Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, talked Tea Party... in a lively interview with CNN's Piers Morgan that [aired] at 9 ET Monday night.

Overall, the Tea Party is a "good" movement, Giuliani said, but it has also attracted "a couple of people that are a little crazy ... "

As an active member of the Tea Party movement in Minnesota, I may be expected to take issue with Giuliani's assertion. However, one of the charms of the Tea Party is its defiance of expectation. I actually agree with the mayor.

There are, in fact, a couple people in the Tea Party that are a little crazy. There is a sound explanations for their presence, and for my ability as a Tea Party activist to acknowledge them.

He’s right.

Some of the RW extremist kooks attempting to affiliate themselves with the Tea Party Movement are people like Cindy Sheehan’s ex-boyfriend, Lyndon LaRouche

A couple of people out of several million. Not bad.

And when ever they show up at a Tea Party, they are asked to leave. And escorted out if they don't. Gently but firmly

The ratio of crazies in the leftist camp is much MUCH higher.
