The National Tea Party Federation has kicked out the active, well-funded, well-known Tea Party Express due to racist comments by Sarah Palin friend leader Mark Williams (his nasty comments about colored people, not his nasty comments about Muslims).

"We have expelled Tea Party Express and Mark Williams from the National Tea Party Federation because of the letter that he wrote," [on his blog ] federation spokesman David Webb said on CBS's "Face the Nation."
