Tea Parties Fighting A Smear Campaign From Left

Personal Letter to Terresa Monroe Hamilton From Dave Logan:

Excerpt:

We're somewhat dismayed at the lack of coverage from the blogging community re this historic trip across our nation, so we're doing what we can to jumpstart them into action. You and Marathon Pundit are right there in the forefront of coverage, we appreciate it immensely. The media crew aboard TPX see it, but we need much more. So if you could continue as you are, maybe enlist a few blog friends as well, it would go a long way in stemming the media flow of negative coverage.

If you do a post in the mornings, I will include you in my post, Glenn will then link it. If you don't have the time, which I understand, just copy and paste mine, Andrea's, anyone's, a press release as you've been doing, and I will link that.

Please Freep Mail me if you have a blog with a post about Tea Party Express.

Thanks

I wouldn’t fight the smears - just keep inviting more and more people to attend the events. It will show the world that even WE do not trust our own media. Let the rest of the world press report the story. When the history books are written about this time, the liberal slanted video coverage will make good examples for future generation history students - much like Nazi footage provides propaganda lessons for students today. History is written by the winners, and we will ultimately win this conflict. Eventually all of their lies will be exposed.

I am seeing this on a smaller level - on a local, community forum. Goodness ... the disdain and hatred drip for Tea Party anything from some of the posters. It is scary the level of hate they have for common folks getting involved in a movement to limit government. Truly, I haven't seen this amount of nasty directed towards people who just a year ago never thought they would be involved politically. I am so tired of seeing “You teabaggers ... “ directed to anyone who disagrees with anything related to gov’t.

There is no point fighting it; like any bully, it just encourages them to pile it on more.

The TEA party movement has them on the run by sheer numbers alone...we don't need to be defensive, we know what we are and we'd be fools to let them define us.

Just look at all the heat Sarah Palin has taken, and only a couple of times when the left picked on her kids did she fire back.

They can't get to her, and it's bugging them to no end. We've got to be that way too. What they say about us doesn't make it TRUE...and no one is listening to them but their base anyway, and who are they? Who cares who they are.

Conservatives are TUNED IN AND TURNED ON for the cause, we don't need to be sold, we just need to stay strong, and take that "guilt" and put it in a lockbox somewhere...it won't help us, it will help them.

We can't play "defense" for the next 7 months and expect to win...lay it on them in return. That's what Sarah does, that's what Rush does, that's what Hannity and Beck do...it works.

EMAIL has better coverage than all the news media put together, IF we use it and go viral with it. You will contact more people than NBC will...why do you think "spamming" is so popular, they are trying to reach people.

Ridicule really gets to them...you heard obama whining about Rush and Beck the other night...and the TEA party movement has them beside themselves.

Take satire and ridcule like then and go email-viral with it.

Hang tuff, stay on message...be a broken record and don't get distracted...it's what they are counting on.

Obama MSM says that the Tea Party is NO threat to the Dims.

Though amplifying widespread voter anger at the political establishment, the tea party movement is unlikely to dramatically affect the congressional elections - unless their local affiliates forge alliances with Republican candidates. And how likely is that? Republican operatives look at the possibility of GOP-tea party collaborations with some anxiety, and many tea party activists frankly don’t want to see them.
