I have a suspicion that the Southern Poverty Law Center, whose head honcho is quoted in the Fox article, is the leftist organization behind that maneuver. They possibly gave Ready a few bucks, then got in touch with Fox News and had them interview him for a story. The SPLC has done some nefarious things in the past to promote its positions.
But this article is no attack on the Tea Party. In fact, the Tea party is not mentioned at all.
Agree with you. I stopped reading their article as soon as I saw “Southern Poverty Law Center.” imho, they’re a racist group. Check out their website to see exactly who they consider potential threats to domestic law and order. No Islamic jihidists need apply. Mostly white faces on their wall of shame. They’re leftist operatives, disguising themselves as “nonpartisans”. Just like FactCheck and the other “nonpartisan” factcheckers so frequently cited by the lazy, easily led lamestream media— ad nauseum.
