re: #484 agarrett

If you’d be so kind, could you give me an example of a mass movement you find sufficiently free of morons?

Now, you could quite reasonably take the position that you will avoid mass movements. Entirely consistent, possibly rational. You could try taking leadership positions only, which is harder in a group that, as of this time, does not have any such. Calling the tea party movement a group is itself stretching it, since (again at this point) it appears to be closer to a label that is being applied to a fairly large number of more local groupings.

So, continuing to shoot my mouth off, I’d prefer looking at what each local movement is doing. Some very well might be dominated by the people you mention, and I’d avoid those. Others are not. I’m quite happy associating with them.

The problem is, in general, none of the Tea Party groups have said much of anything about the “kooks” that are latching on to them. Tacit acceptance.

You know not what you are talking about.
