Okay, I'm always open - what are examples of the Tea Party trying to shut people down for things they have said? And I'm not talking about criticizing people for their words, I'm talking about going after them to get them to shut up, to get them fired, to shut them down.
And please remember, I'll be able to counter with examples of my own, a long, long, long list of them.
.
The Pennsylvania Republican Senate race where Arlen Specter changed parties due to the TEA party backing the guy who would have been his opponent in the primary comes to mind. Specter was a moderate and the TEA party is anything except Moderate.
Well respected (I don't know much about the guy) Michael Castle, R-Delaware lost to batshit crazy Christine O'Donnell due almost exclusively to the TEA Pary backing.
Spector changed parties because he was going to lose in the primary. .
Gee, is there an echo in here?
