The hacker group Anonymous has attacked Tea Party Nation. We heard through reliable sources that Anonymous, the group that attacked a number of websites around the world would be coming after the Tea Party movement and Tea Party Nation.
We became aware of what Anonymous intended and have been watching. Through things we have seen and sources we have, we were able to confirm that Anonymous was in fact targeting not only the Tea Party movement but Tea Party Nation in particular.
We probably should feel honored that this leftist group has targeted us. It means we are effective.
So far, Anonymous’ attacks have been mostly of the juvenile nature. They have been coming online, posing as Tea Party members and posting racist messages. Those are being deleted quickly. Two nights ago, one of them posted extremely graphic and disturbing pornographic pictures. We discovered it and quickly deleted them. They then sent a suspended message saying, “expect us.”
Yesterday, a friend forwarded something to us from one of the sites frequented by Anonymous.
Anonymous is a very formidable group. They have taken down websites belonging to governments and major corporations. There is little doubt if they tried to take TPN down, they could, at least for a while.
The people who are behind Anonymous allegedly believe in free speech. Of course, with leftist, free speech means free for them and none for those who they disagree with.
At TPN we are going to continue. If you are online and you see something inappropriate or receive an inappropriate email, please report it immediately so we can take care of the problem. Under the help tab is a button that says report an issue. As soon as we are made aware of a problem, we will take care of it. Be sure and include the offending member’s onscreen name so we can quickly investigate and suspend them if necessary.
The assault against freedom comes in all forms, including those who hide their anonymity in cyberspace.

Permalink Reply by Publius Huldah on Well, personally, I find it VERY disappointing that they are not willing to engage us intellectually. I say that any he-man or she-woman who thinks we are wrong would challenge us to a debate!
But they want to post PORN on our site? Tsk, tsk. Sad, really. But if one has no brains, no morals, and knows nothing, porn & insults are all that is left.

We really don't want to debate the far left on this web site! The very title of this attack "Operation Reaganomics", tells much if you follow the threads. An attempt to blame the present suicidal course of the nation on a dead and oft-esteemed former president.
Re-writing history, as usual. Best to ignore this and all other such lunacy! We have no time for this. A good primer about trolls can be found here.
Should you see information that seems quite out of place here at TPN, go to page top click on HELP, select TECH ISSUES? and provide a report containing a description and sufficient information to find the anomaly, wherever it is on the website.
Permalink Reply by Publius Huldah on My point is that they are unable to debate us on the issues. They don't have the intelligence or knowledge. All they can do is spew insults, porn, etc.
And one wouldn't want to waste time on them unless it is a public forum which many in the public would see so as to expose the ignorance & nastiness of the looney left.
Permalink Reply by Vern Shotwell on Agreed. But a public forum this is not! Members occasionally get drawn into the lunacy, and try to respond!
Don't feed the trolls and scan this and it's links in entirity. Quite informative, really. All should now understand this, and a bit about Alinski Methods. All are coming more and more into play, as the level of attacks increase.
Not things we want to know about, things we all need to know about!

I can't thank you enough for that link on trools. This explained them to a tee. Now I know how to handle them. I hope that you all read that link! Thank you again Vern. You are a true Patriot!! :)

Permalink Reply by Katie Baker on Permalink Reply by Vern Shotwell on An interesting tidbit just picked up on their website referencing TPN:
Anonymous Not worth it to rise to their challenge. Anyway, the onlywinning strategy here is to actually get in the forum and provoke old time members into acting out of line, soon as a trusted oldbie gets banned, whether he was true or an anon a long time in disguise... everyone rising to their defense also gets banned, and the forum turns to mush.
Just one of many techniques used. Be careful, be diligent my friends! I've written several times of things we all can do to help this situation. Here is one of the instructive posts!
