It's funny that while the tea party is going this far out, the more mainstream branch of the republican party is softening up their image by sending messages that they now approve of gay marriage. Let's hope that this causes a rift between the two branches which translates into votes for democrats.

FROM AMPLIFY YOUR VOICE:

The President of the Montana Big Sky Tea Party, Tim Ravndall, thinks it's funny to joke about murdering gays.

A Facebook exchange:

Dennis Scranton: "I think fruits are decorative. Hang up where they can be seen and appreciated. Call Wyoming for display instructions."

Tim Ravndal: "@Kieth, OOPS I forgot this aint(sic) America no more! @ Dennis, Where can I get that Wyoming printed instruction manual?"

(A reference to the torture and murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming in 1998). Randval has apologized. But the organization has not yet met demands to remove him from office.)
