A real estate company whose owners have contributed heavily to Democratic causes apparently used articles and content on conservative blogs to justify bringing about pressure to shut down an Atlanta tea party protest scheduled for the Fourth of July an event that organizers estimated would attract 20,000 people.
The apparent plot was uncovered when blogger and radio talk show host Andrea Shea King noticed an unusual amount of traffic coming to her site earlier this month.
On Jun 16, Andrea Shea King emailed me, questioning a heavy burst of Sitemeter traffic coming from simon.com. She included screencaps of the traffic, two of which are reproduced below (click to enlarge).

The business owners can make their complaints to Simon Properties. Boycotting Simon does no good if they can’t see the sales they are losing. The more people that Simon hears from, the better.

Freaknik style? Humping on I85/75 near GA Tech isnt quite our style. :`) I was referring to the lack of a permit. But something tells me you already knew that.
BTW...I grew up in East Point.

The left would NEVER accept this. They would show up and chain themselves to the stores and vehicles. They would DARE, they would FORCE, the authorities to arrest them.
That's because many on the left don't have real jobs, families and responsibilities. None that they take seriously, anyway.

Okay, for you Freepers in New Hampshire and Northern Mass, the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester and the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua are Simon Malls. I will not give trade to any store in either one.

Hold the rally anyways, and FReepers in other states where this POS owns a mall, distribute fliers stating that the mall’s owner (simon corp) hates free speech, and is activly seeking to deny people of their 1st Amendment rights. This would be very effective in malls he owns in military towns such as Panama City, or just red states in general such as Texas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, etc.
I would pressure local planning commissions to deny any applications for building permits for renovations or expansions of his existing malls, and deny him the ability to build new malls. Use the same tactics that the enviro-nazi’s use by claiming that such construction will hurt some insect or other.
Put pressure on the fire marshals to yank certifications for the malls. Put pressure on local law enforcement to increase fees to have a “presence” at the malls he owns.
We must start using the same tactics that the left uses if we are to win back our country or we shall continue to be trampled because we “play nice”.

actually I didn’t know Freaknik was held without a permit. We white folk wouldn’t get very far with that trick, not here in Atlanta.

“A real estate company whose owners have contributed heavily to Democratic causes apparently used articles and content on conservative blogs to justify bringing about pressure to shut down an Atlanta tea party protest scheduled for the Fourth of July..”
Has a familiar ring to it, doesn’t it? Kind of a counter-Alinski strategy. Democrat surrogates, dissidents have gotten used to being on the offensive, doing the protesting, proselytising, propagandizing. This is just a counter-offensive. Must be afraid of Tea Parties. Time to step it up.

Remember this, the Simon’s are getting a taxpayer bailout for their losing Pacers and failing malls here in Indy.
Anyway, screw them. Have a tea party. It will be even better when they have to look like those thugs in Iran.
