I WAS WATCHING A LOCAL NEWS CHANNEL, AND HAVE ALSO SEEN QUITE A FEW BLOGS ON THIS SUBJECT OF LATE, THAT ARE CHARACTERIZING OUR TEA PARTY AS A COLLECTION OF EXTREMISTS. HERE ARE EXCERPTS FROM A RECENT DEMONSTRATION, POSED AS A SERIES OF QUESTIONS, BY A GROUP OF UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA STUDENTS LAST MONTH:

  1. WHY DO THE TEA PARTIERS CALL EVERY NEWS MEDIA OUTLET, OTHER THAN FOX NEWS, THE "LIBERAL MEDIA?"
  2. PERHAPS WHAT TEA PARTIERS REALLY WANT IS TO CONTROL THE MEDIA AND THE SCHOOLS JUST LIKE THE COMMUNIST COUNTRIES DO?
  3. PERHAPS TEA PARTIERS WISH TO OPPRESS CERTAIN PEOPLE, WHO ARE UNLIKE THEMSELVES, YET HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS THAT PROTECT FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THINKING, JUST AS THE COMMUNIST COUNTRIES DO?
  4. PERHAPS TEA PARTIERS WISH ISSUES SURROUNDING RACE WOULD GO AWAY, YET THEY GO AROUND CALLING EVERYONE UNDER THE SUN A RACIST WHO DOES NOT THINK OR ACT
    LIKE THEY DO.
  5. MAYBE THE TEA PARTY WANTS EVERYONE TO BE JUST LIKE THEM SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THE SOCIALIST SOCIETY THAT THEY CLAIM TO DESPISE.
  6. NOW TELL ME, DOESN'T THE TEA PARTY REMIND YOU OF NAZI GERMANY, COMMUNIST CHINA, AND AL QUAEDA?
  7. IN FACT..... THEY DO!!

HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THIS? WHAT IS THE MESSAGE THAT WE WANT TO PUT OUT. THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT OUR PARTY HAS ALIENATED THEMSELVES FROM THE 18 - 36 AGED CROWD.

IS THIS TRUE?

WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN?

IS THE LIBERAL MEDIA BEHIND THIS?
