Tea Partiers Create Their Own TV Show and Production Company

Hollywood tends to "depict conservatives and traditionalists and people of faith as halfwits," says founder of Colony Bay, which will debut its first project, a drama set in Colonial America, at a premiere on Sunday.

Those who belong to the conservative movement known as the Tea Party are acutely aware of the power of popular culture, so they have been cautiously delving into the creation of entertainment that promotes their values. It usually manifests itself in snippets of online political parody. Coming Sunday, though, is perhaps the most ambitious effort yet: A “TV show” created by a couple of Tea Partiers who have formed their own production company.

The one-hour drama is called Courage, New Hampshire, and it premiers Sunday at a movie theater in Monrovia, Calif. Co-hosting the red carpet activities are Saturday Night Live alumna Victoria Jackson and radio personality Tony Katz, both of whom regularly speak at Tea Party rallies.

Having long accused Hollywood of raging liberalism, a group of conservatives have banded together to start Colony Bay Productions, a startup production company that will create right wing-tinged content. Founded by Jonathan Wilson, an experienced Hollywood development executive, and James Patrick Riley, an experienced Patrick Henry impersonator, the company will debut its first show, “Courage, New Hampshire,” on Saturday night.

With their interpretation of the founding fathers’ intentions, and idealized belief in the purity of early American life, “Courage, New Hampshire” is an obvious start for the Tea Party company; set in the 1700s, it’s a soap opera-style show that will go straight to DVD after its red carpet debut. They didn’t pitch it to mainstream networks that are actually on TV.

As Riley, who wrote, produced and appeared in the show said, while they’ll work to include Tea Partiers in the cast and crew, they, “hire anyone who can get the job done. We have cast members who are raging leftists.”

Very true. The left controls almost all of the media.

How long before they start decrying how unjust and awful this programming is for our culture?

When the one we have now has a lineup like this:

You can't possibly tell me that an evil, jack-booted Rethuglikkkan such as yourself could be DISSATISFIED with the All Hitler, All The Time Channel, could you? [/idiot liberal]
