re: #542 Nekama

Charles, in all candor, the majority of people going to these Tea Party events aren’t going there because they care about the opinions of the organizers. They are going because they are disgusted with the state of our country in general and angry at Obama in particular.

That may be true. However, it’s simply a fact that the majority of tea party protests are now being organized and promoted by extreme right wing groups like the Campaign for Liberty — Ron Paul’s organization. The Ron Paul crowd is everywhere in these protests — they organize, fund, and supply speakers. And when you start digging into the further connections, you find groups like the John Birch Society also deeply involved.

I want nothing to do with tea parties. I know way too much about who’s behind them, and I absolutely refuse to support people like that.
