The Tea Party movement [3] is putting on its "First National Tea Party Convention" next month in Nashville, Tennessee, but the event is drawing the wrath of some Teabaggers. The convention will be held at a swank hotel where room rates start at $189 per night, and admission to the conference costs $549 -- a lot for a movement that purports to consist of ordinary grassroots [4] Americans. Also, one faction of the party called the Tea Party Patriots [5], is irritated that another faction, the Tea Party Express [6] -- which is strongly linked to a Republican consulting firm -- is attending, even though the "Patriots" faction doesn't mind working with FreedomWorks [7], a front group [8] backed by ExxonMobil [9] and billionaires Steve Forbes [10] and Richard Scaife [11]. Fox News [12] commentator Sarah Palin [13] is scheduled to speak at the conference, too, but Tea Partiers who can't afford to attend the whole conference will have to pay $349 [14] to hear her speak.
