National Tea Party Federation kicked out the TPE, right? The TPE was organized out of Washington, right? By Dick Army, right? I’ve always been suspect of it.

Your post appears to be Alinskite to Separate out Skoda, Isolate him and then Destroy him. Let’s assume that it’s not. Do you have more information? I’d like to know more about the TPE and Skoda.

He’s not on any ballot in Memphis/Shelby County that’s for sure. And yes he is well informed, a strong conservative, and does not have a face for TV.

This sounds like some disgruntled person personal blogging.

Kristinn, I simply ADORE you!

Skoda is such a sleaze, it's disturbing. He held the first conference call trying to get people to join his self-serving "federation" right before Easter where he LIED via email and on the call by claiming that Breitbart was supporting him. That's just one of the many deceiving things he has done, other than taking credit for things others have done...

It's time for the ones in his "federation" to learn the truth about this man and rebuke him as the opportunist he's proven himself to be!!!

Actually, Skoda's first attempts to form the "federation" were based on blatant lies and they were proven to be so, from his claims of support from Breitbart to support from the Nationwide Tea Party Coalition. He knows everything there is to be known about rebuke and removal .

You are correct, and he was very involved in organizing that convention, which I thought was a worthwhile event. While we may disagree with Mark on this issue, labeling him “an Alinsky Leftist” as some are doing is patently absurd.

Oh, please. TPE has done a great job, and I do support the group. I don’t see anyone from TPE declaring themselves king of the tea parties and deeming any one member unworthy—as the guy in this case has done. Reminds me too much of Obama tactics to suit me.

Can someone explain to me why having radio talk show hosts as leaders of the Tea Party is wrong?

Because the Tea Party has no leaders. It is individual dissent aimed at a grand goal of effecting real change.

I'd recognize JimRob as a leader of the Tea Party before this Skoda guy. Whoever he is.

“We should just loudly and repeatedly reject those claims”

Or better yet, just ignore them, since we know they are untrue and distracting from the issues is the left’s goal.

Agreed. United we stand, divided we fall.
This sounds like an attempt to divide.

Mark Williams wrote something that was stone cold stupid. Wether or not anyone really had the pull to fire him from anything is my question. I always considered the TEA party kind of a loose collection of like minded volunteers.

Mark Skoda, co-founder of the National Tea Party Federation, does not represent the Tea Party Express.

I’m just going to keep posting this everywhere I can until people see it and understand:

The Tea Party Express does not recognize the National Tea Party Federation.

The Tea Party movement is not represented by the NTPF.
The tea party is not another political party. It is a group of like-minded individuals who have similar goals, ideals and objectives.

It’s a movement that calls for changes - smaller limited government, drastically reduced gov’t. spending, less taxes, a secure border, state’s rights, strong national defense. We want our basic freedoms and liberties protected including gun ownership, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and protection of our property rights.

We are comprised of persons from all political venues, from all parts of the country, from all races and genders, all ages with the above issues special to our hearts foremost in our minds as we start the process of cleaning house.

Cleaning house the likes of which has never been seen. On both sides of the aisle. We don’t have the time or the desire to fight amongst ourselves. Our focus should be laser sharp and pointed at any element in any area of government that does not represent the Constitution or the freedom of American people

Either the libs don’t understand this, or they do understand it and are trying to shove us into a round hole in order to demonize the movement. It’s hard to do that to a faceless group of people.

He’s a good conservative, smart as you can get and speaks well.
I have no problems with Skoda and doubt he’s running for anything, he’s got a face for radio.


So he admits that the NAACP accusation of racism is correct and he expels TPE and Williams and thereby identifies them as racists. This is more damage than Williams could ever do by anything he says. Anyone who knows Mark Williams or has been a listener of his programs, knows he is a staunch conservative and is not a racist. Skoda and his friends have given a big victory to NAACP, and one which they will not be satisfied with. They have also told every tea party person that there is no freedom of speech in the tea party federation. If Skoda thinks he has improved the movement by getting rid of TPE, he is mistaken. What he has done is what Republicans do so well, organize a circular firing squad.

Bad leadership is worse than no leadership. Skoda and his associates need to step down and let the tea party be the headless monster that the political parties are so afraid of.
