Infiltration of the tea party movement

All for the purpose of making them look bad.

Defamation Law on the Internet

This question has arisen lately due to many individuals making outlandish accusations regarding the Tea Party movement and it's intentions.

Namely, that the tea party will be arresting it's opposition and putting them in "internment camps". Taking away rights. Marching to the White House to arrest the president or worse.

Sane people, regardless of whether you like or agree with anything the tea party stands for, know these accusations to be untrue and just a product of the far left fringe attempting to discredit the tea party in the lead up to the November elections. Google tea party camps and you'll immediately see links leading to the usual suspects, Media Matters, Center for American Progress, and more similar progressive sites who may be encouraging and some say pay, people to use any means to attack the reputation of the tea party movement.

So just for the record, you "trolls" may want to study these two analyses including one case.

In a case straight from the uncharted cyber-territory of social networking and personal responsibility, a Chicago renter is being sued by her former landlord for referring to her apartment as “moldy” in a message she sent to a friend. Because the renter transmitted the message using the micro-blogging service Twitter, her landlord accused her of “maliciously and wrongfully” defaming his company “throughout the world.”

The law of Defamation has come under renewed scrutiny with the advent of the Internet. This is largely because it is the nature of the Internet to give the average, anonymous person an opportunity to express their opinion well-beyond any previously defined venue. Consider the fact that a person of modest means now has the ability to publish a statement, article, or news item across the world in an instant, without an editor checking the facts. Thereafter, the item will linger on the 'Net for months, or even years, impossible to recover and amend, if the "facts" are erroneous. Therefore, it is inevitable that problems are going to arise.

The main issue to remember when dealing with the Internet is that people still have their basic legal rights intact on the Net, and - likewise - the Internet is not as completely anonymous as the typical person may presumes.

Tea Partiers cooperate with presidential security detail

They were asked to move to the other side of the street, they did. All very peacefully.

Hope Obama got an eyeful of how extremist and violent this group can be.

"...these are my people, Americans."

Awesome!

9/11 thoughts a day later

It's been a difficult job this year deciding on what to post. We all feel obligated to say something but what?

I remember driving to work hearing on the radio that a plane had hit a building in New York, took a minute or two for them to get out that it was one of the Towers. Called my husband to make sure he was listening. Pulled into the office and my accounting clerk Hope ran up "it's not an accident you watch and see". Her words were prophetic as we learned.

I went to the conference room along with 20-25 others where there was a tv. As we stood there watching I caught out of the corner of my eye the second plane and instantly gasped along with everyone else in the room as it slammed into the second tower.

Mac, one of our vice presidents, ran from the room to call his brother. Only later would he discover we had just watched his murder in the second tower.

We all walked in and out of that room to see what else was on tv, how the rescue efforts were going, had anyone claimed responsibility. I walked back in just in time to notice little puffs of smoke below the strike area and said outloud "the building is going to collapse". Thought I had said it to myself but the heads jerking in my direction then immediately back to the tv told me otherwise.

I could NOT believe what I was seeing. It took days for that to sink in, that someone so evil would do this and that our two towers could be not just damaged but totally destroyed with as yet unknown number of Americans inside.

First day was shock.

Second day was anger and a determination not to let them win. Americans all across the land became New Yorkers. We gave blood, we called relatives we hadn't called in years. We made sure that everyone we loved KNEW we loved them because we did not want anything to happen with out them knowing as so many cell phone messages were being broadcast from those trying to find their way out of the buildings. That to so many of us was some of the worst pain, those people not being able to say I love you one last time.

Regardless, we came together as a nation.

We have lost that feeling. I think that is why I had so much trouble posting a tribute on Sept 11th. But I have spent the last 8 hours watching off and on the rally in Washington of the 9/12 group and various tea party groups across America. Pride in us as a people, not as democrats nor as republicans but just people who deeply cared about the lack of attention Washington is paying to their employers, us the voters and taxpayers. It was very uplifting.

Rally

You may not have seen it very much on main stream media. I recorded two hours of Headline News to see how they handled it. In two hours and 15 minutes, they covered the rally 6 times for one minute each time. All six times were the exact same clip. Shameful. This was important, this was historic, this was true America at our very finest since 1776.

Yes you could call it a Fox News event, and a direct result of the 9/12 Project started in March by Glenn Beck. So what? At least someone is doing something. The 9/12 Project is all about the feeling of coming together I described above, the feeling of being American the day after the towers fell.

As a follow up to today's event, Glenn Beck has proposed what I think is a genius moment. The original signers of the Declaration of Independence number 56.

(list from Wiki Answers)

Beck is calling for 56 Congressional members, from either party, to become our ReFounders, to denounce the corruption in Washington and stand up for the Constitution and We The People. Call out the corruption to the light and eliminate it completely before ANY more bills are passed!

I think that is EXACTLY what we need. Whether you like Beck or Fox or not, you cannot deny the effect they have had on average America. We can no longer count on any news agency to report or investigate. They (meaning ABC/CBS/NBC and the other cable groups) have not investigated any of the Czars appointed by Obama. Despite the rumors of wrong doing, not one has investigated ACORN. Charlie Rangel has yet to answer for his tax evasions. No followup investigations there by MSM. Same for Chris Dodd, Barney Frank or even Pelosi's ties to investments in companies due to profit immensely from the Cap & Trade bill.

Only Fox. Deny any of it. You can't. So make fun of the Foxbots as they are called, it's the only place for real news these days. And THAT is a true shame. Maybe we get rid of the corruption in Washington, something can be done about the media.

Will anyone in Washington "get it" after this rally/protest? Does it matter? I don't think so. This is more about educating people, drawing attention to their feelings. Those who don't get it, will find themselves on the way home for good.

Huffpo sends "reporters" to cover Tea Parties

Of course they weren't real reporters just fans of the liberal site. And they could sign up to be a Huffy correspondent!!! Oh joy, they were so happy, bet they felt something up and down their legs... oh that was bad. Almost as bad as all the gross references to teabagging.

And they really feel they did good. But the comments were pretty lame, and the "reporters" could only concentrate on the signs from some attendees that were out of hand. There were some accusations that these extreme signs were also plants of the left but don't know for sure.

What I do know, is that any protest on either side will ALWAYS have extreme people. But, there was NO violence at any of the Tea Party protests or FairTax Rallies. Left can't always say that. The G20 protests certainly can't, I saw blood on people's faces, broken windows, vandalized cars.

And HuffPo is trying it's best to turn our protests into racial hate filled meetings. They don't get it. We do. And the politicians will get it come 2010.

Enjoy a few moments of ignorance:
