Cups are flying, over at the Tea Party (as of Aug 1)

This is just a heads-up, to those who might otherwise have missed it (and who care to attend these things) - in the comments on this post at Rebane's blog, there's internecine warfare and shattered porcelain all over.
Names invoked: Mandy Morello, Laura Boatright, Larry Naritelli, Dave Kern, Stan Meckler, Mark Meckler...

(h/t Jeff Pelline, or one of his commenters)

That is all.

  1. Woohoo. Is this some kind of weird contest to see which bunch of right-wing extremists is the most extremist of them all? If so, I think I like it that way...

New policy re climate contrarianism comments as of 11/11/2009:
Comments questioning the climate science community's understanding of climate change (97% of active climatologists now believe that the earth is currently warming and that it's human-caused - link) will be deleted unless the commenter:
a) is local
b) uses his real name
c) provides link(s) to substantiate his claim(s)/inference(s)
d) is willing to collaborate on constructing an argument tree, to get us past the usual sterile point-counterpoint-countercounterpoint.
(For people who can't read the above, a summary:
1) Be civil;
2) Don't post w/o giving at least a pseudonym;
3) Don't espouse climate-denial crankery unless you're local and willing to stand behind it.)

Caveats:
1. Comments could be delayed: they are being moderated, and I'm sometimes away from the computer for a day or more.
2. : Perfectly legitimate comments are sometimes miscategorized (by the blogging platform) as spam, & not published. If this happens to yours, please notify me, else I might not notice for a day or two.
