re: #167 Charles

What I mean by it is on display right here in this thread. We’ve had two meltdowns today already, because I’m not willing to just shut up about what I see as a real problem.

Those people are showing up with Ron Paul t-shirts and signs because they feel welcome.

What I’m not sure of here; is your position “just stay away from the tea parties, because they’re overrun with kooks”; or “we should do X to keep the tea parties from being overrun with kooks”? If the latter, what exactly is that “X”?

(Just drawing on my own experience today; I hardly felt I had the right to shout “GET OUT OF THIS RALLY!” at the RP t-shirt wearers.)
