Tea Party Email Warns Members: Beware Liberal Trolls Like Rachel Maddow

[dcsmart]

Tea partiers beware: "You can and will be banned for being a liberal."

Organizers behind the upcoming Tea Party Nation convention we wrote about this morning told members today that MSNBC's Rachel Maddow tried to join the group and "we banned her 7 minutes after she joined."

The subject line was "Liberal Troll Alert!"

4. We asked MSNBC's Rachel Maddow for a response

...and she suggests the idea is so ridiculous they made it up as a publicity stunt.

"...I understand the strategy of using the name of a well-known person to try to get publicity," Maddow told TPMDC in an email..."I'm flattered the Tea Party folks think I'm well known enough to help their cause..."

Well, since anyone can join any e-mail list under any name, I'm more inclined to believe that it was actually someone else's idea of a joke, because the Tea baggers aren't smart enough be capable of strategizing!
