THE BAGGERS HAVE SOME CONTRADICTIONS

(via Politico)

It's hard to believe that someone would pay $560 just to hear Palin and Bachmann spout kraziness, especially when the Tea Partiers are supposed to be just "average Joes." From the article:

Tea Party Nation, a for-profit company that runs a social networking website for activists and is now selling tickets — at $560 a pop — to what it’s billing as the “First National Tea Party Convention,” has also come under fire from activists.

“A lot of these folks are not in a great financial position to begin with. It’s one of the reasons that they’re out protesting is because they’re feeling the pain,” he said, adding that too much of an emphasis on raising money “could potentially harm the movement, because it’s a premature national initiative that doesn’t have the support of the majority of we the people.”
