Members of the Mid-South Tea Party demanded Monday that U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., retract statements he made in a radio interview last week criticizing the movement. They also insisted he apologize and meet with party members.
The Mid-South Tea Party has never and will never condone or participate in racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazism, said Mark Herr, a member of the Mid-South Tea Party.
... The tea party movements aim is to cause government to hear our voice. And for Rep. Cohen to disregard our efforts and make such unfounded claims is appalling. Herr was joined by more than a dozen Tea Party members and Donn Janes, who is running in the District 8 congressional race, to protest comments Cohen made on The Young Turks, an Internet and satellite radio talk show. Cohen represents District 9.

That’s their “talking points” and he’s sticking to them................
that what you’ve gotta do...call them on it every time they smear you. Make the MSM work three times as hard for their cover-up op.
Ignorance may be bliss but it’s time for some lawsuits for slander.
This despicable assault is unacceptable.
They need to go with another tack on this...
“It’s obvious that Rep Cohen has no logical rebuttal of the issues that the Tea Party is espousing, so he must resort to the intellectually deficient rhetorical device of smearing his opponent.”
You are more correct than you know.
When I saw the video of Cohen's remarks, it was readily apparent that he was trying to mentally recall a talking points "list" of buzzwords to insert into his speech.
He should be made to be ashamed to show his face again in public and booted out in November.
how about suing them for defamation of character or something similar, the left sues all the time and it’s about time we fought like they did
Actually I’d prefer him to be dressed in a clown suit and hit with pies. But you can’;t always get what you want!
just said the same and then read your post on this.
It’s high time to sue the media and those who defame anyone who opposes their socialist agenda.
How about a tar and feather suit and hogtied to a rail?
The common law does not recognize group libel. Any law suit would have to allege that the plaintiff personally has been slandered, as an individual, not as a member of a group of class.
He represents Memphis and this sort of talk plays well there.
We have to find a person who will be considered as having ‘standing’ and insist the msm answer to their lies.
cohen is nothing but an bambi, pelosi butt kisser. THey say jump and he says how high. He’s every thing we DO NOT need in a US Representative. He’s a bambi clone.
Oh, wait...

LOCAL TEA PARTY PEOPLE will have to VOTE THIS BUM OUT.
Called his office and one of the young cheerleader types that makes about 20 grand a year in D.C. answered. GOD SAVE THIS COUNTRY!
On GovTrack he is listed as a Far Left Dem.

He voted 100% with the usurper's agenda.
He can spin, but he cannot hide from his record.
