South Florida Tea Party changing name

[Cyrano]

Part of the south FL tea party has broken off and changed it's name to the National Liberty Federation. They think they have a "communications failure." They refuse to understand that the problem is not their message, it's their beliefs. Their name change is just a paint job.

Here's the link to The Palm Beach Post.

1. Lipstick on a pig.

Now where have I heard that phrase before?

[jsr]

2. "Liberty" = RW

9. "Liberty" in their name? Yeah, but not for *you*.

They want the 'liberty' to impose their fucked-up religion, even more fucked-up morals, insane economic policies, xenophobia, bigotry and racist views on everyone else without any impediments.

3. Just glancing at the new name tells one it's a RW operative. They just don't

get how F'ed up they are ...

4. Maybe we're starting to see the demise of the tea party.

They're losing their cohesion and this step in Florida along with the disorganization at Freedomworks makes me think the losses of the last election have taken a toll. Hallelujah!

7. Yep. They'll go the way of the Know Nothing Party

which existed for a while in the 1850s. The Know Nothings were a nativist party and were against the Irish, the Germans, Catholics and immigration in general.

5. Spray perfume on a pile of dog crap...<sniff>...Yep, it's still dog crap.

8. hee hee hee

I was able to convince my republican ex-husband to vote for Murphy in November....

Just began reading "America's Stolen Narrative" by Robert Parry....these people would benefit from reading it.

11. you're assuming they can read and comprehend.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

15. That's just cruel...

[KG]

10. RW definition of 'Liberty' = privilege

[Cyrano]

13. The ACLU is the only

legitimate usage of the term "liberty" I can think of.

[Ganja Ninja]

12. Why not just go back to their old name.

Ku Klux Klan.

[Cyrano]

14. And don't forget the John Birch Society

which is just as dangerous and insane as the Klan. One of the Koch brothers is a backer of the John Birch Society.
