2) Tea Party Express has been most active IMHO
3) who voted and put anyone in charge of any tea party org? I didn't, and there is a bazillion tea party offshoots... I think this started to come off the rails when they held that damned convention earlier this year.
That convention was really stupid.
You are correct, AC. See my post #79 and the links contained therein.
The bad thing here is that these people have just admitted that tea party people are racists. They admitted it by throwing out one of its member groups. They identified who it was and they gave a good indication that freedom of speech is not included in their vision of returning to living under the Constitution.
They have given the democrats a big victory when none was deserved. Tea party groups should abandon this bunch of clowns.
