re: #418 McSpiff

I can’t speak for the rest of the country. But no. The tea parties started organizing after the Santelli rant. I met one of the organizers here in Dallas. The first tea party he organized was in February. He got on some conference call of activists. When they asked whether anyone from the DFW area was on the call. He replied yes. He was the only one and so he got designed as the organizer for the area. Glenn Beck saw the crowd gathering and decided to jump in front and take credit.
