But it wasn't even foolish. It is the foolish perspective that the left has. I look at what he said and don't find anything wrong with it, this is along the same lines as that graduation card that the ACLU went after. God forbid someone PERCEIVE what someone said to mean something it doesn't. That is the bad part about email, text and blogs. You don't know the context of what someone said something, all you see are words where you are free to make your own determination of what they mean and you could be completely wrong.

I agree. What's amusing and perplexing is that some people are suggesting that the Montana Tea Party made this decision based on pressure from left-wingers. It's silly, really. If the Montana Tea Party makes their decisions based on what left-wingers want, then why would anyone want to join their organization, and what do they stand for?

yeah, but they felt it was in their best interest to get rid of him. it happens all the time when people are viewed as liabilities.
