One of the most popular speakers at recent Tea Party functions has been political commentator Angela McGlowan, but a recent radio interview is causing some concern among conservatives that Tea Party organizers may have once again been bamboozled.
In the interview McGlowan, who recently announced plans to run for Congress, passionately defended her belief that gun owners ought to be forced to list all of their guns on their 1040 tax forms each year because she says the government should know how many guns we have. In that same interview, she also seemed to hint that she supports some form of Obamacare and even went as far as to pull out the race card in suggesting that conservatives are looking to create a race war or something.
Making matters worse, McGlowan's past campaign donations are also causing concern.
In 2005, so-called conservative Angela McGlowan gave a $500 campaign contribution to California Democratic Congressman Xavier Beccera.
Becerra has an F rating from the NRA; 100% ratings from Planned Parenthood and NARAL; 0% ratings from National Right to Life; 0% ratings from Americans for Tax Reform; an F rating from National Taxpayers Union; 100% ratings from the ACLU; 0% ratings from the American Family Association and 5% ratings from the Family Research Council; and 100% ratings from the AFL-CIO and the SEIU.
Examples such as this are yet another sign that Tea Party organizers really need to do a better job of vetting their speakers. The Debra Medina embarrassment last week gives progressives an easy target to exploit. As we move closer to the 2010 mid-terms, Tea Party leaders should be using this time to aggressively vet all potential speakers, organizers, candidates, and organizational leaders.
Yup, point out the clowns who are clearly making the same mindless mistakes as the GOP.
ReplyDeleteThere's absolutely no excuse for this when backgrounds are so easily performed.
Isn't she on Hannity all the time? Maybe he should ask some hardball questions of her.
