‘Warning: Tea Party In Danger’: Leader Slams Palin As ‘Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing’

A prominent Tea Party leader from Texas is warning that the movement “is becoming nothing more than a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party,” and slamming Sarah Palin as representing “a growing insider’s attack to the heart of the Tea Party.”
Dale Robertson, the founder of TeaParty.org, is just the latest Tea Partier to express concern that the movement is being hijacked by the GOP.
In a lengthy statement — entitled “Warning: Tea Party In Danger” — posted yesterday on the TeaParty.org homepage, Robertson instructs his felllow Tea Partiers to “[b]e alert to turncoats and deceivers being herded into the Tea Party by usurpers from the weakened Republican Party for the sole purpose of capturing our populist movement.”
Robertson continues:
[W]hat I am witnessing is an attempted defilement of the concept of what the Tea Party’s purposes are and where we are going. The bastardization of our message I find bilious and disingenuous on its face.Tea Party members are being eyed as just another piece of voting meat. Tea Party members are targeted for filling the rank and file of minion laden political operations, most of which are lead (sic) by failed Republican hacks.
As for Palin, whose appearance last week at a controversial Tea Party convention appears to have given her a claim to be the de facto leader of the Tea Party movement, Robertson derides her “neo-con flippant viewpoint” and calls her “a duck out of water among true constitutional conservatives.”
He adds:
She represents a growing insider’s attack to the heart of the Tea Party. Very much like a wolf in sheep’s clothing entering in at the gate as an ally, but for all intents and purposes there to seize and capture, not only one or two stray sheep, but the whole flock!
The Houston-based Robertson rose to prominence in the movement last year when he helped organize local rallies and founded Teaparty.org, a for-profit conservative activist site. But his influence within Tea Party circles is open to question. The Houston Tea Party Patriots distanced themselves from him after a photograph emerged of him holding a sign that compared taxpayers to “niggars.”
Robertson’s animus toward the GOP also appears to have developed only recently Last month, he complained to a reporter that he had been trying to contact the RNC to discuss working together, but hadn’t received a call back.
Still, Robertson is hardly alone in warning that Republicans are trying to hijack the Tea Party movement. Several grassroots Tea Partiers have sounded similar alarms — some to TPMmuckraker — partly in reference to the convention at which Palin spoke.
You can read Robertson’s full statement here.
I’m not sure you understand that only one party is being hijacked in America. That would be your democratic party, hijacked by the progressive movement.
Read the origins of the progressive party in the early 1900’s.
You should study that movement extensively, especially their associations with the young media and the movement to control minds through the media.
It very interesting and says alot about how this country is being lied to, and is has NOTHING to do with republicans or conservatives.
unfortunately you are a victim of the progressive movements intentions on mind control.
I am of no political party, just a bystander observing the truth, and the extensive lies within the political system.
Taking a class in basic reasoning will teach your mind to be strong against attempts of controlling your views.
I see many liberals also victims to this media brainwashing, and its simply incredible that they have trained you to fear that very thing from the opposite party, were there is no mind control being attempted by the conservatives, although you are led to beleive that, and so strongly you do.
Really, the only chance you have from escaping this problem you have is learning how to decipher fact from fallacy, because you have been trained to not know how, nor the difference between the two.
The irony is that you support fallacy, and reject reality. I can clearly tell the difference between the two, and you follow the wrong path.
The progressives were indeed successful in brain washing so may millions through the media…
last little tip…NBC and MSNBC are the leaders in this deceptive practice. They report distorted news and revised history on a daily basis.
None of this is witnessed in the fox news. Its all about learning the ability to reason statements practically and coming out with what is fact, and what is fallacy.
Again, I breakdown news all day long. My end results are staggering when finding thousands of statements based on fallacy throughout media, but nary a one on fox.
very strange, isn’t it.
I suggest you learn the art, as it is a art, and a specialty, to practice practical logic. And once you feel you have a grasp on it, give it a try on the two media outlets I mentioned….You will be AWED!!
Ahhhh … nice to find sane, like-minded observers of fact instead of followers of propaganda.
