: looked them up, leader is paused by the heritage foundation and they are associated with the tea party, so yeah, probably racist fucks.
