SC Tea Party Leaders Arrested For Selling Pirated Computer Software

[Tx4obama]

A Tea Party (or Tea P-Arrrrrr!-ty) leader in South Carolina was arrested Tuesday for allegedly selling pirated versions of Microsoft software, Photoshop, and the Rosetta Stone language programs.

Anthony and Michael Trinca, 61 and 23 respectively, were arrested after a witness claimed that in May he purchased six copies of Rosetta Stone from Anthony Trinca through Craigslist for $125 each, but then discovered they were fake when tried to resell two of them. After refunding his own customers, the victim said he tried to get his money back from Trinca, who refused.

2. Starting to look like the Tea Party is just one big criminal conspiracy.

8. Well, yes, perhaps I should have said the media is finally starting to report it.

3. Yep, all TWO of them

4. this cannot be a true story

I keep hearing that the 'baggers are all about personal responsibility, John Galt and all that stuff. So I know good and well that no member of the Tea Party would steal someone else's work in order to make a profit. I even read Atlas Shrugged about 20 years ago, and it largely dealt with this sort of thing. So a bagger would never do this...unless of course he's part of an empty ideology that doesn't stand up to even a cursory real-world test and is actually a cover for greedy people who feel good about being told that their greed is beneficial to society. Hmmm.

5. I made a similar observation earlier today

concerning teabaggers & their hypocrisy concerning Ayn Rand-type 'individualism,' but you said it much more eloquently than me. Well done.

7. And we see here the true source of teabagger rage.

They don't really have a problem with the graft and corruption of our Federal government. They have a problem with not being cut in for a piece of the action.
