MISSISSIPPI: Tea Party Leader Prays For God To Be "Violent" Against The GOP
At the beginning of the meeting, just after asking God in the opening prayer to "be violent against" the GOP establishment, Mississippi Tea Party Chairman Roy Nicholson thanked [right wing journalist Charles] Johnson for getting "down in that dirty, muddy trench and exposing a lot of truth" in Mississippi politics. Coming from California, Johnson made a splash in Mississippi this election cycle with the launch of his online news outlet, GotNews.com, which exposed the allegedly corrupt election practices of the Cochran-McDaniel U.S. Senate race. Only, he didn't just cover the controversy, he became it. By paying a Meridian preacher for text messages possibly implicating Sen. Thad Cochran's campaign staffers in a vote-buying scheme, Johnson made the public and other media question his journalistic integrity.(Via Alan Colmes)
