The Tea Party circular firing squad — who will fire the first shot?

Tea Partiers In Disarray

by digby

The right wing has so many factions at this point that their circular firing squad has the circumference of the Grand Canyon:

The Libertarian Party is considering running a candidate in Kentucky’s U.S. Senate race, saying GOP nominee Rand Paul – the son of a former Libertarian presidential candidate – has betrayed the party’s values.

Meanwhile, Paul brings in a new campaign manager from Daddy Paul’s libertarian “Campaign For Liberty.” It’s a fascinating group that has chapters all around the country:

Meet the Fayette County (KY) coordinator for Campaign For Liberty, Basil “Bazz” Childress.

Basil, you see, is a white supremacist.

He is the state chairman of the Kentucky League of the South. And the Kentucky League of the South is, as the SPLC points out, a White Supremacist Hate Group advocating a second southern secession from the Union.

The League of the South is a neo-Confederate group that advocates for a second Southern secession and a society dominated by “European Americans.” The league believes the “godly” nation it wants to form should be run by an “Anglo-Celtic” (read: white) elite that would establish a Christian theocratic state and politically dominate blacks and other minorities. Originally founded by a group that included many Southern university professors, the group lost its Ph.D.s as it became more explicitly racist. The league denounces the federal government and northern and coastal states as part of “the Empire,” a materialist and anti-religious society.

Yeah. And here’s bonus footage of ole Bazz talking about the “War of Northern Aggression.”

All the weirdos of the far right are coming together under the tea party and now they are starting to fight for supremacy (white supremacy, that is.) it’s going to be quite a show.
