Tea Party Community: The Conservative Facebook a.k.a. the internet's new trolling grounds

**Milkster** · 2013-02-01 13:34

Organizers of new social networking site The Tea Party Community have taken Facebook, eliminated the supposed liberal bullying, tossed in tens of thousands of conservatives and mixed it all together with a dash of conspiracy theory to create a new online hub, set to launch officially on Saturday.
The Tea Party Community co-founder Ken Crow tells Fox News, he wants to make it the Facebook alternative for conservatives and the Tea Party movement.
So far, it has drawn upward of 50,000 members, attracted to what Crow calls a “safe haven for the conservative movement where we can share ideas and thoughts and express ourselves without fear of retribution.”
Crow claims that he and other conservatives have been targeted by Facebook and its liberal users simply for attempting to express their political point of view.
“Most of us are subjected to censorship on Facebook,” Crow told Fox News. “I’ve been suspended there as have many of my friends. You also absorb a lot of abuse from liberals.”
While there have been high-profile examples of Facebook removing or threatening to remove conservative-leaning content, Facebook claims to not be involved in any intentional censorship of content.
Some Tea Party activists might be all too familiar with the content Facebook allows.
In Virginia, the Mecklenburg Tea Party drew statewide backlash last year when it refused to remove a series of Facebook photos depicting President Barack Obama as a witch doctor, neanderthal and thug. In that case, the pressure came from the Virginia GOP, not Facebook.
And in 2011, a failed Tea Party candidate unleashed a racial epithet-laden Facebook post that called for the assassination of Obama and his family. The poster later took down the message under his own accord and replaced it with an apology.
As for The Tea Party Community, the website could draw some scrutiny from a design perspective. The basic page layout looks remarkably similar to Facebook's, with a little more in-your-face patriotism sprinkled around the frills.

It took me a second to remember how to post. Here's my first attempt:

Yeah, damn that stupid government, who do they think they are being elected to represent us! Who gave them the right to make decisions on our behalf? That's definitely NOT in the constitution!!!

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-02-01 14:23

^This so much

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-02-01 14:37

It's kind of a challenge, finding something to say that is obviously incorrect, say it forcefully with erratic capitalization and punctuation, and make it seem like in doing so you agree with whoever is posting.

Kinda fun.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2013-02-01 14:42

wait wait, so now we'll be able to find all the tea party people and make fun of them at the same time? It's like a miracle, or it would be if those existed.

**Tyrath** · 2013-02-01 14:42

It'd be better if the site wasn't slow as shit.

**archibaldcrane** · 2013-02-01 14:43

Yeah, kinda drags the experience down.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2013-02-01 14:44

It's probably just right for the people legitimately posting there though.
