TeaParty: 1st they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you then you win

[teapartysamurai]

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

If Gandhi got it right, the Tea Party is on the verge of a major victory. The latest log of evidence tossed on this fire is the Tea Party Crashers, and their blatant efforts to squelch free speech.

Let’s review the charges from the Left against the Tea Party people:

1. Racism
2. Intolerance
3. Ignorance
4. Disingenuousness
5. And Possibly Having Cooties

Instinctively, the MSM jumped on the claims of racism and intolerance when they rushed to judgment and declared the Tea Partiers guilty of screaming racial epithets and spitting at black members of Congress as they walked through a group of protesters. (The Capital Police have yet to arrest a single person, and not one legitimate claim has been filed in Andrew $100,000 challenge.)

The Tea Party supporters were all labeled as ignorant, racist rednecks, despite the fact that their arguments were rooted in the Constitution. As we learned this week, some of our elected officials know much less about the document they are supposed to uphold and defend, Illinois Congressman Phil Hare for example.

Just a month ago the Coffee Party tried to launch as a response to the Tea Party movement. Armed with a Facebook page and support from CNN and MSNBC and the New York Times, Annabel Park — who backed Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign and is a contributor to the United For Obama channel on YouTube — started her party.

have heard almost nothing about the Coffee Party since. Perhaps they served decaf?

After almost a year of trying, the Left was incapable of finding solid examples to back up these charges and, faced with Tea Parties gaining momentum and broad acceptance across the country, they have decided to take matters into their own hands and manufacture racism, intolerance, ignorance and possibly cooties! (Perhaps this is the increase in American manufacturing that the President mentioned in the recent State of the Union address?)

Enter the Tea Party Crashers.

Congrats to the Tea Party ? Despite the MSM, Free Speech Will Win In the End - Big Journalism

As I have said before, this almost parallels what the left has been trying to do with Rush Limbaugh for 20+ years.

They tried calling him an extremist, a racist, a homaphobe. They have tried launching left wing radio commentators to put him out of business.

They tried the "hush Rush" law. They tried bringing back the "Fairness Doctrine."

They tried launching their own Radio Network in which they stole from impoverished children in New York to keep going.

None of it has worked.

Well now they have millions of Rush Limbaugh's to deal with. Not that they all hold Rush Limbaugh's opinions, but that they can't shut them up.

They are trying. They are trying the smears, the bullying, the beating up of a black conservative, the infiltrators.

They are trying everything and so far NOTHING has worked and only succeeded in making us more determined to fight for our rights in this country.

You can't stop us Democrats. You can't stop us liberals. You can't stop us leftists, communists, fascists, and totalitarianists.

And most of all, you can't stop us Saul Alinsky.

Who's fighting them? Dems want Palin/Bachman front and center as much as possible.

You never see any opposition to them at any event. Care to take a guess why?

Yeah that explains the infiltrators, the calling them "tea baggers by liberal news networks. The attempt to say they were shouting racial epitaphs.

The laughable coffee party.

Noooooooooooooo opposition at all.

And they aren't afraid of Palin? Run with that one.

And lest we forget what Dingy Harry Reid, and the Democrats in the Senate tried to do to him?

And yes, Obama was a signatory to it.

They're very afraid. Their fear commits them to fraud. It's their M.O.

The Letter

Yeah I remember that! And Rush turned around and auctioned it off for something like 4 mil to a charity for our servicemen.

It sure made a fool out of ole' Dingy Harry!

Rush always could play those guys like a fiddle.

 

[WillowTree]

you gained mucho ground while the asshats were ignoring you.. be thankful.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Bingo! Yea the Democrats and Liberal Press sure have spent a whole lot of time & money trying to paint the Tea Partiers as a bunch of "Evil Racists" and "Un-American Nazis." They may have had some initial success with this smearing but the Tea Partiers haven't given up and are now gaining in strength once again. Our original Tea Partiers didn't give up either and look at the results. Keep fighting the good fight Tea Partiers!

 

[geauxtohell]

So when do we move out of the "First they laugh at you." phase?

 

[Xenophon]

The movement continues to gain steam.

Excellent.
