Tea Partyers React ‘Hanging’ Statement

One local Tea Party organizer is calling the media attention brought on Dianne Capps after she stated she would like to hang U.S. Sen. Patty Murray a way of discrediting the movement, while another organizer believes Capps’ statement will not harm the movement. Clarkston’s Doug Schurman, who organized last Saturday’s Tea Party rally at the Asotin County Fairgrounds with Capps, was not present when she made the comment about Murray, but said, “I cannot even imagine this thing being in a vicious context.” Capps had been stalling for time during Saturday’s rally, Schurman said, and was uneasy about speaking in front of a crowd of about 500 people. It was at that time she compared Jake Spoon from “Lonesome Dove” to Murray, D-Wash. “What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd?” Capps asked. “What happened to Jake when he ran with the wrong crowd? He got hung. And that’s what I want to do with Patty Murray”/ Brandon Macz , Lewiston Tribune. More here
