Well, as one Freeper put it, sounds like Christina Botteri has her Miss Bossy Pants on. And by the way, since when is the tea party a “national” organization?
Good grief. Some people feel they just gotta be important and get out ahead of the crowd and play “Follow the Leader“.
Reminds me of some Homeowners Associations I’ve been acquainted with. Frikkin gestapos with their pissy panties all in a wad. To wit:

Tea Party Express Is No Longer a Member of the National Tea Party Federation
The National Tea Party Federation | 17 Jul 2010 | Christina Botteri
Effective Immediately, Tea Party Express Is No Longer a Member of the National Tea Party Federation
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2010 at 3:43pm
Last night, the members of the National Tea Party Federation participating in an “All Hands” conference call unanimously decided the following:
The membership of the National Tea Party Federation has this evening suspended and will immediately expel Tea Party Express from any further association with the Federation should they fail to publicly rebuke Mark Williams and remove him from their ranks by 3 pm eastern time Saturday July 17.
The rebuke must take the following form:
1. Mark Williams must be officially removed from the ranks of the Tea Party Express.
2. Notice of Mark Williams’ removal must be placed prominently on the official Tea Party Express website.
3. Tea Party Express must issue a press release articulating points 1 and 2 above.

Last night, a member of the National Tea Party Federation communicated our decision directly to a member of the leadership team of Tea Party Express. That leader’s response was clear: they have no intention of taking the action we required for their group to continue as a member of the National Tea Party Federation.
Therefore, effective immediately the National Tea Party Federation is expelling Tea Party Express from the ranks of our membership.

To read my previous post on the subject: Lloyd Marcus and Mark Williams take on the NAACP
Just why I don’t pay to much attention to the NTPF. I get their emails just to keep in touch with what they are doing.
This is all we need: one group telling another what they can and can’t do.
Sounds like NTPF has drunk too much of the KA and has nibbled on the corn.
Good grief for sure, just what the Democrats want, in fighting.
We are NOT a 3RD Party! Remember what we stand for? It’s the CONSTITUTION STUPIT, SMALLER GOVERNMENT, FISCAL RESPONSIBALITY!
That said, we must ALL respond to unwarrented charges, such as RACISM Etc. & police the RADICALS within, and when we RALLY ask them to take their racism, homophobe, offensive rhetoric somewhere else.. The Saul Alinskys out there want to discredit us & split our votes. We can disagree in the PREMARIES, but must stand firmally behind the CANIDATE to take back the HOUSE!
Divide and conquer…
But will it work?
This stuff is so counter productive.
If even the Tea Party demands politically correct self-censorship, there is no hope. At least, the Tea Party Express seems to be standing up to the PC police.
Eric.
This is just what the Democtrats want. Division in our ranks!I am a Tea Party member here in Alamogordo New Mexico. I know what I stand for and I believe in the TEA Party’s ideals. What and who is the National Tea Party Federation? and who appointed them over the affairs of the TEA Party Express? And for God’s sake why can’t these people grow up and have a back bone? It seems to me that they are Obama supporters. Wolves in sheep clothing. They are so scared of offending any one. Stop the whining!
