That happened with another large Tea Party group.
When I spoke at a Tea Party in Fesno last summer on the first Tea Party Express tour my main message was for the attendees to look to their right and left to see who the leaders of the TPM are.
It's still true.
I know of the Tea Party Express, it is made up of a lot of recognizable groups from Conservative to Libertarian.
What the heck is the “Tea Party Federation”?
It would be helpful if TPX would avoid having their leaders try to be funny by invoking every racist stereotype they can think of, just to prove how “not racist” they are.
It’s not useful, and it just makes the rest of our jobs harder.
I cannot understand how some stupid accusation by one group can lead to the tea party people falling for the bait and adopting their lies as truth. But, hey, it worked. Props to the Left for that one.

I found this in my pings, Jim.My advice to Mark Williams and anyone else who wants to satirize the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is, unless your pen name is Mark Twain, don’t do it.
They satirize themselves perfectly well every damned day and don’t need our help.
Jealous and his racist/Marxist NAACP mob can KMA!!
Yes Mark is good at many things but satire isn't his strong point. Leave it to Sam, I agree!
I think his little fiasco will in the end be good for the Tea Party Movement as it brings the racist separatist policies of the NAACP more to the main stream news venue.
Well, to be fair, IowaHawk could pull it off. :->
Hear, hear.
It is starting to backfire.. on the Tea Party Federation’s Facebook page, several local Tea Parties are leaving messages like this:

In other words, I am authorized to make, for my group, a huge and disgusting Bronx cheer in the general direction of a certain Mr. David Webb.

The Dems often infiltrate and then work to divide and conquer. In this case the Federation is doing their work for them!!
Shame, shame, shame!
Didn’t Mark Williams say something really stupid on air about a year or so ago? I seem to remember that and lots of people here at FR saying “who the hell is Mark Williams?”
Maybe if he just shut up.
I do like it when he says I’m not the leader of the tea party, everyone is. Maybe if he just said that and then shut up it would help.
Great post Thanks!
Yeah, but Tea Party Express (and a lot of others) joined the ‘federation’.
So they can thank themselves for supporting petty officialdom.
Divide and conquer. I hope we don’t fall for the oldest trick in the game.
You are exactly right here, and this is the main thing we all need to keep focused on going forward. Our movement starts at the local and county level and goes up from there. Our leadership starts from God, the founders, and our families and goes out from there. Even if we win back both houses of Congress for the GOP in November, if we then go back to blindly trusting our "leaders" (like we so foolishly have done in the past) then our beloved country will continue to be undermined by the same sort of self-seeking statists who have already lead us to the brink of insolvency.
Too many cooks
Well there's the problem right there. Rotten grass stinks from the beginning.
"I do like it when he says I’m not the leader of the tea party, everyone is."
At some point though, leaders must, and will emerge. Those who wish to lead must demonstrate a clean past and unquestioned resistance to forces which will turn their heads when they are elected. Trent Lott has already said that when conservative people come to Washington D.C. they need to be co-opted. Conservative people need to go to Washington D.C. and punish the SOROS Republicans and sweep all Democrats from power forever.
