In San Angelo, a Tea Party backtracks from a night of Muslim-bashing

A San Angelo author and Tea Party member has learned that he can bash Islam if he wants.

But even in San Angelo, that doesn’t mean anyone else will listen.

In an bold move defying the stereotype of xenophobic Texas towns, the San Angelo Tea Party has disavowed comments by former President Terry M. Campbell and Grand Prairie activist Dorrie O’Brien at a Sept. 10 meeting on “radical Islam.”

Somewhere along the way, the topic of jihad switched to all people of quiet faith.

According to the news site San Angelo Live, Campbell said the city has “four Muslim families” and “I don’t trust any of them.”

Is it the Friday Night Catnip posts in the Music Appreciation Group or just the catnip jokes in general?
