It would just kill me if I found out the Tea Party protests were organized and didn't erupt spontaneously. Those Tea Party protests did erupt spontaneously and were not arranged beforehand, right?
Not saying that....I do remember the early days of the TP, they were absolutely grass roots...and even though as it gained traction, people like FreedomWorks and others tried to latch on, and in some cases sponsoring events and calling them TP events, at least in the start, and in lots of cases were totally grass roots. This however with the liberal side of things are manufactured from the jump, that much is clear...
Look, I don't think it is a bad thing for our reps to take heat from opposition when they go home. I think it's good for them, but for goodness sake, "shutting down" these events because of the rancor, and vitriol being unleashed is not only ridiculous, but unproductive....What do you think these continued things will solve when instances like a Chaplin being shouted down for opening with a prayer of all things....How do you think that makes your side look?
