MSNBC will be featuring TPN member and featured speaker at the Tea Party Nation Unity Convention, Ana Puig, as part of a special on the Tea Party Movement. They have been filming Ana for several months. The show will air tomorrow night on MSNBC at 7:00 pm Eastern.
Though it's certain to be a hit piece on the Tea Party Movement, MSNBC will most certainly have a difficult time trying to paint Ana as a far right wing extremist racist. She is a naturalized citizen born in Brazil who felt compelled to get involved politically when she saw the now infamous clip of then candidate Obama tell Joe the plumber " I just want to spread the wealth around." This conjured up bad memories of her native country. Together with other neighborhood women she co founded The Kitchen Table Patriots...a grassroots Tea Party Group in Pennsylvania.
Hopefully viewers will be able to ascertain that this wife and mother is no radical but rather a concerned citizen who should be respected for her guts and drive to stand up for what she believes in. But I won't hold my breath. These are MSNBC viewers after all.

No one has to try very hard to paint Ana as trying to paint Ana as a far right wing extremist racist. The racist part is not as prevalent in her disposition as it is in other Tea Baggers motives. However her lack of understanding this country and its core values as they have ben developed over the past 234+ years is just plain ignorance. Additionally to not acknowledge the almost 40% of tax cuts to people of the middle class as well as the significant portion that goes to infrastructure repair is intellectually dishonest. Standing up with ignorance and selfishness is not standing up at all.
