Amazingly, Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) manages to write a puff piece for the Wall Street Journal about the National Tea Party Convention in Nashville without even mentioning Tom Tancredo’s racist call to bring back literacy tests or Joseph Farah’s Birther/theocrat speech and resulting standing ovation.

How is it possible to be that blind to the huge elephant of bad craziness in the room? Like this: Glenn Harlan Reynolds: What I Saw at the Tea Party Convention.

This is why the extremists have had such an easy time taking over the tea party movement — people like Glenn Reynolds are determined to pretend they don’t even exist.
