Rival Tea Official Likens TEA Party to 'Nazis Disguised as Americans'

 

Everett Wilkinson, director of the South Florida Tea Party, is turning up the heat on that "other" TEA Party.

"Doug Guetzloe and Fred O'Neal have NEVER had anything to do with the tea party movement. I am one of the original founders going back to February '09 and the chairman of both the South Florida Tea Party, Florida Tea Party and state coordinator for Tea Party Patriots," said Wilkinson, who is based in Palm Beach Gardens.

"This fight is not over a name, but rather the hijacking of our movement. It is similar to when the Nazis disguised as Americans tried to break our lines in World War II.

"They formed the fake political tea party without our consent or input. Not one of the over-85 tea party groups in Florida is or has ever been associated with them."

Wilkinson, who accompanied Bill McCollum last Friday during the attorney general's filing for the GOP gubernatorial primary, has put up a Web site to combat the TEA Party.

Further blurring the nomenclature of the rival "tea" groups, Wilkinson added, "The official state Web site for the tea party movement is FloridaTeaParty.com."

The Florida Tea Party has on its website a 10 point pledge, that any and all candidates for office must adhere to. If you don't think that it represents your political philosophy, DON'T VOTE FOR THEM! If you want to go out to the street corner and hold up your signs, go right ahead. But, what is the end game? Over time the publicity will die down, and end up with the same old rinos running things. The Florida Tea Party is actually trying to change the political landscape from the inside.

I wondered where this fake tea party came from. Grayson and dems are nuts! The real Florida Tea Party has been successful at getting laws passed to protect our health care and balance the budget. Next we need to vote out Grayson and kick out his jack booted thugs (aka donut covered guetzloe)
