Scion is an heir or descendant — offspring, progeny, a *young* member of a clan… you probably meant “patriarch” or something similar.

And another btw to the lefty who wrote this story…ever hear of George Soros? Is he any better than the Koch family that you try so hard to demonize? Does the Koch family have First Amendment rights just like Soros does? Huh????????????? Or maybe because they differ from your elitist liberal dogma they should be silenced. I’d like to take the Constitution and feed it to you with hot sauce on it. Then maybe that burning feeling in your mouth would help you understand why it exists. It was written to protect us from people like you! If someone wants to start a website and protest something/anything, then that’s their business! If you don’t like it, then move to Venezuela…Hugo would love to have you!

I predicted almost 10 years back that consumer product review magazines would be rendered obsolete. Who would trust those paid off hacks when you could get totally objective views from your fellow consumers on internet message boards and forums?

Then I realized a couple years later that I was both right and wrong. The paid off hacks would still be there, just as phony online identities posing as fellow consumers instead of the obvious professional magazine reviewer.

The nature of propaganda and marketing never changes, it just get slicker.

Show me one registered Democrat that has ever uttered “love it or leave it”.

Which end of the political spectrum is always attacking the ACLU’s outrageous stance on those dirty liberal beliefs like “bill of rights”?

I’m new to your site, so I do hope that you’ll share my post.

“The domain was registered in August, 2008 by Zack Christenson, a dweeby Twitter Republican and producer for a popular Chicago rightwing radio host Milt Rosenberg—a familiar name to Obama campaign people”

Is there anyway that I could verify this? All I have to go on is your good will here… Can you provide a screen-shot or something that shows how you know this?

“Even Facebook pages dedicated to a specific city “tea party” events, supposedly written by people connected only by a common emotion, obviously conformed to the same style. It was as if they were part of a multi-pronged advertising campaign planned out by a professional PR company.”

Again, it would be very easy for you to support this claim. Can you point to specific examples of maybe eight to ten different Facebook pages that were a part of the original movement back in February?

And I have to agree with JP above: “Your article would come across a lot better if you didn’t take every opportunity to hurl insults at the subjects. It goes from being a decent piece of investigation to a typical partisan hit piece. Next time, keep the insulting adjectives to yourself and just present your view.” (And this could be because I’m new to your site.) It’s too bad your poor taste in ad hominem attacks undermines your “journalism.”

Also, have you considered investigating folks like George Soros or Al Gore? The source of their considerable wealth is quite questionable. And have you considered investigating how groups like moveon.org (funded by Soros) coordinate faux-grassroots movements?

Thanks!

Thank you for exposing these libertarian goons for what they really are: hyperactive republican ultra elite robber barons masquerading as rebels. They truly are evil.

“Obama and his goons are the fascists.” No truer words have been said.
