That is so sweet. FreedomWorks endorses Meadows.  FreedomWorks has a colorful history:

“FreedomWorks is a non-profit organization heavily involved with the Tea Party movement.[1] It does not disclose its corporate donors, and its leaders are drawn heavily from the leadership of the Republican party and right-wing operatives. In 2006, the Washington Post revealed that from 2001 - 2006 FreedomWorks engaged in a hidden deal with insurance brokers whereby the brokers would sell high-deductible insurance policies and tax-free medical savings plans to individuals at a group discount, and those who purchased the plans would automatically be added FreedomWorks membership list. Customers unaware of the membership arrangement, for which they were charged extra fees. Membership was a condition of getting the discounted insurance plan…

FreedomWorks has received funding from the tobacco conglomerate Philip Morris. The Guardian also reports that local branches of FreedomWorks’ sister organization, Americans for Prosperity have also received tobacco money and opposes smoke-free workplace laws and cigarette taxes. Freedomworks also opposes tobacco taxes…

In summer of 2009, FreedomWorks began pursuing an aggressive strategy to create the image of mass public opposition to health care and clean energy reform at Congressmembers’ town-hall meetings in their districts. A leaked memo from Bob MacGuffie, a volunteer with the FreedomWorks website “Tea Party Patriots,” describes how members should infiltrate town hall meetings and harass and intimidate Democratic members of Congress:

“Spread out in the hall and try to be in the front half. The objective is to put the Rep on the defensive with your questions and follow-up ... You need to rock-the-boat early in the Rep’s presentation. Watch for an opportunity to yell out and challenge the Rep’s statements early. If he blames Bush for something or offers other excuses—call him on it, yell back and have someone else follow-up with a shout-out ... The goal is to rattle him ...”

In 2008, FreedomWorks was behind the creation of a fake grassroots web site called Angryrenter.com which rallied opposition to “the Obama Housing Bailout”; the site claimed to represent “Renters and responsible homeowners against a government mortgage bailout…

In 2005, FreedomWorks, “a group allied with Bush, sent its members ‘Easter recess action kits’ that included talking points and sample questions for town-hall meetings,” all in favor of George W. Bush’s push to privatize Social Security…

In December 2004, FreedomWorks employee Sandra Jacques was introduced at a White House economic conference as a “single mom” from Iowa who supported the Bush administration’s Social Security privatization plan. According to White House budget director, Jacques was was an example of how Bush promotes his agenda with testimonials from “regular folks.” As the New York Times pointed out, however, “Ms. Jaques is not any random single mother. She is the Iowa state director of a conservative advocacy group…”

FreedomWorks proves itself to be an organization of extremists who advance their goals with lies and dishonesty at every turn.  I guess they see Meadows as one of their own kind.

Mr. “Dionysis,”

Thanks for your thorough investigative work on FreedomWorks and for saving me the trouble. I like all of the things you have presented about them.

Now could you turn your considerable talents to investigating Occupy Wall Street? http://www.owsexposed.com/

“Thanks for your thorough investigative work on FreedomWorks and for saving me the trouble. I like all of the things you have presented about them.”

(1) Who are you trying to kid?  “Saving” you from something you weren’t really going to do anyway?

(2) No doubt you “like” the kind of weasely, dishonest behavior of this group of greed-meisters.  Who could be surprised at that?

“Now could you turn your considerable talents to investigating Occupy Wall Street? http://www.owsexposed.com/”

I’ll turn my “talents” to whereever I choose, but thanks for your unsolicited advice.

Another observation to TPs smarmy post…you don’t want to do “the investigative work…” re: FreedomJerks, nor do you want to spend any time yourself delving into the Occupy movement, but suggest I do it for you.

I believe your lack of success in life cannot be attributed to the hybrid economic system you always rail against, but rather it seems to be simple laziness on your part.

You’re both being smarmy. Please stick to the issues and topics and refrain from sniping at each other.

dont be smarmy, says marmy :)
