There is not such thing as a tea party MEMBER. The tea party has no defined membership. It is the same as saying you are a member of the KISS ARMY.

It was predictable that this thread would lead to a 'which side of the political debate is worse?' contest.

Some idiot was put away and rightly so. That's'all there is to it.

They won't get it nor will they pay attention, I assure you this guy didn't have his "TEA PARTY MEMBERSHIP CARD" in his wallet when he was arrested.

If they find a Blockbuster video membership card in his pocket, will they say that Blockbuster members are violent?

This guy was obviously a bit deranged and totally in the wrong.

But there wasn't a Tea Party in 2009 when this happened.

If he now claims to be of the Tea Party, it's come later on, and it's only his claim (*) which has nothing to do with his act of violence.

Your typical Tea Party group wouldn't want anyone like him attending any of their functions.


* who testified he considers himself a tea party member

Anyone know how many years the guy who beat up Kenneth Gladney got? How about the guy who bit off the finger of a Tea Party supporter?

Well Kenneth Gladney doesn't matter because he's a black conservative and to the media he's basically imaginary.

Self-identification.
Same as christers, etc.

There are people on CD who claim to be TBers.
Are you calling them liars?
