Tea party activists bomb email list of Crossroads donors

About 200 donors on the email distribution list for Karl Rove's group "American Crossroads" may be receiving an interesting message Thursday: Don't donate to American Crossroads.

Conservative activist Brent Bozell, chairman of the group ForAmerica, obtained the distribution list and plans to send a letter blasting Crossroads' role in last year's election and the creation of its new independent group for the 2014 mid-term elections.

Rove, the former top political adviser to President George W. Bush, generated strong pushback from tea party groups earlier this year when he announced the formation of another offshoot, "Conservative Victory Project," dedicated to helping electable candidates sail through Republican primaries

"Mr. Rove and his allies must stop blaming conservatives for his disastrous results," the email read. "It is time for him to take ownership of his record. He must also stop posturing himself as a conservative: his record supporting wasteful government spending and moderate candidates over conservatives spans decades."

Leaders from other conservative and tea party groups–including Tea Party Patriots, Family Research Council, Tea Party Express–co-signed the letter, which went to donors who've made six- or seven-figure contributions to Crossroads.

During the last cycle, American Crossroads and its non-profit arm, Crossroads GPS, spent more than $104 million on federal elections with a success rate of 1.3%, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Regardless of its success rate in 2012, Crossroads played a major role in the election and in the 2010 mid-terms, when Republicans took back the House of Representatives.

CPAC didn't ban talk of Islam, it was on this am. Even if they had excluded talk of Islam, so what? They still have plenty of very good speakers, so what would be your point?

What do you want us to do? Vote Democrat?

“When you state that Republicans are worse than Democrats, you’ve lost all credibility. You are wrong!!!”

THAT is NOT what I said. YOU are dishonest. You sound like a democrat...defending the indefensible. People like you are why the right is being destroyed from within.

What I said was”How do we fight Obama when WORSE is going on in our own ranks.”

We can’t beat the left when our side is being destroyed!
WHO will fight them when we are wiped out by OUR OWN????

HMMM??? THINK for a change instead of getting emotional with your panties in a wad

I’m a great grandmother too, but I’m not senile!

The name Free Republic has nothing to do with Republicans.
It is a name that describes Liberty and our type of government. A Republic. We are not a democracy but a Republic.

How do we fight Obama when WORSE is going on in our own ranks.This is your quote. Doesn't that mean that Republicans are worse than Democrats?

You know what I want? I want ALL of us to get on the same page and aim all our fire at Democrats. They deserve it. Obama deserves it. I cannot even come up with words to describe Obama and what he is doing to this country and all I see on FR any more is vitriol toward other Republicans. It has been interesting watching it but it is destructive. Our ire MUST be directed at Democrats.

I have no idea what Republicans you like--if any, but I view Obama and Democrats to be so evil, any Republican has to be far superior to any Democrat.

You go right ahead and do what you want. I’ll attack corruption where ever I see it. You bury your head in the sand if you want. It’s not your job to tell me what to do. And what are you doing besides pissing and moaning at those of us who do something???

Done with you, you’re a waste of time.

I am buoyed by the quality of those speaking at CPAC. We have a great bench coming up. We must focus like a laser on the real enemies of this republic—Democrats!!! Today, Cruz gave idiot Feinstein a primer on the Constitution. I loved it. Now, Rubio is giving a great speech. Perry was great today. Paul was great. We have a great team. Rejoice and declare war on Democrats, liberalism, Obama and Obamacare.
