This weekend is the first "Tea Party Convention" and they are OFF to a GREAT start!
"The opening-night speaker at first ever National Tea Party Convention ripped into President Obama, Sen. John McCain and "the cult of multiculturalism," asserting that Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country."
The political activist group holds its first party convention in Nashville.
The speaker, former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., told about 600 delegates in a Nashville, Tenn., ballroom that in the 2008 election, America "put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House ... Barack Hussein Obama."
"This is our country," he told the crowd. "Let's take it back." "

If they weren't so potentially influential I'd laugh them off.
Sadly, they are a very real (and very scary) threat.

Ah, Mr. Tancredo - one of Colorado's finest exports.

Posted: 2/5/10 at 11:20amIt's odd that they wrap themselves in the flag of the American Revolution- so many of their "Ideas" (Secession, literacy tests for voters) are right out of the Civil War.

Posted: 2/5/10 at 11:40amCNN did a special multi-part series on them. At first they were showing some relatively rational people, but by the end they were rolling out the crazies.
