All my Navy shirts are blue. The only time we have a red shirt friday is for the Chiefs and as bad as they are doing not many are doing that.

Splintered and infighting? Who could have imagined? Even more surprising is the claim that there is little management experience within the fractured group. It all sounded so dreamy a few short months ago.

Disagreements over those issues have spawned personal and institutional rivalries, at least one highly contentious lawsuit and — perhaps most significantly — resulted in the splintering of local, regional and national groups into a patchwork of hundreds of smaller groups that occasionally seem to be working at cross-purposes.

“These groups don’t play as well together as they should,” said Kevin Jackson, a St. Louis-based conservative author and activist who has spoken at dozens of tea party-type rallies and is traveling across the South with a convoy sponsored by the national Tea Party Patriots group.

“They’re fractured at the organization level, I think mainly because there are a lot of people who have not had managerial experience who all of a sudden are thrust into the limelight and become intoxicated with it. And when a potential rift comes up, instead of handling it and maybe agreeing to disagree, they splinter and go off on their own.”

The only people we hate more than the Democrats are the Teabagging Popular People’s Front…. Splitters!

Who could have predicted that the Teabaggers would start going Lord of the Flies on each other:

After emerging out of nowhere over the summer as a seemingly potent and growing political force, the tea party movement has become so rife with internal feuding over philosophy, strategy and money that some supporters fear it will disintegrate before realizing its full potential.

Disagreements over those issues have spawned personal and institutional rivalries, at least one highly contentious lawsuit and — perhaps most significantly — resulted in the splintering of local, regional and national groups into a patchwork of hundreds of smaller groups that occasionally seem to be working at cross-purposes.

In Myrtle Beach, S.C., disputes within the local tea party about how much to engage in partisan politics and whether board members were profiting from contracts to print paraphernalia emblazoned with the group’s logo prompted the treasurer to resign and join with defectors from a North Carolina “We the People” group to form a new organization.

“There’s a lot of fighting, and everyone wants to be in charge, and that’s why you have so many splinter groups,” said the ex-treasurer Janet Spencer, who charged her adversaries within the tea party with saying “derogatory things about me that were very unprofessional.”

She said her new group, called Patriotic Voices of America/Carolina Patriots, counts about 100 members and will not coordinate with the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, whose treasurer, David Ognek, said the friction is “just group dynamics.”

In Texas, a handful of thriving tea party groups severed their ties from the national Tea Party Patriots group after it ousted, then sued a founding board member who had affiliated with a rival group called the Tea Party Express.

In Northern Colorado, meanwhile, a handful of active 9/12 groups — named for the Glenn Beck-encouraged effort to stage the Sept. 12 Washington march — are unhappy with the state 9/12 group’s aversion to fundraising and with its focus on national issues and have discussed forming their own rival statewide group.

I would suggest Patriotic Wolverines of the American Jesus Eagles of Death Metal Liberation Front.

Or Shouty Stupid People because that would be cheaper to embroider on hats and fanny packs.

LOL.

Here is what snopes has to say about red shirt Friday. LOL, it really means to support the Canadian military!! Then looks like some neocons hijacked it to be a representation of the silent majority who they like to think they are, silent, not hardly.

Yes, I think I would like a pin that says I'm not a republican just for the heck of it. Hey, I heard that Glenn Beck was at a Borders in Tampa today. Tomorrow both Palin and Beck are suppose to be at a umungous development called the Villages, making speeches. Both about an hour away. I thought about going just out of morbid curiosity but that lasted about 2 seconds. It would just spike my blood pressure.
