“Tea Party Style” Democrat Tied to Hate Group

While Tea Partier Poskevich lost in the Republican contest, self-described “tea party style conservative activist” Mark Clayton won the Tennessee Democratic Party’s nomination to run against Corker for the U.S. Senate.

Clayton goes to lengths that we’re not really sure that even Public Advocate does. For example, he apparently believes that there is a NAFTA superhighway being built from Toronto to Mexico, but disguised as the expansion of I-69 south of Indiana through Memphis to Texas, a step that he thinks could lead to the creation of the “North American Union” and the end of the United States. He believes, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, that “voters…need to protect themselves by voting against neoconservative New World Order boys like Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker.” He believes that a national ID card has been “secretly and electronically embedded in ALL Tennessee driver’s licenses.”

I guess all the crazies can't be on the far-right. We have to have a few that maintain that they are Democrats (although the Tennessee Democratic Party claims otherwise in the case of Clayton).]
