Fair enough.

But now that I’m aware this grassroots movement is nothing more than chaos with the ability to email, I’m not impressed.

The real problem isn’t that she wasn’t able to organize properly, it’s that she went nuts and starting making it into a federal case. And people are siding with her.

It’s a simple mistake. There’s a simple solution. Instead of just learning from the experience, she’s making the entire tea party movement look like a bunch of whiny complainers instead of a legitimate protest.

She’s done a lot more harm than she realizes. The vocals will rush to her side and claim the evil government is trying to shut her down, but the mainstream are just going to roll their eyes and think of the entire thing’s run by fruitcakes.
