John and Gina Loudon Were Kicked Out of the St. Louis Tea PartyUnknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger6125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-80715415102816133422010-11-18T08:21:43.257-06:002010-11-18T08:21:43.257-06:00Thanks for the comment.

But on the other hand anyone can say anything as an anonymous commenter without any repercussions, so there's not really any strong reason to take the claim as evidence. Maybe they were kicked out for that. But, if so, why is the St. Louis tea party so quiet about it? Shouldn't they highlight the fact that they removed people for their extreme antics?<br /><br />So maybe they were kicked out for other reasons, like a clash of egos, or anger over Gina and John referring to themselves as founding members. Or maybe they weren't kicked out at all: there are some in the St. Louis tea party who claim that the Loudons have not been removed. If the tea party believes they made a justified decision, then they should publicly share it, not hide it.STLAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847700690428802300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-81892164077049979332010-11-18T07:51:23.014-06:002010-11-18T07:51:23.014-06:00The Loudons were removed because of their views on...The Loudons were removed because of their views on traditional marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-19087177851070549532010-11-15T11:35:22.441-06:002010-11-15T11:35:22.441-06:00I *wish* that were the takeaway, but there were a ...I *wish* that were the takeaway, but there were a lot of other tensions and ego-clashes in the tea party. Notice that Chris Loesch's comments didn't say anything about the reason why the Loudons were "removed.' If the tea party as a group has a stance against homophobia, they should make it public.STLAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847700690428802300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-61418695287882999252010-11-15T11:21:03.453-06:002010-11-15T11:21:03.453-06:00Read the above dialogue from facebook.

This Ed Reggi complains about how Gina Loudon supports the concept of marriage between a man and a woman and complains that someone who thinks that way is representative of the SLTP and Chris Loesch's response is to say that Gina Loudon has been removed?<br /><br />What else is the takeaway other than the fact that by "removing" Gina Loudon for her views on traditional marriage that the SLTP is saying that anyone who doesn't support gay marriage isn't worthy of leadership in the SLTP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-81838987210797503772010-11-14T15:19:13.063-06:002010-11-14T15:19:13.063-06:00Anonymous, maybe that's the reason.

A different explanation might be that there were ego clashes between the Loudons and other members.<br /><br />But if the tea party kicked them out because they don't want to be seen as anti-gay marriage, it's a shame that they're not willing to own it. They basically have said nothing as a group about the subject.STLAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09847700690428802300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4924392915564296358.post-29403291307085662282010-11-14T15:04:23.734-06:002010-11-14T15:04:23.734-06:00I think that you are ignoring the real news story ...I think that you are ignoring the real news story in all of this:<br /><br />The St. Louis Tea Party supports gay marriage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
