Fundraising Presentation Upsets Tea Party

[DearAbby]

The controversial RNC fundraising presentation released earlier this week is now creating a stir among members of the Tea Party movement.

"They don't get it," Judson Phillips, the organizer of last month's National Tea Party Convention, told the Daily Beast about the RNC. "They freaking don't get it."

"Can they be any more insulting? I guess they could have called us teabaggers, but Holy Cow, I'm so blown away by the whole thing I'm just sitting here stunned," Phillips said, according to a report by the Daily Beast's Benjamin Sarlin.

1. Must suck being just a reactionary donor, huh?

:rofl:

2. So the fearful, reactionary party doesn't like being called fearful and reactionary?

Ok.

3. The RNC presentation was exactly right

I don't see what the RNC got wrong, they had all the wacky stuff teabaggers go for.

4. Michael Steele said that?

With a straight face?

5. What in this RNC

fundraising presentation is incorrect? The teabaggers are reactionaries motivated by fear. So the RNC is playing on those fears. It worked in 2002, in 2004 so why not go for it again?

What else does the RNC have? Ideas? Nope, not really. So they they go with what they have - a base of scared reactionaries. Seems like an obvious marketing plan to me.

The RNC's take on their rich donors is also quite accurate.

The irony in all of this is astonishing. The RNC is using them and they don't even get it.

8. actually, it sounds like they do get it

they may not be any less reactionary, but they realize they are being played for suckers. Maybe they will create a third party. I hope so, any split in them helps us...unless we split as well, creating a 4th party.

6. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

The GOP sucks, don't it...

7. How the hell can the RNC distance itself?

It's their freaking presentation!

9. The teabaggers should sue the RNC
