Tea-party leader leaves post over racial remarks

Tea-party leader leaves post over racial remarks: "Williams, a talk-radio host with a long history of making racially tinged statements, had become a growing problem for Tea Party Express and the candidates it supports.

Tea Party Express is among the few organizations in the larger federation that has raised large amounts of money and has attempted to sway elections. Its support was key to Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle's primary victory and it has paid for television ads in Massachusetts, Michigan and Alaska."
