This is just adorable.

Oregon Tea Party said:

Anonymous: We appreciate your resources and admire your tactics. You have taught us more than you know. As you requested we are no longer using the "anonymous" quote.

That. Is. PHENOMENAL!!!

Thou shalt not fuck with Anonymous, for Anonymous has resources far in excess of anything you have ever dreamed of.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Beautiful.

That made me so happy.

Awesome. Why would any political group be stupid enough to fuck with anon?

Tea Party = Your answer right there

This means Tea Party is nothing but a bunch of trolls, right?

I find that insulting.

Hey, that doesn't mean that Troll is a bunch of Tea Partiers!

No, I think they are a bunch of GasBandits.

No, no guys, the Tea Party people are serious. GB and Trolls do it for fun.

They did it for the lulz

Because most people have no fucking clue what anon/4chan/etc/etc is, or have never heard of it.

Hahaha, this brightened my day. Silly teabaggers.

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.

You would think the person that ripped it off would have looked around a bit.

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."

If they actually wanted to be anonymous, they shouldn't have signed their billboard with their contact info.

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 can't wait to see the pool's closed campaign.

both groups are /b/tarded

I decided to look up the facebook page to see what has been underway.


A response made by a poster....

Oh god. What a pack of morons.

Yes, but they are funny morons.

I can't decide who is dumber. It's such a hard decision...

Copypasta!

So? which is more racist anonymous or the tea partiers?

Tea Party. They practically painted a bull's eye on themselves for 4Chan.

Yeah... I still can't tell.

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.

Oh, I think the tp'ers are about as dumb as you can get, thats for sure, I mean, the slogan doesn't even work for them.

my dream scenario would be to see 2ch, 4chan, the tea party and scientologists in a four way internet cage match.

Now that is a solution I can get behind.

Don't you need to actually exist to claim ownership legally? I mean, we all know Anon is real, but seeing as it's a group the revels and protects the anonymity of it's members (which is the entire point), it's not like they could send a lawyer to a court house to sue for anything. You'd need at least some of it's members to show up to act as claimants and the second one of them does, it effectively nullifies the entire point of the group.

They think of themselves as internet-based vigilantes who are ghosts to the real world. Do you think they'll prefer the legal channels, or a strategy of harassment and increasingly serious pranks?

Whatever they are to the legal world doesn't matter. Anonymous thinks it exists, and will act accordingly.

The only think of themselves as vigilantes half the time. The other half, they think of themselves as an army of super villains, ready to ruin your day for absolutely no reason other than they can.

Oh come on, it's not even that complicated. "Anonymous" is just the lynch/riotous mob from the cities of yore, except on the internet. It follows the same logic pretty much throughout.

Either way, how likely is it that they even want to hire lawyers?

By "case", I wasn't speaking of the legal definition. I was just saying they had a point in calling out those Tea Party twits.
