The tea party true believers are increasingly suspicious that the establishment GOP is trying to co-opt the movement (and probably for good reason). But things seem to be coming to a head over a for-profit “National Tea Party Convention” slated to be held next month in Nashville, featuring Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann. Meanwhile, the convention organizers say their website is being overrun by liberals trying to “offend, disrupt and interfere” with their efforts, by among other things uploading porn to the site. So fun times all the way around in tea party land.
