Here we go, again...

A friend forwarded the following e-mail, "Fox News: Will You Join the Tea Party Express":

Fox News Channel's "Fox Nation" has featured the upcoming "Tea Party Express" national tour and is polling their viewers to ask "Will You Join The Tea Party Express?"  You can read all about it - HERE.

"HERE." takes you to the The Fox Nation website for a video created by Tea Party Express a group funded by Our Country Deserves Better PAC, a political action committee formed in 2008 to oppose Obama.

The Fox Nation, in case you missed it is a is a conservative web site operated by of all people, Fox News. It came online March 30, 2009.

According to Fox News, "Fox Nation will be a forum for Americans to speak out on important and controversial issues, and to act on their beliefs and values -- while always upholding the traditional American ideals of free speech, fair play, and tolerance."

The site features news articles, video clips, and links to editorial blogs by noted conservative political commentators like Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, as well as some liberal political commentators, like Susan Estrich. In keeping with the site's purpose, viewers are invited to post comments about the various topics featured on The Fox Nation, which Fox News described as "a new community where all Americans are encouraged to share, discuss, and debate."

Fair and balanced to be sure:

The Fox Nation has been criticized by liberal web sites for posting inaccurate or misleading information that promotes a conservative viewpoint. According to Mediamatters.org, "The Fox Nation has displayed an uncanny ability to mislead readers, twist the truth, spread wild conspiracy theories, and misrepresent the reporting of legitimate journalists and media outlets."[3] Likewise, Huffington Post has stated, "[O]ne of the main functions of the political content at the site appears to be crafting inflammatory and widely misleading headlines for links to articles by news organizations whose content contradicts the Fox headline."[4]The Fox Nation provides links directly to other media outlets for their viewers to read and make their own informed decision.

The tea parties are starting up Friday, August 28th on the State Capitol steps, Sacramento, CA and culminating, Saturday, September 12th in front of the U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C. The tour is scheduled to fulminate in over 30 cities across the country.

For sure they will suck up lot and lots of media oxygen during a critical period in the health care debate.

This begs the question, is there is anything we can do?  There is.  If you live in any of the 30+ tour cities please show up with your trusty video camera, some burly friends and wearing one of your favorite authorized Rush Limbaugh T-shirts.  My fave is The Club Gitmo T-shirt - When America Was Safe. 

Don't be aggressive, don't be belligerent, be their friend, you never know when there will be another "Macaca" moment (from my mouth to God's ears).  You might want to practice-up for your CNN interview.  Post your tapes everywhere you can, you look like a CNN I-Reporter to me.   The more the country gets to know and love those lovely folks who are against everything we want, need and voted for the sooner they will marginalize themselves.
