rb- I hate standing between the swords, but will do so in order to close our circle. I completely agree with you. This guy is a significant national figure in the Tea Party, like it or not. The best thing his group could do is demand he publically apologize AND remove him from his position. If they don't, it will look bad on their group and will give evidence to the fact that his Tea Party group does not value the freedom of religion baked into our Constitution. There's no way of denying that, any reasonable person can see it.
If you spent any time with the group I was in, I believe you would find them massively different than those at the national level. Sadly, the national level has been hijacked. The group I was in passed a collection plate as a means of getting enough money for printer cartridges to print news letters. It certainly had NO financial backing from the Kochs. It also spent a significant time at each meeting emphasizing that we needed to stay on message - which is dedicated to fiscal responsibility. The group is going strong, I just don't attend anymore. Again, I'm more focused on getting "my own house" in order.
