Charles Payne? Really? Some FOX news hack as the keynote speaker?
So I take it that is the signal the Tea Party has been officially sold out? I hope y’all make a few bucks you Benedict Arnolds!
The earlier comment implying that Charles Payne would be an inappropriate speaker at the recent Tea Party dinner was apparently made before the event and thus is a wholly uninformed statement . I personally was there and found Payne’s remarks to be on the mark and consistent with the beliefs of the Tea Party members.
Actually. By having Charles Payne speak, the RTP was able to use the media to their advantage. Not that the event wasn’t newsworthy in and of itself but with a TV personality there, the local media wouldn’t dare ignore the rally in case the other network scooped them with a high profile interview with Mr. Payne.
Instead of showing up for an hour of coverage then hiding out in the news van for the rest of the event to file their story, they stuck around in the hopes of a soundbite from Payne for the evening news.
And all of this was to benefit the RTP. The greater the coverage in the general media, the better the chances of getting their message out to the independents who do not normally pay attention to politics. At the very least to get the independents informed if not involved.
