Instead, we got this affable video response from a Tea Party group in Dallas. It stars a handful of minority members who warmly invite Olbermann to their next Tea Party event. "We have more diversity on our three person steering committee than your entire TV network lineup," says a Tea Party leader. "Come on out and celebrate with us."
