Wasn't The Tea Party Supposed to Be For The "Little Guy" and the "Common Man"?

I found an interesting story from a Minneapolis StarTribune blog written by Kevin Diaz.  Apparently when Sarah Palin and Melissa Bachmann speak they don't want members of the press who are not part of their cadre to attend.  Where will the people go for guidance now??? Oh, I feel so confused.  I guess I'll just listen to this old audio of Sarah Palin from Youtube.  The fact checking text provided is also useful.
