I am sure many of you have seen this video, but I want to post it here so we can be fully aware of how Tea Party activists are being treated and that we are being potrayed as some sort of threat. We are advocating mainstream ideas that have been the bedrock of this country: [...]
Two years ago, most of us had no idea what a “community organizer” was. But as then Senator Obama’s campaign started to accelerate and steamroll his opponents, we got a glimpse into the machine that had been carefully constructed for years to squash the liberty the Founders sacrificed so much to ensure. And after he [...]
The Tea Partiers are having a REAL effect in Utah. Robert Bennett, a RINO who has sold out principled conservatives out time after time, is about to be humiliated in the U.S. Senate convention coming up in Utah. No doubt Orrin Hatch will realize he is next and start to modify his behavior. Kay Baily [...]
The fact that the national media would even give a second of air time to the idea that the Tea Party movement is in anyway connected to domestic terrorism is not only offensive and completely out of line, but it is irresponsible and libelous. Recently President Clinton tried to draw a relationship between the Tea [...]
Here’s the beginning of a fair-minded Washington Post article by Robert McCartney (a man who doesn’t happen to agree with much of our movement, by the way): I went to the "tea party" rally at the Washington Monument on Thursday to check out just how reactionary and potentially violent the movement truly was. Answer: Not very. Based on what [...]
It is clearly a tactic of the Progressive Left to portray the mainstream Tea Party movement as racist and violent. President Clinton has made it his occuption to change public opinion of the Tea Party mvoement so that people perceive us as somehow dangerous and fringe. Anyone who has been to a Tea Party Rally, [...]
Retired editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Ross Mackenzie, writes a great piece at RealClearPolitics on the Tea Party movement. It is an absolute read for everyone. Protest is the essence of America. It formed the nation. To say people attending these rallies are loons is to say the same of those who dumped tea into Boston [...]
The following article is by Richmond Tea Party supporter Jill Finnie, who attended Thursday's rally. RICHMOND - I was one of the thousands of concerned citizens who made my way to Kanawha Plaza for the April 15 Richmond Tea Party Tax Day rally, not sure what to expect. You might call me mildly political, [...]
President Obama actually said this: Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser tonight, President Obama touted his administration’s tax cuts and said that the recent tea party rallies across the nation have "amused" him. "You would think they should be saying thank you," the president said to applause. Really? I suppose if 95% of us actually did [...]
Today, the Richmond Tea Party joined with other like-minded Tea Parties across the United States to form the National Tea Party Federation (NTPF), whose singular purpose is to collaborate and strategize on media messaging. The NTPF will present a unified message and media response among Tea Party groups. This is NOT an attempt to centralize Tea [...]
When I first read this, I thought I was being set up for a joke. But it’s no joke—CNN reporter Shannon Travis is covering the Tea Party movement with honesty, fairness, and what seems to be some degree of admiration. Travis reports But here's what you don't often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: [...]
Again and again in the media in the last few weeks we've heard the constant droning on and on about how the "rhetoric" coming from the tea parties is "dangerous" and filled with "hate". We're called bigots, and it's implied that we're somehow against "civil rights". A few non-representative tea party protest signs are singled [...]
