I wouldn’t be so quick to sling mud at the tea party. The story includes this sentence: [quote]Organizers of the rally, to be held outside the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley during prayers Friday, appear to be associated with a southwest Riverside County political group affiliated with the “tea party” movement.[/quote]
So let’s get this straight. The organizers appear to be associate with a group that’s affiliated with the team party. That’s guilt by association twice removed based on rumor and for this you’re going to convict the tea party? Remind me to make sure you’re never on my jury!
Mind, you I’m in full agreement that this protest and whoever is leading it, is flat out wrong.
But I see two major problems with your response.
1) You are way to quick to accept what the media is at best suggesting. Doesn’t it bother you that the LA Times is making statements about somebody appears to be associated with a someone who seems to be affiliated with someone else?
2) You seem to fail to understand that any grass roots movement without a formal organizational structure is always going to have lots of kooks and nutjobs in it. That doesn’t mean the we should paint the whole group with the mistakes of the few.
Lastly, I can’t help but also feel that what we are seeing with articles like this is the slow assassination of a group that doesn’t adhere to the dem/repub special interest agenda. I guess it’s inevitable with the way things are today, but it disheartens me to no end that any voice that speaks out against the dem/repub special interest agenda gets smeared and/or co-op’d by political operatives.
And unfortunately pri_dk I can’t help but feel that it’s posts like yours that are helping these political operatives and representatives of the dem/repub special interest agenda assassinate the tea party.

July 28, 2010 at 8:36 AM #583481ArrayaParticipantThere must be something wrong with me , but this kind of thing fascinates me.
From the article:
The announcement on the website, which has since disappeared, stated that Islam is a “worldwide political movement meant” to dominate the world. It called on protesters to “bring your Bibles, flags, signs, dogs and singing voice on Friday.”
from the comments(comments are filled with all kinds of gems):
the only reason that we americans are against mosques in this country is because the goal of all hard core muslims is to impose shiria law on everyone.
So obviously the dissemination of the “Muslim Conspiracy” is taking hold.
What’s interesting , is back in the 20s and 30s, the” Jewish Conspiracy” to take over the world was all the rage in similar circles.
They even had radio hosts in the 30s insisting that socialism has taken over the white house and of a “Jewish Conspiracy” to take over the world.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_CoughlinBy the mid-30s they were attacking synagogues in Germany out of fear.
Talk about history rhyming?
Actually, I just joined a group of Pagans, and yes, we are planning on taking over the world by imposing “natural law” on everyone, and mark my words, you will all be worshipping the mother goddess and dancing naked in the moonlight at solstice. Bwaahaaaa!
