Because it is out there!

I didn’t write the story. I didn’t do the news report on KFOR in Oklahoma. I didn’t post it on numerous other websites.

Are you suggesting that if we just ignore it that it doesn’t exist?

Look, I see posts here ALL THE TIME about various slanders against the tea party. Does that mean the poster of these stories are trying to “paint an unpleasant picture of the entire TEA Party”

If so, then there are hundreds of posts here that need to be taken down and FR needs to make its policy clear that no story in the media that paints the tea party in a negative light (true or untrue) can be posted.

That would make zero logical sense, but they could certainly do that if they wanted. Then people would go elsewhere to discuss what is ALREADY IN THE MEDIA.

I just don’t get the ostrich head in sand approach to what is being said in the media.

I am suggesting that some people say stupid things in the heat of the moment. Why perpetuate the "one offs" that try to paint the TEA party in a bad light. That bad light has been the MSM mode of operation since the movement began. Why give MSM any credibility here at FR?

The purpose is not to put our heads in the sand. The battle should be us doing everything earthly possible to fight and discredit the MSM for their leftist slant. I might be wrong, but that doesn't seem to be your intent with this thread.
