You said it best! Nobody has the right to speak for this group! And for some prick to decide what beliefs are off limits for legitimate voices in the political arena is arrogant.

So as a Catholic and social conservative, I should now be purged.

Why?

To satify the RINO’s, the media, and leftist.

Well then goodbye and good luck.

Thanks, Clump. It’s good to see I’m not alone in my thinking.

Stalkers always try to make out the other to be the “estranged party”. They are traitors, manipulators, weak extorters.

Our government perverts full of gays is joining this new chorus of nonsense not seen out West since Hitler.

STALKERS! They will not just “target”, they will stalk and murder.

How come nobody ever suggets that liberals disavow their fringe?

Oh wait, there is no difference between the liberal fringe and “mainstream” liberals.

What's a politico? And what's a politico Kenneth P. Vogel?

Close as I can tell, politico is just DU with fewer 4-letter words, and the vogel is another GLBT pervert with seething rage and a dictionary.

The object of the article being simply a repetition of the charge that the Tea Party Movement is racist and extreme fringe movement, based entirely on 10 weird signs and persons among hundreds of thousands.

Only using 1500 words and a dozen empty knee-jerk name-calling phrases to arrive at the same "brilliant logical conclusion."

*** Yawn ***

No, they’re just getting rid of Birthers and Truthers. They think Birthers are giving a bad name to Tea Party and the conservative nature of Tea Party. Somehow, some truthers got into Tea Party, probably because nobody else wanted to play with them.

parsy, who thinks it is probably a good move, but wonders if Tea Party can coalesce

I worked with a left wing agitator type once, and she once said something that I thought was profoundly wise: Never let somebody else define you.

Words and notions like “extremeist” and “right-wing” and such have been cheapened from overuse, as has the increasingly impotent “racist.”

I think, or at least I hope, that the majority of Americans have moved beyond the effects the Progressives hope these words have on us.

The author seems to agree with Napolitano: In her statement Wednesday, Ms. Napolitano defended the report, which says "rightwing extremism" may include groups opposed to abortion and immigration, as merely one among several threat assessments.

The Tea Party remained its most influential when they did not have folks stepping out as "leaders" to speak on it's behalf. As long as it remained an undefined, agitated, incalculable group of citizens capable of huge, unexpected groundswells, it kept both sides of the aisle on their toes.

That's what has both the "progressives" and the business-as-usual RINOS in a perpetual snit :

They hate that!

Hey Napo! How about pissed off middle aged white business owners who are sick and tired of working their keesters off to support the Loser Class?

And so the RINOS in charge of the party begin the purges to insure the victory of the democrats in November. They are in for a rude awakening. The paradigm is shifting and these clowns don’t have a clue. The real danger however, is a preemptive strike by the far left to eliminate the leadership on the right.

announcing the birth of the QUASI-CONSERVATIVE PARTY , with doctrine that falls somewhere between McCain and Palin, promising to appease the left by purging itself of the slightest hint of leftist opposition ....

Their new slogan will be "conservatism you can believe in"

Only "fair" to view the author, one, Kenneth P. Vogel.

~SNIP~

Kenneth P. Vogel – who goes by "Ken" when he's not in ostentatious reporter mode – tracks the confluence of money, politics and influence for POLITICO.

He’s analyzed politics on CBS, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, National Public Radio and radio and television stations around the country.

parsy has got to be on some list somewhere of fringe radicals.
