The National Tea Party Federation's list of members can be seen here.

Their statement on the NAACP's criticism and on race in general:

... we emphatically deny that their are existing Tea Party racist leaders based upon the facts. Those facts being no one inside the Tea Party Movement can identify any person fitting the parameters the NAACP announced. Further, we challenge the NAACP to identify those leaders or those bona fide Tea Party Groups publicly taking a racist position or making racist statements. The Tea Party Groups do not sponsor, support, encourage or even ignore racists.

Where can one go to find out whether the NTPF's positions are possibly extremist and/or bigoted?

For anyone seeking the mission of these movements one needs to look no further than their websites.

OK, can do.
