The American Liberty Alliance are some of the people behind the Teabagging movement. They are arch-teabaggers. They are also the group behind RecessRally.com.
This is about the real, down-to-Earth grassroots Americans behind American Liberty Alliance Because they're not all just a bunch of former Republican congressional staffers, Republican operatives, noted conservative pundits as well as Republican PR/Marketing gurus. Really. I mean it. Not all of them. The administrative assistant seems totally genuine. Okay, that's one...
No one is suggesting that these groups are paying people to attend town hall meetings. And no one is saying it's bad when conservatives organize. The difference: Organizing for America and Health Care Action Now do not stand to profit from the maintenance of the status quo. The insurance companies, health care providers and drug manufacturers who fund groups like ALA, American Majority, Americans for Prosperity, Conservatives for Patients' Rights etc. DO stand to profit from the maintenance of the status quo. Thus, when they spend money to bus people around the country, not to mention disseminating material designed to ELIMINATE debate, not foster it, then all their arguments seem disingenuous.
We all have a right to free speech. That means you can shout whatever you want, but the moment you start shouting over someone else and depriving them of their right to free speech, that's when activism becomes Un-American. If two or more people act to deprive a third party of their constitutional rights, that is known as a Civil Conspiracy and is a legitimate cause of action in a court of law.
