Reply #33: TEABAGGERS = MINUTEMAN! They are the same group. They just changed their name.

The IREHR report documented several examples of Minuteman leaders morphing into Tea Party figures. Among them:

Eight state chapter leaders of the Patriot Action Network (The IREHR report refers to Resistnet, which has morphed into Patriot Action Network), the second largest Tea Party group in the country, are former state chapter leaders of either the Minuteman Project or the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
Tea Party Express event organizer Kristinn Taylor is the former media spokesperson for the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
The two leaders of TeaParty.org (also known as 1776 Tea Party) transitioned into their roles directly from top leadership positions with the Minuteman Project. TeaParty.org head Stephen Eichler was the executive director of the Minuteman Project and Tea Party.org co-director Tim Bueler was its media director before they assumed control of Tea Party.org in the fall of 2009. Bueler is also the publicist for birther and North American Union conspriacist Jerome Corsi. The IHRER report describes Tea Party.org as "the one national faction most directly connected to the Minuteman Project and the anti-immigrant movement."<snip>

NO Democrat, Liberal or Progressive should be supporting the Teabaggers participating in ANYTHING we do.
