Except that -is- how it works, and no, the Minutemen are not organizationally like the Tea Party. The Minutemen have/had a roster of members, a formalized leadership, etc. They were/are a distinct and organized group. So were Citizen's Border Patrol, etc. The two people known to have been responsible for that attack were thrown out of the Minutemen, formally and "for cause," because of their insistence on violence. They were the "INLA," if you like, to the Minuteman's OIRA; an extremely radicalized splinter movement that the original group which ejected them wanted nothing to do with. Stop trying to rewrite history.

Anarcho-Socialists, Anarcho-Syndicalists, various sorts of Georgist, any of these ring a bell?

Wait! I thought you said he was a libertarian? How can he possibly have been both? Do you even know what a populist -is-, and what positions they've taken in the past? I'll give you a starting point from my own native home, one Huey P. Long.

I notice you didn't try to explain away Scott Roederm, Richard Poplawski, or Jim D. Adkisson.

Because I see no need to expend energy defending the indefensible nor explaining the inexplicable. They were right-wing nutballs, case closed.
