C'mon. FauxNews is not promoting the teabagging parties. They're just reporting the news.

Yeah...that's the ticket.

Organizers Give Recipes for Effective Tea Parties
As an inherently decentralized movement, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to hold a Tea Party protest. But there are a few tricks to maximize the affect of your message, organizers tell FOXNews.com.
By Joshua Rhett Miller

Activists are brewing more than 500 rallies nationwide to protest "runaway government spending" as part of the Tax Day Tea Party movement. Crowds of up to 10,000 -- many of whom are believed to be participating in political protest for the first time -- are expected at major events from Atlanta to San Antonio to Sacramento on Wednesday.

Smaller movements are scheduled in all 50 states. Organizers say up to 20,000 could flood City Hall Park in New York City, where Newt Gingrich is scheduled to speak.

As an inherently decentralized movement, there's no "right" or "wrong" way to hold a Tea Party protest. But there are a few tricks to maximize the effect of your message, organizers tell FOXNews.com.

"I recommend getting some kind of organizing committee together," said Amy Kremer, national event coordinator for TaxDayTeaParty.com. "You definitely can't do it alone."

Using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, Kremer suggested would-be Tea Party organizers contact friends, relatives and colleagues to spread the word while simultaneously setting up a Web site for the cause. Once that happens, "people start coming out of the woodwork to volunteer," said Kremer, adding that local radio stations and newspapers are also a good way to disseminate event details.

Another key part of the process is to determine a central location and to acquire a permit and insurance for your protest, if applicable. Depending on the municipality, permits can be free or cost up to a few thousand dollars, Kremer said.

The next consideration should be your message, according to John O'Hara, membership manager for the Heartland Institute, a Chicago-based think tank promoting limited government.

"You want to think about an agenda and your speakers, as well as logistics," O'Hara said. "Are you going to have a stage and system?"

1. That's like reporting on how to make a bomb. "As an inherently creative process, there's no right or

wrong way to make a bomb. But there are a few tricks to maximize the effects of your... eh, bomb."

3. Or..."There's no right or wrong way to hate 'Merca..."

If the shoe was on the other foot - with progressive protesters in the streets, one could only imagine the nature of coverage from the "parade of propaganda" whores at FauxNews.

2. Faux is promoting its own product.....

..... Would anyone be shocked to find out that Murdoch is the force behind the Tea parties?

4. How come they aren't reporting the news on the "A New Way Forward" protests? They ain't reporting -

never have, never will. FauxNews doesn't report, they persuade through perversion of the truth.

7. That's an excellent question.

5. WHere are the buses?

I would be surprised if this garbage attracts much attention except from the real right, and I think mostly this is nothing more than an attempt to rally the faithful AND get an idea of how many of them there really are.

What would be revealing, to me at least, is finding out how these people show up (if any do) and where the money is coming from to organize these freak shows, i.e. who pays for the buses, etc?

SUrely FAUX isn't going to ferry them all in using their own trucks.

Tea-bagging. What Madison Avenue wunderkinder came up with that choice of words, I'm wondering.

hehehehehehe
