The Conservative Cave

A real estate company whose owners have contributed heavily to Democratic causes apparently used articles and content on conservative blogs to justify bringing about pressure to shut down an Atlanta tea party protest scheduled for the Fourth of July — an event that organizers estimated would attract 20,000 people.
The apparent plot was uncovered when blogger and radio talk show host Andrea Shea King noticed an unusual amount of traffic coming to her site earlier this month.
On Jun 16, Andrea Shea King emailed me, questioning a heavy burst of Sitemeter traffic coming from simon.com. She included screencaps of the traffic, two of which are reproduced below (click to enlarge).
The amount of time simon.com visitors spent on King’s site was extraordinary, both in the depth at which the visitors mined the site (20 to 44 pages each) and in duration (22 to 55 minutes each). It was also interesting in terms of the number of unique URLs, or concurrent visitors from that domain.

But the tax and spend protests of the tea-bag party isn't a grass roots movement, it's sponsored by by the rich. [/dumode}

Scratch a liberal, find a fascist.
I guess conservatives shouldn't have protection under the 1st amendment. Keep pushing, you f'n moonbats, but always remember, it's the 2nd amendment that's used as a final result to protect the others.

Love to see dems and libs still believe in the U.S. Constitution - free speech and free assembly, specifically.

Everyone should show up anyway... They arrested MLK and other boycotters for the Montgomery bus boycott, arrested many who sat at "whites-only" lunch counters, etc. This is just another civil right.

The location has been moved.....to a bigger and more upscale place.
They expect turnout to be bigger than they had originally planned.

I dunno anything about Atlanta other than its corrupt political machine, but there was an announcement on freerepublic about the place and address and time, and many there were commenting that the new place is bigger and in a better section of the city, and likely to draw considerably more.

Ah, another moonbat scheme backfires. We should thank them for the additional publicity.

My little town is having another "Tea Party" July 4 from noon until 2 pm. Free food and tea, ought to bring out a good crowd.....shoot, I went to the last one and there was no drawing card other than some good speakers. If they take a picture this time, I'll be the one with a full belly and big smile in the front row.

Tea Parties are the wrong way to go.
Americans don't drink enough tea nowadays to make the historical connection but what we should do is have a massive rally around the nation where we smash CFL bulbs.
It would be the height of demonstrative irony if the government came rushing out demanding we not smash something they dictated we use in the name of the environment because they thing they dictated we use is bad for the environment.
Let's make July 4 2010 "Smash a CFL Day."

They would arrest everyone for dumping toxic wastes based on the mercury contained in the CFL bulbs.

To wit the reply would be: then why did you criminalize incandescent bulbs? Would you legislate the use of asbestos in the name of fire protection?
And do you really think they would/could arrest 100,000 people? ****ing hippies have "smoke-outs" for pot legalization why not a "smash-out"?

Atlanta is corrupt like Chicago and New Orleans. It is interesting to note they are run by Dems.
