Even at Tea Party rallies, there's no place for Orly Taitz.
A member group of a movement known largely for its anger and vitriol toward the Democratic establishment has rescinded an invitation to the attorney refuting President Obama's legitimacy.
The group organizing the Tax Day Tea Party in Pleasanton, California Thursday admitted to the Los Angeles Times that it was "getting calls from candidates like crazy," who were presumably concerned about being affiliated with Taitz.
"It's not worth it," said Bridget Melson, the Pleasanton Tea Party's founder and president. "She's too controversial. This is not what the Tea Party is about at this point."
The event is scheduled to include appearances from Republican senate hopefuls Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore, both of whom are vying to take Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA). Both have rebuked Taitz's denial of Obama's US citizenship.
