Beaverton middle school teacher Jason Levin, who founded the now notorious "Crash the Tea Party" website, is no longer a teacher.
Levin resigned Wednesday in lieu of termination, said Beaverton School District Legal Counsel Camellia Osterink.
District officials would not say why Levin was facing dismissal, but that it followed an internal investigation into his use of public resources and time spent at school.
"There was some question whether that conduct occurred during the work day," Osterink said of Levin's work on the website.

I said Ran Paul. I actually have a little respect for Ron Paul, Rans father.
I will never respect a philosophy that doesnt care about human beings, only taxes to the rich.
The tea Party was silent when G. Bush let loose mass murder on the Iraqi people, and the death of thousands of american troops.
While busting the buget in the process.

Tea Parties were first started by Ron Paul supporters in 07. Many of those supporters disliked Bush and WERE outspoken against him and the WAR.
But this current Tea Party movement can be traced back to one single person's post on one single thread on one single forum, and I'm about to show you proof and evidence by tracing it back.

Republicans saw an opportunity to co-opt (hijack) the movement.

This tea party philosophy is nothing new. It is a warmed over Ross Perot philosophy, and just as anti-human and selfish.
It is no coincidence that the massive budget deficit always gets worse when Republicans are president, and improves when a Democrat is president.
That is proof of the Republican hypocrisy
If the tea party were in office they would do no better becasue they would cut taxes for the rich so much that the deficit would get worse as it did under Reagan and the second Bush.

Two tea-party promoters, Dick Armey and Matt Kibbe of Freedomworks, offer a “manifesto” for the movement in today’s Wall Street Journal. The bit that’s getting all the attention doesn’t come until the end:
[L]et us be clear about one thing: The tea party movement is not seeking a junior partnership with the Republican Party, but a hostile takeover of it.
The American values of individual freedom, fiscal responsibility and limited government bind the ranks of our movement. That makes the tea party better than a political party. It is a growing community that can sustain itself after November, ensuring a better means of holding a new generation of elected officials accountable.
Show me in the tea party rhetoric any of them denouncing the government for...
Or...
