The Billings Montana Shrugged TEA Party has issued a “CALL TO ACTION” today (capitalization and inexplicable quotation marks are their own.)
In an email to TEA Party members, Billings TEA Party leader Eric Olsen calls for a boycott of all news. The TEA Party leader says the boycott is needed because news agencies in Billings and elsewhere “are complicit in the destruction of America.”
I have challenged all news agencies in Billings as well as others across the State to report fair and balanced news. They refuse. …They are complicit in the destruction of America. We should cancel our subscriptions. We should not purchase from their advertisers. We should do a mass email campaign against all of them. We have the power to make real change happen. Unified, as one of the largest tea party groups in America, we can make that change start right here in Yellowstone County, Montana.
There is only one news source you can trust apparently. That news sourse is the Yellowstone County TEA Party’s public access television show, The Patriot Chronicles. The shows are popular on YouTube–each show attracting dozens of views, as you can see from the screenshots here, here, and here.
The Patriot Chronicles IS fair and balanced. We report you decide, just like Fox News but without their political bias. Enough said.
Well, not quite enough actually. The very next item in the email? An invitation to the Republican Party’s Annual Fundraising Dinner.
The entire TEA Party email is pasted below the fold.

Dear Friend:
Looks like Montana is welcoming back winter. We were enjoying our extended Indian summer. Wasn’t the weather just great over Christmas and New Years? Global warming is so great. But, alas, it is not so great for the snowbound towns and fuel short towns of Alaska. Record snows and cold up there. We count our blessings here.We three managers of Montana Shrugged would like to thank the recent flurry of contributions that came in over Christmas. We especially would like to thank Greg from Red Lodge for his most generous contribution of $500. These true patriots are helping us carve our way to more activities and rallies.We have a huge battle in front of us this year to get good Constitutional and Fiscal conservatives elected in Montana and across the US. We are feeling real good in this fight for freedom and prosperity. Our belief is that over 100 million citizens follow our movement and support our ideas. With this size of a voter block we WILL change the leadership in America. And it is all thanks to you.Please ask your friends and family to sign up and contribute as you can.We are working on plans for a unique activity for this year’s April 15th rally. We are planning a large event with many surprises. There will be a final Governor Showdown at the OK corral if you will. WE plan on having a real down to earth Hoedown. Stay tuned for details and be sure to put the date on your calendars.We can make this a huge deal for our beliefs. WE can show the non believers that we are here to stay and we are here for all of America. We do not leave out any percentages as the Occupy Wallstreet radicals do. We are America. We are the Silent Majority. Hear US roar.Please read the presentation on the event below and make every attempt to attend. Robert Brown with the John Birch Society is very knowledgeable in the ways of our Constitution. It will be very entertaining and educational to learn about the Greatest Document ever written to rule man. Our Republic needs all of us to educate ourselves and educate others to the wisdom of this great document. We are not a Democracy, where simple majority rules. A democracy is where the socialist elites would have us heading. Well, we the people need to stand up for our Republic and fight for the Constitution.
A note from the John Birch Society -
Robert Brown is coming to town this Tuesday the 17th! It has been some time since we have had the honor of a presentation from Robert. He has agreed to pump us up with a new presentation that he is preparing for video production and national distribution. Among other things, learn about sound money and how our Constitution can keep it that way.
I know this is a short notice but you don’t want to miss Robert’s smooth and entertaining delivery of a topic that we must understand in order to save the economy. Please come and bring a friend!
- 7:00 pm Tuesday 17th
- Lexington Inn and Suites
- 3040 King Ave W.
Please plan on attending this great educational event. I apologize now, but Jennifer and I cannot attend as we are drilling a horizontal well north of Roundup, Montana. Yes, the rumors are true, we are actually drilling a well in Montana, not Pennsylvania, not Wyoming, not North Dakota. Can you believe that?
Oh, and Jennifer, my wife, and I would like to thank the completely misguided cowardly liberal who keeps sending the awful postcards harassing us and our family. It is only to be expected that liberals hide behind fences, blog sites, harassing mail, op eds, etc. to try to make their point. The problem is that they have no point that they can stand on. They have no base or legs to stand on. They are poor misguided souls, led completely by ignorance and by the lies of the Democratic Socialist elites. Cowards they are.
I have challenged all Democratic political legislators to discuss the important issues of the day on my television interview show and none have accepted. I have challenged all Republican political appointees and candidates and they have all accepted in one manner or another.
I have challenged all news agencies in Billings as well as others across the State to report fair and balanced news. They refuse. They show their ignorance and their political bent by supporting the likes of Occupy Wallstreet and their totally misguided mission statements. They ignore the one and only grassroots movement that has come along in the past 100 years that supports Constitutional and fiscally sound issues. Issues that are so critical to our survival as the greatest country on earth. What are they thinking? Oh, they are not. I forgot that they too are completely controlled by the liberal elitists such as George Soros.
Obama is playing his fiddle while America burns and they pull the wool over their reader’s eyes. They are complicit in the destruction of America. We should cancel our subscriptions. We should not purchase from their advertisers. We should do a mass email campaign against all of them. We have the power to make real change happen. Unified, as one of the largest tea party groups in America, we can make that change start right here in Yellowstone County, Montana.
I have personally invited Senators Baucus and Tester to come on and discuss issues to no avail. All I get is that somewhat polite but quiet approval but always a no show. Are these the kind of leaders that we need? I think not.
I have to take my hat off to Congressman Denny Rehberg as he has braved my show for an hour and one half in the past year. The Patriot Chronicles IS fair and balanced. We report you decide, just like Fox News but without their political bias.
Enough said. As you can tell there is lots of work to do. We need your help to increase membership and increase contributions.
God Bless you all and God Bless America.

By far, the best thing about Olsen is that he starts 70% of his posts and tweets with “OMG.”
It makes his insane rants much more amusing to imagine them coming for a thirteen year old.
That is so funny. I noticed it awhile back.
It’s like all his tweets are revelations that just came to him and deserve an OMG!
I want to know who the legless person is that is sending the postcards
“….the completely misguided cowardly liberal who keeps sending the awful postcards harassing us and our family. It is only to be expected that liberals hide behind fences, blog sites, harassing mail, op eds, etc. to try to make their point. The problem is that they have no point that they can stand on.

I have legs so it must not be me. Maybe cowgirl has no legs.
yow.
Larry, Couldn’t have made a better statement myself! LOL!
Poor widdle Eric Oilscum. He’s just “SO” brave. He’s issued I don’t HOW many challenges that have gone unanswered by the cowardly liebruls. But I guess Mr. Oilscum is just “TOO” brave to show up on the most popular site in Montana to test his “IDEAS”, goofy as they are, in the market place of ideas. Guess that makes him a loser. He’s just a regular Brave Fart! Wonder how long Brave Fart would last on this site?
Start here, Oilscum, with your jokes about global warming.
http://3blmedia.com/theCSRfeed/While-Washington-Waits-Investors-Act-Climate-Change
He’s not quite there yet, but those English as a second language classes seem to be doing Mr. Olsen some good.
There is alot wrong with our news but..
The Tea Party and Republicans get a lot more Air/print time than OWS has.
I guess because they did not show a shot of the HUGH crowd the news is biased.

It’s important to remember that actual patriots never refer to themselves as patriots.
“John Birch Society is very knowledgeable in the ways of our Constitution. It will be very entertaining and educational to learn about the Greatest Document ever written to rule man.”
What about the Bible?
Gilbert, our founding fathers were John Birch Society members! Oh wait. That’s right. The Birch society was formed by the Big Kocks Brothers’ DADDY! My bad. Hey, if ya got forty-five BILLION dollars, you can buy LOTS of retards like Eric Oilscum!
What do you make of the reaction to Agenda 21, LK?

Makes me wonder just what he’s putting in the tea he’s drinking.
Nothing, James, it’s probably hemp tea.
Or maybe not, rigs have pee tests.
Gonna be an interesting year.
January 19, 2009 nmeubr 8 just reminded me of how my former boss thought i didn’t know how to use a cutter and lock a doorknob.
Liberal media bias is so widespread these days it’s become a cliche–yet for some reason you folks haven’t caught on. Who is the smart one here and who is the dummy?
Well, you’re one of the dumb ones, but why do you ignore the possibility that both sides are challenged? That they are dumb does not make you smart, and your “librul media” tells me you don’t even think your own thoughts. If you got something interesting to say, now’s the time, chump.
your liberal media….
http://tmh.floonet.net/articles/cia_press.html
If you are owned by Disney you are not liberal. Teapublicans love to pretend there is a liberal media so when the facts don’t agree with there tiny view of the world they can just dismiss it as liberal media.
FYI you are the dummy, but don’t worry Eric Olsen is by far one of the dumbest people in Montana.
Who is “Owned by Disney? ” and where us the outrage over Jon Tester, who is owned by the enviros. Give me a break.

Tester is owned by the enviros? That will be news to Koehler and the rest. You just outed yourself as a simple troll Drilldo.
one of these enviros?
http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/contrib.php?cycle=2012&cid=N00027605&type=I&newmem=N
My wet dream . . . a Senator brave enough to stand up and do the bidding of the “enviros.”
Sigh.
no danger.
Spare me your fake outrage. A simple look at Testers donors shows a long list of greenie lobbyists
The previous commenter implied that he knew of politicians owned by Disney-then he cuts and pastes a list oh their corporate holdings. Please.
Green is alot better than BP, EXXON etc. Companies that make money by Killing people, then lying about it.
Most of Tester’s donors still have their souls unlike Denny and his buddies.
could have used a little green…
around the berkeley pit…NO?
I believe the post ‘owned by Disney’ was referring to the ‘liberal’ media, which Disney indeed owns its fair share of
non of the disney’s were “liberal” anything.
slightly less aggressive than the kochs.
Funny, you say “A simple look at Testers donors shows a long list of greenie lobbyists” but there’s only one green donor in his top 20 thanks to rleeh link. I think your definition of a simple look means just ignoring the reality and to make up your own. I know the right (and trolls in general) don’t like to let actual facts get in the way of screaming the same falsehoods, misrepresentations and plain lies as if they were fact…but at some point doesn’t being wrong (and artificially proud of it) get really old? Doesn’t it wear on ya?
Tester has green donors…fine, and good for him IMO. But you’d be much better served by making an argument that represents the facts even if a thin one. Why don’t you complain that he’s in the pocket of the banking industry so you could at least you could be almost be considered as being ‘factual?’
Sen. Tester in Lame Deer and at Big Horn College visiting with veterans:

Morons aren’t born, they are made–in this one’s case by locking himself in the echo chamber and throwing away the key. Here is my question– who are the three leaders he is talking about ? We know Jennifer Olson and her dad Eric- who is the third? General Skees? Birthed Bob?
Jan Linn
The Patriot Chronicles on public access cable..thats outstanding. Sounds like Wayne’s World for baggers.
Patriot on Garth.
Hahahahahaha!! They posted this on their blog, with one change. They removed the announcement for the Annual Republican Dinner at the end, following their claim to be unbiased. Too funny.
I had the distinct impression that the Tea Party folk had given up watching news long ago.
After reading much of their replies and comments…. I think you impression still stands!
And how did all six teabaggers respond?
Yep, the teagaggers are gagged by any news other the Faux News, WorldNUTdaily, the MoonieTimes, cnsNOOZE, the OXYclown, Kneel b4 ME BOREtz and the rest of those teaparty shepherds. One-hundred million teaparty followers? Lmao…yeah, there may be 100 million people following the “NEWS” regarding their willingness to destroy American, but in the sense of the word “follow” most of them do not ‘SUPPORT’ the teaparty.
Heck, the teaBaggers even bastardized the REAL tea party event in Boston which was done in protest against Mother England and the British East India Company monopoly. England gave the East India Company a competitive advantage through taxation, you know, like the Republicans are always doing for wealthy Corporations with their supply side VOODOO?!?
Yep I wrote about this before on my old blog! It actually had to do more with the Stamp Tax, and also the Cronyism of the Kings chruch! Apparently, after the Boston Tea Party about a year later the stamp tax was put on the whole of the 13 colonies for what happened in Boston, plus the French and Indian War bills were placed squarely on the people of the new world! Not to mention that the people who ran each commonwealth the King didn’t like, were removed from office stripped of all titles and lands!
There was also the the Kings clergy who spied upon the doings of the people, and reported, jailed, and killed all who did not confirm to the Kings wishes! America for a hundred years was run by a ruthless tyrant! The Tea party of today want the same job as the spys for the King!
really?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Tea_Party
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamp_Act_1765
This is a great idea! All teabaggers should immediately turn off their TV, and unplug their computers, and cancel all newspaper and magazine subscriptions! Don’t be turnin’ on that radio either! I wholeheartedly support this boycott on behalf of all the baggers out there! Turk UR JOBS!
Should we start a pool on how long it will take for them to drink the “special” punch or build a compound ?
My favorite line: “Our belief is that over 100 million citizens follow our movement and support our ideas.”
Yeah, sure there are 100,000,000 Americans supporting the tea tards! Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure they are!
By “greenies” do you mean people who want to breath fresh air and drink clean water? When did it become cool to litter and pollute? When did it become the American way to not take care of your home?
These Tea Party types have been convinced to hate America while calling themselves patriots. I don’t think “patriot” means what they think it means.
I have been sitting back and just watching and listening and reading. and i will misspell my words and mess up the gramer just to give you all something more repulsive to gripe about.
everyone wants change, however, everyone is still willing to put the same type of men in office. these men are no different now then they where then. the are like a computor program just given a new look. these people have done absolutly nothing for this country other then drive it in to the ground, they disregard your rights like throughing out a glass of water. everyone is all so angree, i’m going to do this i’m going to do that we are going to get together and force change. but you no what, all i here is bla bla bla bla. and all i see is everone getting sucked into the old lies again. do you people understand that the olny way to accomplish change in this country is take the politian out of the senerio. [ are you mad yet? ] we need toget together and put an average man in this office who knows what it’s like to fill the pain and the loss of what he had, we need a man that can say i’m the father that can not support his family any more, i’m the mother who can not feed her children any more, i’m the parent who can not spend time with my childern because i’m working two jobs. that is the man we need in the office of the presidentcy this time. a man who can relate to the average everyday men and women. well i think i met a man that can do the job the right way, a man who could get this country back on track. you can not create jobs or a better economy when people are in fear of spending because they do not no what tommorrow brings.
look up his web site. his name is Robert Manis. I met him in billings last year 2011. very nice man here is his web site take a look and help this man as i am. so if you want change stop crying and start making a differance. wow, that felt good. robertmanisforpresident.com good reading go look. stand up and start makeing a true differance and stop crying. or it well only get worse, and the you will have no one to blame but your own selves. wake up! America….i also think ron paul is good, but he should have ran as an independant. you owe no allegents to any party remember that. {are you mad yet, good i hope so. congrets on reading to the end} now get up and do somehting worth wild. make november 2012 really count this time.
