Anti-Mosque crusader gets kicked out of the Tea Party

It's a sad day for the Tea Party.

First they get excoriated in the pages of the Staten Island Advance and now this:

Mark Williams, the emblematic leader of Tea Party Express, has been booted from Tea Party Federation - apparently the more important group - just because he wrote one little epically offensive, feeble attempt at satire.

Before we delve in the contents of his screed, we want to mention why Mr. Williams is so important in the front against all-things-non-white-and-or-upper-middle-class: he is the crusader of the anti-mosque campaign in Lower Manhattan, the one which happened around the same time Midland Beach had their own mini-anti-mosque campaign.

You see, the Islamophobes in Lower Manhattan want to protect the hallowed environs of ground zero, and the Midland Beach Islamophobes want to protect (idk) the hallowed environs of old gentleman's club on the corner of Father Capodanno.

Here's what the Patriot Mr. Williams (whose radio show is based out of Sacramento, CA) said about the situation at ground zero:

Williams said the proposed mosque would let Muslims "worship the terrorists' monkey-god" and he labeled Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer a "Jewish Uncle Tom who would have turned rat on Anne Frank."

Genuine class, this guy. A real leader among the mindless Fox aficionados who rail against all-which-they-do-not-understand.

But, Williams seems to have really gone overboard with his latest antic, a pitiful racist diatribe that can only be cast off as the rantings of a man so utterly enshrined in his own echo chamber of fear-mongering hate speech that he can no longer reason at a functional clip.

The screed (since removed from his Web site) was a fictitious letter from Ben Jealous, the current (real) President of the NAACP, to former (long-dead) President Abraham Lincoln.

"Mr. Lincoln, you were the greatest racist ever," the letter reads. "We had a great gig. Three squares, room and board, all our decisions made by the massa in the house.

"We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!"

(speechless)

Thing is, Mark Williams has not apologized but has embraced this offensive nonsense. He thinks it's right and somehow justified.

After a few days of this garbage floating around The National Tea Party Federation actually had to come out and repudiate the man as "toxic" and excommunicate him from the overall Tea Party.

Here's what Tea Party spokesman David Webb said on CBS's "Face the Nation"

"We have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote."

So, he's gone. But what now? What happens to Mark Williams moving on and what happens to others who spout bigotry and hatred?

What is the "Tea Party" anyway? A national Republican offshoot, or this guy?

If it's all about less government and low taxes then stick to the script and stop the hate-mongering. And stop using hot-button issues as a tool to rile people up and get them latched to your fringes causes.
