POLITICAL INSIDER: Michelle Obama asks for cash
Any insight on Ms Deborah Johns? ...your thoughts?
I smell BULLSHIT!
Any idea why she is “former vice-chair”, unless it’s just that moving to NC would make the commute a challenge?
A vote for democrat Mike McIntyre is a vote for Pelosi.
It would be better to endorse NOBODY if the (R) candidate is flawed.
Ms. Johns was terminated last year by the Tea Party Express for cause. Pantano campaign makes it clear that she has absolutely no involvement with the tea party activities of the Tea Party Express, nor will she ever in the future.
Ms. Johns was similarly terminated from her position with Combat Veterans for Congress and no longer is associated with their organization as well.
Deborah Johns is a big supporter of former candidate Will Breazeale, a 2-bit fraudster who got pissed off about losing the primary to Pantano, endorsed McIntyre, and runs around calling Pantano a murderer.
Disgusting piece of filth.
Any nutjob who starts out with the premise that the tea parties have leadership deserves only ridicule fo their screed.
This is the trouble with the Tea Party having “Leaders”.
One goes rogue by doing something like this and the MSM jumps all over it.
Two enemies of the US and the American people were shot by an American soldier. Well isn’t that just too bad. Apply the rules of political correctness to WAR and we had better simply phone in our LOSS right up front.

Deborah Johns: “terminated last year by the Tea Party Express for cause”
October 5th, 2010 5:49 am ET
A handful of newspapers had quite the field day shouting from the rooftops that Deborah Johns, former Vice Chair of the Tea Party Express, has not only endorsed Mike McIntyre’s run for his eighth term in Congress, but she has also attacked the GOP challenger, Ilario Pantano, with statements such as “That is not a war hero,” and”It is people like that that give all our military a bad name.”
Just for the record, Pantano not once ever claimed to be a “war hero.” Only his detractors state that. Pantano simply states that he is a two war veteran.
But nonetheless, The Tea Party Express has just sent the following Press Release to me for publication;

Tea Party Express Clarifies Role of Former Vice Chair, Deborah Johns
Several news media outlets today reported on Deborah Johns’ decision to oppose the candidacy of Republican congressional candidate (and Iraq war veteran) Ilario Pantano and cited Ms. Johns former role as Vice Chair of the Tea Party Express.
Ms. Johns was terminated last year by the Tea Party Express for cause. We do not agree with her views regarding Mr. Pantano one bit. We wish to make it clear that she has absolutely no involvement with the tea party activities of the Tea Party Express, nor will she ever in the future.
It is our understanding that Ms. Johns was similarly terminated from her position with Combat Veterans for Congress and no longer is associated with their organization as well.
We find Ms. Johns’ comments towards a proud Iraq war veteran abhorrent and reprehensible. They do not speak for our organization nor reflect our views in any way, shape or form.
Mrs. Obama, who enjoys high popularity and is an in-demand guest on the campaign trail, also plans a call with activists Wednesday, hoping to re-ignite the enthusiasm that elevated a freshman senator to the presidency.
“Now, Barack and I need you to help show that energy again,” Mrs. Obama wrote.
“Barack can’t keep making progress without strong allies in Congress,” she wrote. “And now the same people who’ve opposed us at every turn are targeting the folks who voted to make change real. They think we can’t do it again. But they’re wrong.”
I’ll bet she has a big comrade zero pin in her jewelry box.
“A leading tea party activist broke ranks Monday to endorse Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, expressing concern about a Republican challenger who was once charged with murder in connection with his military service in Iraq.”
So the guy was fighting in a war for the USA and was charged with murder? Apparently he was cleared and is an innocent man, otherwise he wouldn’t be running for office. How many other INNOCENT SERVICEMEN have been charged with trumped up murder charges in Iraq and have been proven innocent?
