"Field, now that Mark Williams has been banned from the Tea Party, what do you have to say about yourself?
You might want to look up David Webb, a sharp brother who is a national spokesman for the Tea party. Your accusations, along with UTS are, as usual, WRONG!
You two owe the tea party a sincere apology. I'm waiting." ~An Anonymous poster at 4:35 p.m. today~
Well, I am glad you are waiting, but please don't hold your breath. That apology will not be coming.
Yes, I saw Mr. Webb jigging...I mean talking on Face The Nation, and the brother was quite interesting. "Fringe elements can be found in any movement", he said. Which is true. Yet I bet he would not give any movement who the NBP identify themselves with the same benefit of the doubt. Wouldn't they be considered a " fringe element" of any group? Ben Jealous was right to talk about -and to call out- the Council Of Conservative Citizens, but, unfortunately for him, unlike the conservatives, he doesn't have the number one cable network on television to air out his concerns.
"On "Face the Nation" today, NAACP President Benjamin Jealous said the convention in Missouri was addressing the issue of the Council of Conservative Citizens of St. Louis, "a group that says that black people are not equipped to participate in democracy."
Jealous said the Council was telling people "'Join the Tea Party, we're active in it, we have great influence' - that raised eyebrows."'
Yes they were. And my eyebrows -not to mention my middle finger- was raised.
"Jealous also pointed to instances of others claiming Tea Party affiliation or support making racist statements, and rally attendees carrying racist signs, such as Dale Robertson (a Tea Party organizer who appeared at a 2009 rally with an anti-Obama sign heralding the "N" word, though mis-spelled) .
Webb told anchor Bob Schieffer that Robertson "has been discredited and has been denounced and is not a Tea Party member."
Mr. Webb, at what point do your feet get tired? I know all that jigging is hard work. If you keep kicking out the folks who do stuff like this you are going to look around and find yourself all alone. Besides, you are a liar. To suggest that Mr. Williams was not a tea party leader is a flat out falsehood and you know it.
Still, to your credit, you did very publicly "suspend" Mr. Mark Williams. So I guess that's a start. Although I still have to wonder: is the Tea Party Federation the same as other tea party groups? And was he booted from other groups as well? Inquiring Negro minds want to know.
"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. "
