Full-on Anti Tea Party Assault - Brace For Impact

Never before has attending CPAC been considered wildly controversial. This year, too many are taking sides and drawing lines. The presence of a gay rights group or a few Birchers is catastrophic. Boycott CPAC! Yeah, that'll show 'em. The crowd ended up being a measly 10,000.

Then we are treated to Huckabee's hissy . "Huckabee said the rise of the tea party movement had 'Taken all of the oxygen out of the room,' rendering the venerable conference far less relevant than it had been in previous years." Is nobody getting what's going on here? The left is now so terrified of the Tea Party that they are in full-on assault mode. Washed up Clinton hacks are plotting an anti-Tea Party surge: "Big Government has learned that Clintonistas are plotting a 'push/pull' strategy. They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps 'urn', either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign. (Has MSNBC already been notified?)" "Big Government has also learned that James Carville will head up the effort." They may as well spare themselves the trouble if we continue to put all of our collective energy into destroying each other. When conservative talk show hosts bash each other, only the liberals win. Do we really have to make it an either/or scenario? Or can we listen to and enjoy a variety of hosts and pundits? Take what you need and leave the rest. The beauty of the Tea Party is in its lack of top down leadership. Sure, we can all squabble amongst ourselves about policy. But, the conservative values driving the tea party: limited government, lower taxes, personal liberty and responsibility are unassailable. The worst thing that could happen to the Tea Party is that it become one solid organized movement with a "leader" at the top. That runs completely against our most basic tenet: personal liberty. In 2008, we allowed the left to pick our candidate and look how that all turned out. Liberals are infiltrating the Tea Party groups at all levels; juvenile trolls are stirring things up on conservative sites. This infighting is exactly what they want. The Left is more frightened about the Tea Parties than they were about Sarah Palin: "We like both The Economist and Politico. But assertions such as these are tone-deaf, inside-the-Beltway punditry at its worst. They do the American people a profound disservice by failing to portray the Tea Party movement as what it is: A disturbing -- one might say downright spooky -- insurgency of the paranoid right-wing fringe. This isn't a snide liberal pronouncement. It's a verified sociological fact, as recent survey data from California make clear." Well, you can't argue with a "verified sociological fact"; particularly one coming from California. The Democrats are tearing themselves apart; this is not the model we should be using for our own upcoming elections. Let's never forget that Obama and his accomplices are paid agitators, also known as "community organizers'. They are also trained Alinskyites. The biggest threat to the Tea Party movement is coming from within as long as we insist on focusing all of our energy brawling with each other rather than confront the real threat that sits in the White House. Nobody is going to agree on every single point. But, the Tea Party movement is literally our last best hope at thwarting the Soros/Obama agenda. Recognize that the Left is agitating for a complete collapse of the movement. Republicans, conservatives, and libertarians had best learn to stop flying into a blind rage every time someone disagrees with them on some point and stay focused on the prize: a return to Constitutional principles.
