you guys are gettin way off the mark here.
Spences responses are based on his analysis and understanding - which, to his credit, are more than 95% of the people who viewed this article. the article does not show both sides - it clearly combines right wing and tea party. Clearly!
Think Im wrong? Spend 5 minutes and READ THE COMMENTS. People are buying into it. This is the attack boys. The dems are afraid of the tea party. People smarter than us cluster in a room and think of how they can damage the tea party movement, its their jobs to do this. So the plan? NAACP sends out a message highlighting the racism of the tea party (think about it, why? Why not some other organizations?), media highlights the extreme (see my picture above), media ties the tea party (which is NOT a unified group, so really impossible to tie since each group is different) to the right wing.
This is planned. The repubs do it too.
But you cant talk to a liberal without them foaming at the mouth about Fox news, it goes both ways!

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all

Then they (the most prominent Tea-partiers) need to endorse non-"right wing" candidates. otherwise, the link is self-evident.

Just picking someone who isn't the status quo isn't a political platform IMHO....

ever think that maybe your definition of "right wing" and "non-right wing" might be different than that of most tea party goers? seems to me they've been consistent supporting the candidates that most closely match up to those principles listed earlier particularly versus the alternatives...just picking someone with a dubious record who you know will be status quo that you think will surely win and get you committee chairmanships shouldn't be a political platform either ...maybe they should occasionally support a "left-wing" candidate just to be fair and placate the media and others
