Secrets of the Tea Party: The Troubling History of Tea Party Leader Dick Armey
From Truthout:

As the Tea Party movement has gained momentum during the last 12 months, it seems few Tea Partiers have caught on to the troubling past of the man at the center of their movement: FreedomWorks chairman, former House Majority Leader and recently-retired lobbyist extraordinaire, Dick Armey.
As chairman of FreedomWorks, the group credited with mobilizing the Tea Party movement, Armey is the movement’s de facto leader. Yet Armey’s years spent lobbying for a group recognized by the State Department as being a terrorist organization–should give Tea Partiers pause.

terrorism and tyranny. This makes me wonder if there is actually
something good about the Tea Partiers.
