Alex Pappas reports:
The Republican National Committee is paying for signs and political buttons used by Tea Party groups — despite widespread disagreement among the conservative, grassroots activists on whether the movement should work to elect candidates within the Republican party or steer clear from it.
The items, paid for by the RNC, were on full display at a Friday press conference of Tea Party activists in Washington. At the afternoon event at the Capitol Hill Suites, activists in town for the “Take the Town Halls to Washington” project passed out the red-white-and-blue buttons and signs emblazoned with the words “Listen to Me!”
Text at the bottom of the sign reads: “Paid for by the Republican National Committee.”

Corporate sponsorship for a movement full of people who have been bamboozled into thinking they've joined a populist movement—-P.T. Barnum would've loved the teabaggerz

A crock as usual… the RNC has nothing to do with 'tea parties'. Typical nonsense from liberal Weigel again.

Is Dick Armey part of the GOP? Then the Tea Parties are bought and owned by the GOP. Period.

Right, whatever! Those “bad” conservatives must keep you awake all night worrying about their values. I suppose you'd prefer Americans to remain uniformed and lazy on the dole. While you're at it why not “report” that the DNC never funded anything liberal, the Clintons never lied on national TV and the former junior senator from Illinois is not a corporate gangster. Idiot!

The GOP have been trying to usurp the baggers almost from the time the first bagger held a sign. Take off your blinders and take a look around before YOU post idiotic comments.

“…uniformed & lazy on the dole”—-? I don't wear a uniform, and the last time I heard the term 'on the dole' it was from a drunken & ranting Margaret Thatcher at a luncheon appearance in Orange County, Calif—-she, however would've said 'eejit!'

Sponsored conversation has become a potent tool for brands that want to reach new markets or increase their exposure within their current space. You can use this marketing strategy to leverage blogs, which continue to gain momentum in the media, within the search engines, and among a growing audience of loyal readers. But, like any tool, sponsored conversations can be as damaging as they are effective. The key to using them effectively is in your approach.
