Trouble brewing in Tea Party Nation..

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/01/tea_party_nation_speaks_out_we_never_did_this_to_b.php

Sherry Phillips wrote a long email to members of the Tea Party Nation mailing list titled "Setting The Record Straight."

Phillips said organizers were encouraged to speak out against the "intense media scrutiny and attacks by former members" but she stayed silent so as not to further divisions "that are already hurting this movement."

"We will stay silent no longer," she wrote.

She goes into detail about convention sponsors American Liberty Alliance, American Majority and Campaign for Liberty, and said the Tea Party Express only withdrew because of their push to unseat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada.

She calls out "former Tea Party Nation members" for "discussing their association with liberal media outlets" and "conspiring" to harm TPN and the convention.

4. reminds me of a Rolling Stone story from mid 70's
A fbi undercover agent had infiltrated the American Indian Movement and attended a meeting in Minneapolis where he and about a forty other attendees realized THEY WERE ALL WORKING FOR jay edgar!
Can one imagine the number of mt heads in a hideous farce like the 'tea parteh' movement? All rightwingers are rats by nature...hahaha

when reading about the travails of the Reich and their proles.
