2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumTea Party Founder Busted for Kiddie Porn
Joseph Hayon, founder of the ultra-conservative Brooklyn Tea Party, was arrested last Thursday for possessing and sharing child pornography. The man has four children ages 9, 7, 4 and 15 months. He admitted that he had been trading photos of children between the ages of 2 and 12 as recently as December 2014 on the Internet. What this low-life has done is reprehensible but what I can't get out of my mind is that he founded an ultra-conservative Tea Party chapter. In my book the Tea Party represents the bottom of the barrel of humanity but Hayon has proved just how low the members can go. He once campaigned with the slogan "Our children are our future," according to EDGE MEDIA NETWORK. Hayon, 37, also has a long history of fighting the LGBT community.When The New York Post asked him if his wife, Batya, tipped cops off to his disgusting behavior, he only said, Definitely not my wife. I don't think even the Tea Party would condone behavior like this but it is time that the public is aware of the bad apples like Joseph Hayon that reside in that organization and send its credibility crashing to the depths of reality.

Yet again, the louder they holler the more they need to defeat their own demons.

It's sick stuff, but when a teabagger gets busted, it's extra nice in it's own special way.

Definitely not my wife.
When asked if it was his wife that tipped off L/E, suggests that there may be other rocks to be unturned (e.g., spousal abuse(?))

That would be the cherry on top of the hypocrisy sundae.

Wrapped in the flag? Check. Hiding behind religion? Check. Hetero marriage to somebody he considers a doormat? Check. Lots of kiddies at home? Check. Gravitates to work and charity work around the kiddies? Check.
Religious patriarchs always seem to have a lot of loose screws.
