"We, in the last 24 hours, have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," federation spokesman David Webb said Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation."
Williams wrote the blog post, which has since been taken down, in response to a resolution adopted by the NAACP accusing Tea Party leaders of tolerating racism within the movement.
Dear Mr. Lincoln," began Williams' letter.
We Coloreds have taken a vote and decided that we don't cotton to that whole emancipation thing. Freedom means having to work for real, think for ourselves, and take consequences along with the rewards. That is just far too much to ask of us Colored People and we demand that it stop!
Webb called the blog post "clearly offensive."
Rightardia is happy that the "Tea party"s starting to discipline some of its racists members after denying the overt racism.
It is also clear the Tea party is simply a re-branding of the GOP. There is no difference between a Tea Partier and and plain ol' Republican according to the Gallup Poll.

The National Tea Party Federation has expelled conservative commentator and Tea Party Express spokesman Mark Williams over a fictional letter Williams wrote on his blog last week from "Colored People" to Abraham Lincoln.
