Wausau Tea Party guest disinvited...
Edited on Thu Apr-08-10 06:10 PM by Archae
I guess his racism and being buddy-buddy with Roy Moore is too hot a topic for the Tea Partiers.

An Alabama author, who's spoken to white supremacists who believe slavery is ordained by God, will no longer appear at a Wausau tea party rally next week as originally planned.

John Eidsmoe was scheduled to appear at the same event next week alongside Jefferson County Circuit Judge Randy Koschnick.

Koschnick complained to the rally's organizer after being presented with information about Eidsmoe's background by The Associated Press. Wausau tea party organizer Meg Ellefson says she was also upset and called Eidsmoe on Thursday.

1. Who says smalltown politics isn't interesting?
The local TP leader now says a friend recommended the Alabama racist. What with all the Tea Party events coming up on April 15th apparently all the local Wisconsin racists were already booked.

One of the 4/9/10 Wausau paper accounts:
