All Hail The Power Of The "Grassroots": Tea Party Convention Canceled
By Nicole Belle



Hmm....it looks like the most influential "grassroots" movement Koch money can buy can't quite gin up the interest one would expect:

Back in June we learned that the much hyped Tea Party Unity convention was being canceled and rescheduled to October 14-16 in Las Vegas. This barely registered a blip with the media at the time and I called them out on it and set the record straight on what this was really about.

We’re about a month out from their new announced date, and I thought I’d check them out and see how things were coming along.

Well my first stop was a Google search to find their web site. I found it, but this link should speak for itself. Check out nationalteapartyconvention.com. Oh you got a page not found error? Well there’s nothing wrong with your browser, the site doesn’t exist any more. And there’s absolutely zero media or blog coverage of the event since they announced the dates were changing. Not really what you’d expect for an event featuring Sharron Angle, Lou Dobbs, Joseph Farah, and Andrew Breitbart is it?

Well it gets better. I wanted to make sure the convention really was canceled and they weren’t just having web issues or neglected to do any PR for their event. So I put in a call to the Mirage hotel and asked if I could book a room in their block for the event. Turns out the room block had been canceled and the Mirage had no record of the event.

Given the amount of air time and influence the media continually gives this group of wackaloons, I gotta likewise take their prognostications of doom and gloom for the Dems holding onto the majority with a huge grain of salt. For crying out loud, with a critical mid-term election right around the corner, and Sarah Palin as the featured keynote speaker (complete with $100K speaking fee, thankyouverymuch) and Tea Party favorites like Sharron Angle and Breitbart scheduled to appear, they still can't sell enough tickets to hold a "Unity Conference".

It's just schadenfreude-licious.
