If we use the acronym title “TEA party” to get the word out that it’s a group who feels that they are Taxed Enough Already, it might help the cause. We need to control our own titles. The left, with their willing accomplices in the dominant media, is so good with titles, usually misleading.
That’s the first I’ve read that and I really like it and agree with your premise - few Americans would have a hard time denouncing it. Let’s take it and run with it within our social networks and we can take it nationwide.
Crash the tea parties!
On April 15th thousands of right-wingers will attend rallies in cities and towns across the United States. The organizers of this nationwide day of protest call it a tea party. This tea party movement that emerged only a year ago is a coalition of conservatives, anti-Semites, fascists, libertarians, racists, constitutionalists, militia men, gun freaks, homophobes, Ron Paul supporters, Alex Jones conspiracy types and American flag wavers. If the tea party movement continues to grow in size and strength there is a big chance they will dominate this country in the near future. If the tea party movement takes over this country they will really hurt poor people by getting rid of social programs like food stamps, unemployment benefits, disability benefits, student aid, free health care, etc. The tea party movement will say these programs must be gotten rid of because hard-working taxpayers cannot afford to pay for these things especially when the economy is in a depression. There are three options we have with the tea party movement:
1. Organize counter-protests against the tea party demonstrations, same time, same place. This is probably the best option. We need to get in the streets on April 15th and show the tea party movement that there are lots of people out there who oppose their agenda.
2. Get individual tea party protesters to leave the right-wing and move to the left politically. That would involve passing out stuff like this at the tea party demonstrations: http://www.anarchist-studies.org/node/299
3. Ignore the tea party movement. This is the worst option because without anyone opposing them they could easily gain power.
The post goes on to give website addresses of various teaparty organisations and suggests their readers spy on us.

ACORN, HuffPo Organizing Efforts to Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties to Shape Media Coverage
On Fox News Channels April 7 Your World, host Neil Cavuto reported that the Tax Day tea party protests on April 15 will be infiltrated by their political opponents and led by left-wing activist organizations. He specifically named Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).
Only eight days before a nationwide tea party, some over-caffeinated crashers aiming to lay waste to it, Cavuto said. Reports of very well-organized infiltrators trying to mix in and rain on this parade. Talk about taxing.
In fact, The Huffington Post has even set up a Web site for so-called citizen journalists to infiltrate the protests.
The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible, Arthur Delaney wrote for The Huffington Post on April 7. If you think youd be interested in attending one of the Tea Parties and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. Well contact you shortly with further instructions.
Please pass this info to everyone you know via email so that America knows what is going on here. Thank you.
AMEN TO THAT.
Taxed Enough Already is a perfect theme, slogan, placard, is not divisive or rude, and conveys a clear message that will appeal to many people.
