Tea Party Unloads on 'Complete Imbecile' Rick Perryby Olivia Nuzzi at the Daily Beast/Huffington Post

"SNIP.......................
When Texas Gov. Rick Perry was indicted last month on two felony charges stemming from how he dealt with a misbehaving Democratic state official, the image of the stuttering 2012 Republican primary challenger was replaced with that of a hero-cowboy in the eyes of many conservatives. Perry was under attack from the left wing, and his response was not to apologize but to walk through a hail of blue-hued bullets and emerge laughing, without a mark on him. But some conservative true believers have begun to notice something rather suspicious: The company Perry keeps seems more suited to a mainstream Republicanor a right-of-center Democratthan to their hero-cowboy.
Perry is associated with three operatives who have concerned some members of the die-hard right wing: lobbyist Henry Barbour, former Bill Clinton aide Mark Fabiani, and McCain-Palin campaign chief and MSNBC pundit Steve Schmidt.
Well, maybe concerned is putting it somewhat mildly.
The only two options are that Rick Perry is a complete imbecile and he has no idea who these people are and what theyve done and how the conservative basewho votes in primariesfeels about these guys, or hes doing it on purpose because thats the kind of message he wants to send, said Keli Carender, the national grassroots coordinator for the Tea Party Patriots. Either way, she assured: It will be an issue. We will make it an issue.
