Tea Party Email Warns Members: Beware Liberal Trolls Like Rachel Maddow
Tea partiers beware: "You can and will be banned for being a liberal."

Organizers behind the upcoming Tea Party Nation convention we wrote about this morning told members today that MSNBC's Rachel Maddow tried to join the group and "we banned her 7 minutes after she joined."

TPMDC, which also has signed up for the TPN mailing list, received an email to all members warning them that as the convention nears "we will in all likelihood be invaded by liberal trolls looking to disrupt the site."

"Tea Party Nation reserves the right to ban anyone for any reason we feel necessary to ensure the well being of the site and our members," the group writes in the email, which you can read in full after the jump.

Please be advised that over the coming weeks, as the National Tea Party Convention draws near, we will in all likelihood be invaded by liberal trolls looking to disrupt the site.

Rachel Maddow joined this morning and we banned her 7 minutes after she joined. I have little doubt she will mention this on her show.

Per our FAQ's:

Note to Prospective Liberal Trolls: TPN does not tolerate liberal trolls. If your sole purpose is to join this site in order
to disrupt the flow of constructive dialogue against liberalism,
you will find your time here very short. You can and will be banned
for being a liberal. If you wish to debate the virtues of
liberalism (as though there were such a thing), there are many
other sites on the web who will tolerate you. TPN is not one of
those sites.


Tea Party Nation reserves the right to ban anyone for any reason we feel necessary to ensure the well being of the site and
our members.

When they show up - ignore them, report them and we will ban them.

Thank you all for your patriotism and support!

Tea Party Nation

14. Yeah, I don't think they're all that smart
Someone with a Stephen Colbert streak could have these kooks marching on the Humane Society. Why the Humane Society? Uh, because they have the name "Society" in their name! Yeah! Socialist. Society. It's so obvious!

19. Don't get me started on Humane
Why that's just one syllable removed from Humanist, which rhymes with Communist and Socialist! I tell you there's trouble here in River City!

5. I'm on the local tea party email list
I'm on the local tea party email list. It is mostly invites to the Ayn Rand book clubs, making signs for anti-Obama events and an occasional party invite.

9. I am on our local list too
And since I signed up, when I was at health care rallies this summer and someone passed me a clipboard to sign up I wrote one of the following:

YOU PEOPLE ARE OUT OF YOUR EVER LOVING MINDS

or

YES I AM WILLING TO REFUSE MY SOCIALIST MEDICARE WHEN I AM ELIGIBLE

21. One lady laughed
She read what I wrote and said "That's good" and laughed. Then she walked off to get more to sign up for their emails.

3. " constructive dialogue against liberalism"
Talk about contradicting oneself. Of course to make matters funnier they are talking about whatever they deem "liberalism" which is anything to the left of Limbaugh and Beck...

6. So, their whole
schtik on "we don't belong to any party" was always the bullshit I thought it was. Just liberals getting banned - they're a joke and farce and we should hang this group around the neck of any pub that runs. Force them to align or deny - every single one.

7. how do they know she wasn't already a "troll" under a different name?
I'm sure there are a lot of people in groups who are using fake names/phony e-mail addresses ...

30. how about Heywood Jablomie?
Of course, it would be rejected outright because it's not a proper "American" (not black) name ...

10. I wonder how many of these types have
expressed anger at being censored, um, banning "anyone for any reason we feel necessary to ensure the well being of the site and our members" on "liberal sites" ... especially after documented abuse of the site by the bannees ...

I doubt that Rachel Maddow was allowed to comment at all during that 7 minute duration between when she registered and when she was banned ...

20. Could have been a legitimate teapartier named 'Rachel Matthews'; 'Rachel Madison' ; Rachel Madden',
etc, etc.. we all know how right-wingers don't pay attention to details such as spelling.

Shining examples of those freedom loving Americans.

How sad they think we'd do on our own what they pay folks to do.

27. No differing points of view allowed.



Isn't it rather idiotic to have a web site where everyone says the same thing over and over?

I swear, teabaggers' brains stopped growing at around age eight.

28. Yeah, right
As in Rachel Maddow would go to the freakin' Tea Party Nation website, join the mailing list with her rachel.maddow@msnbc.com email address, then jump on her email client and send a "Hi! I'm Rachel Maddow, your sworn enemy, and I'm going to make your lives even more miserable than they already are!" welcoming message.

What probably happened: "Hey Fred! Join the mailing list as Rachel Maddow so we can ban ya and brag about how we did it. And gimme a dip a chaw while yer at it; I'm runnin' a little low."

You can sign up with any name you want, there's no confirmation process.

I am signing up with a certain pundit's name right now. Hahaha.

Time for a little mischief.
