WHO are the Tea Party Organization???

If someone or someones are claiming to BE the organization, I think we all know they are wrong. There is no Organization and we don't want an organization.

We are only a spontanious group of people who just show up, and if some of those people just show up who happen to be a LEFTIST to make us look bad, not our fault.

WE have NO leaders. That fact is what is driving the LEFT crazy, they can't find out who we really are, rofl.

OK, yes there are those that do the planning for the events, but thats all they are, Event PLANNERS.

I was wondering if it is possible that the Tea Party can sue for Slander and Libel, the NAACP???

Probably not since the Tea Party is a grassroots organization that has no official leadership or organization. It would be like water trying to sue land . . . .

There are no legal grounds for lawsuit, there is not even an official "Tea Party" organization, per se, it's just an idea whose time has come... again. Only instead of one "King" we have a multitude of "czars" now.

Much more effective would be to publicize the web of corporate and governmental funding and Democratic ties of these tax-exempt ("non-profit," my ass) NGOs of "poverty pimps" and "race pimps" and "women-gays-children-education-environment-healthcare-other rights pimps" on every old media outlet (unlike the pejorative name-calling of opponents used by these same groups).

Publicize the funding and money re-distribution of these groups, like NAACP and "Rainbow Coalition" etc. etc., to the great unwashed who get the "free government cheese" in exchange for being used by these pimps, who are living a charmed life.

GOP, as a party, has been conspicuously silent on the subject for fear of being slimed in the media... but given that they could hardly buy good will from liberal media by remaining silent, they might as well just tell the truth. That is, if Republican "leadership" can handle the truth or still remember what it is, and are not just the part of the same system, only on a smaller scale than Democrats.

"Leave the gun, bring the cannoli" - use the lawsuits to stop or bog down the legislations and regulations passed by Democrats and Obama administration, before taking control and overturning or defunding them starting with the next Congress.

Use Alinsky's rule for radicals number 5: "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage."

Is it just my imagination, or is Soros pulling a chain or strings?

They can sue, but they need to show some damages. Being discredited by the NAACP is an honor, not a discredit. They increased the value of the Tea Party.
