Tea Party responds to MSNBC smear piece - "Rise of the New Right"

www.TeaPartyMovie.com Go beyond what the media is telling you. Get the DVD that tells the story! This video is in response to MSNBC's "Rise of the New Right", a hit piece on the Tea Party movement. The show is designed to smear the Tea Party movement with "fringe" views and portray the populist conservative movement as "scary" to those who wish to join the rebellion against the rapid growth of government spending, higher taxes and the move towards Socialism.

(Press Release - June 17th, 2010)
Kitchen Table Patriots and national Tea Party groups lead a boycott of Dawn for funding MSNBC hit piece on Tea Party movement

(Bucks County, Pennsylvania) -- Today a broad coalition of Tea Party groups fought back against a left-wing propaganda hit piece that aired on MSNBC on June 16th. The program "Rise of the New Right" was low-ball journalism at its worst. The program demonized and misrepresented the Tea Party movement. Chris Matthews and his Hardball program slandered the Tea Party movement, and misled the American people by distorting facts about the Tea Party movement, its motivations and it history. His editors selectively portrayed groups and individuals in the program in a bad light.

Luke Livingston, Executive Producer of "Tea Party: The Documentary Film" responded, "If Chris Matthews really wants to know what moves conservatives to action, all he needs to do is watch Tea Party: The Documentary Film. (Tea Party Movie) Our documentary goes beyond the hype and into the heart of this mainstream movement."

Tea Party leaders from coast to coast are fighting back against the smears. Leaders of Kitchen Table Patriots, FreedomWorks, the National Tea Party Federation, Tea Party Nation and the Grassroots Coalition are responding to this outrageous attack by a national cable television network by boycotting one of its sponsors, Dawn dish soap, and asking them to cut off their funding to MSNBC. Leaders and members of the Tea Party movement are showing unity in the face of these attacks by writing, calling and faxing the offices of Dawn (and its parent company Procter and Gamble) to ask them to stop subsidizing these vicious attacks by MSNBC and Chris Matthews.

Kitchen Table Patriots leader Ana Puig, who appeared in the piece, said, "These attacks are wrong, misleading and disingenuous. The propaganda piece only serves a left-wing agenda, and I will do everything I can to convince Dawn to stop funding MSNBC's lies. I'm asking Tea Party groups around the country to help us in this effort. Individual Tea Party members will be boycotting Dawn products until the company takes appropriate action regarding the decision to advertise during the Hardball hit piece, and ceases funding MSNBC."

FreedomWorks Grassroots Director Brendan Steinhauser added, "The Tea Party movement I know looks nothing like the one portrayed on MSNBC's Hardball. The movement is made up of good, hardworking, honest, smart people that love their country. It is a movement that reflects the best in America, and I will remind Dawn of this fact when I write my letter and make my phone calls."

Anastasia Przybylski, who also appeared in the hit piece, added, "Chris Mathews tried to connect the tea party movement with extremists from the past, and with the crazy 9-11 truthers of today. He failed. The show was disjointed and a ridiculous attempt to make the tea party movement look extremist. If MSNBC's ratings could go down any further, they would after this show."

The Tea Party coalition is asking local groups to call, fax or email Dawn, and its parent company Proctor and Gamble. The coalition promises not to back down, but to keep the pressure on until Dawn cancels its funding for Hardball and MSNBC.

Former Reagan adviser Bruce Bartlett … “How can people defend Bush on the basis that he -'kept us safe after 9/11'- without also '-blaming him for 9/11'-? If he had the power to keep us safe after 9/11 then why didn’t he keep us safe on 9/11?”

Amy (Krispy) Kremer, you were a flight attendant!?! No fucking way! It must have been on a WIDE body jet. No wonder we're all paying fuel surcharge on our airline tickets!

@4sylum1nmate

Then you be fine without any consumer or environment regulations for the movement of profit? I don't care because governments in general are evil. Same with money. And when the "GOP/TeaParty" want limited government, go right ahead. If you are so impressive of limited government go right ahead back to the 1700's. See how you be treated. I see government excess only because Business creates ways to screw their employees. There has to be a balance. But I'm done.

@ZSwierczynski ~ Limited, as in limited government, is a relative term. It's not "one size fits all" Idiot.

@philip0460 ~ I got a bag you can suck you fuckin' socialist. Move to Canada. Goodbye and good riddance.

Time to buy Dawn soap

The people most frightened of the Teabaggers is the GOP because even Barbara Bush thinks Sarah Palin is dim and not good enough to run. And Karl Rove won't allow her too unless he knows she can not win and she is a throw away candidate.
