Tea Party Founder Announces: "A Huffington Post Of Our Own"

[Are_grits_groceries]

Eric Odom, founder of American Liberty Alliance (ALA), the group that launched and organized the tea party movement across the country, announced Friday what he calls a movement-minded news portal and his answer to the the Huffington Post. While the domain and branding are secret for now, Odom has given his news portal a temporary name, Project 73.

Odom aims to create an online news portal that he hopes will become the "gathering spot for all the news" for their "side" -- a "movement minded news portal."

"I mean, I despise a lot of what is written at Huffington Post. But the reality is... they're good at it. They cover very wide ranges of topics and they cover them well. On our side you need to visit a good ten sites in the morning to get the full web digest. On their side you just go to Huffington Post and you know about everything that's happening."
At the bottom of the Project 73 announcement, Odom says, "Not a single person involved with our organization, or any tea party movement related organization for that matter, is profiting off of the movement." However, it looks like Odom's site will be a for-profit model.

1. I think they're bluffing and boasting...

5. Should they hire an editor first, or a dentist?

[HughMoran]

6. Since it will be all lies,

It will just be another RW joke.

[Walk away]

7. Odom spelled backwards is Modo! and that means nothing.

Does this mean that their paid trolls who post there will go back to their own bridge?

Imagine a news site about rightwing nutjobs who are afraid to lose their guns, believe the world is less than 10,000 yrs old and think that Toby Keith is cool. I'm sure it will be a big success!:sarcasm:

It ought to go over like a republican comedy show.

[Touchdown]

17. But.. the Dee placed backwards spells Obom... Give me an "A"

Then his head will explode.

8. It will be dead on arrival

It says that it will have a very narrow viewpoint and all editorial decisions will go through him. I predict that anyone who writes for them will not last long if this joker rewrites or rejects too many articles.

10. also,

on the day it debuts let's all register to comment.

[TomCADem]

[FLAprogressive]
