CNN) -- The National Tea Party Federation, an organization that represents the Tea Party political movement around the country, has expelled conservative commentator Mark Williams and his Tea Party Express because of an inflammatory blog post he wrote, federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday.
Appearing on the CBS program "Face the Nation," Webb said that Williams and the Tea Party Express -- which has held a series of events across the country to generate support for the movement -- no longer were part of the National Tea Party Federation.
"We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," Webb said of the blog post by Williams that satirized a fictional letter from what he called "Colored People" to President Abraham Lincoln.
Webb called the blog post "clearly offensive."

“Maybe this is not too hard for TPX to read...
This tweet is from the LVS’s Ralston, who is Reid’s beeeatch!...
http://twitter.com/RalstonFlash NV Dems ecstatic over Tea Party Express expulsion, want Angle to distance herself from NAACP-hater Mark Williams, return TPX $. Easy shot. 28 minutes ago via TweetDeck”
I remember us discussing Ralston before- how right you were about that POS! Thanks for the new info.
I think if I were her, I would say something to the effect of, “When Barack Obama went on Jay Leno and made his offensive crack about “bowling like he was in the Special Olympics”, nobody in the MSM called him on it; instead he had (supposedly) a personal phone call with the Shriver Family (the Kennedy-Shriver clan of the Special Olympics) to discuss what he said. So, that is along the lines of what I think Mark Williams should do with say, Michael Steele. Now, let’s get on to the important issues, like Nevada’s 14% unemployment rate under Harry Reid...”
Oh, and another thing:
Sharron Angle vs. Harry “No Negro Dialect” Reid
People in glass houses, Dingy Harry (and your little lapdog Ralston)...
Bumping your post.
However, I will note that the TEA Party is experiencing growing pains.
Everything is baby steps at this point.
That being said, this letter was not helpful.
Good points in 102 and 103 also!
We have no officers,no headquarters, no plans to be a third political Party.
Organizations can be hijacked and infiltrated which is why We The People are so threatening. We are held together by our love of this country, not by mission statements,bylaws etc etc...
God Bless America
my thoughts exactly. I get regular emails from TPX and it seems they have been very effective targeting Reid and raising money for Angle. The left is probably beside themselves as they now believe they have shut down that machine.
