Awesome. Why would any political group be stupid enough to fuck with anon?
Because most people have no fucking clue what anon/4chan/etc/etc is, or have never heard of it.[/QUOTE]

You're right. They had no idea what it was. that's why they were able to copy the Anon slogan verbatim. Unless I am misunderstanding your point.

The Tea Party explicitly said that they are considering adopting tactics initially used by Anonymous.

Why is everyone so happy about this?
 
They don't have the numbers and AREN'T anonymous? If they do illegal things, it's much easier to point and say "Hey, this guy is in charge of this chapter and is encouraging illegal behavior."
 
I'm thinking this was less likely an instance of the tea party ripping something off without checking to find what/who they were ripping off, and more likely a clever IRL troll by some /b/tard who suggested it or sent it to them or something.

Think about it. If it was someone in Anon, why would the Tea Party think twice about using it if they thought it was good? Someone else gave it to them. If the person was sensible-seeming enough they would have no reason to think it was something they should think twice about.
 
I'm with the channers on this one. While I'm no fan of the /b/tards, I think they actually have a case here. If someone stole the tea party slogans, they would have a shit fit.
