Anonymous Punishes the Oregon Tea Party

[Avashnea]

I think it was just words to get Anonymous off t heir backs. The phrase isn't copyrighted or trademarked at all. All the macro moves and spamming that Anonymous uses is just retarded in my opinion.if you don't want someone to use your slogan, copyright it

They CAN'T copyright the 'We are Legion' part, since they stole it themselves.

 

[Avashnea]

It is not nice to take anothers designated slogan, kudos Anonymous, well done. I am not afraid that the tea party admires and has learned from Anonymous. After all, there are many lessons to be learned in defeat.

Kudos for what? Anon stole the 'We are Legion' line themselves!

Technically speaking, the only copy-righted form of the text is "We are Legion, for we are many"

SImply "We are legion" is a saying, meaning (redundently in the case above) we are many. Anyonw can take it really, but it was already explained why they cannot copyright it a few days ago

I will always be amazed how the most utterly reprehensible creatures and entities will be allowed endless berth when they are compared to anyone or anything that dares to question the policies of the Obama administration.

Anyone is free to question Obama's administration whenever the fuck they feel like it. Valid argument or not, though preferably valid. Most of the Faux Tea Party protests are rhetoric soundbytes (which are mostly heard from the mouth of Sarah Palin, no less), designed by the ultra right wing in whom really could know fuck all about the political and economic process of their own country, mostly using fear-mongering and historically inaccurate religious soundbytes to gather their masses.

That is not to say the Obama administration is in any way flawless (which it definitely is not), but comparing said administration to the Third Reich under Hitler, Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's Republic of China, and a few other despotic regimes with hints of Socialist policy within them is really intellectually.. pathetic. And wrong.

I'm pretty sure only someone who is not anonymous could copyright/trademark a phrase, making the act a pretty counter-intuitive one. Anyways, they're pretty much enforcing their own copyright. Not a "legal" copyright, but what are laws but those things society wanted and could enforce?

 

[conflictofinterests]

I find it kind of disturbing that a bunch of trolls can really make a difference in real life.

 

[Dogstile]

I wish they would take a swing at US politics just for lulz

You mean like hacking Sarah Palins e-mail? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin_email_hack]

I'm raging at how he got prosecuted over unauthorised access to a computer, when he never actually accessed her computer.

You know what, I'm not Glenn Beck. I don't watch Glenn Beck, I don't really like Glenn Beck. He'd be a great stand up comedian, not so much a political commentator. That having been said, all people who are conservative to whatever degree are not Glenn Beck. With the obvious exception of Glenn Beck, who is actually a Libertarian. (Shock and awe!)

And everything you've just driveled about the Tea Party could easily be said about Moveon.org or Code Pink or any other large ultra-liberal group. And it would probably be about as accurate, if not more so. I'm just saying do some actual research instead of vomiting out what Jaeneane Garofolo or Bill O' Reilly or any other loudmouth spin doctor tells you.

Never did say you were, now did I? And yes, there are fundamental.. well, idiots on both sides, no question there. Though most of my Tea Party knowledge actually comes from the sites they themselves have developed, along with knowledgeable conservatives such as Tenmar on these very forums. So the spin doctor thing doesn't really work. I don't even know who the fuck Jeaneane Garofolo is?

Excuse me for the blanket generalization though.

I find it funny that people are still commenting me on this. I was already corrected in much simpler terms by one of the crew of LRR (Loading Ready Run). I conceded that I was wrong and that his logic was sould. If you're going to corret a post, please read that I have not been corrected already.

I really don't like an inbox of people correcting me days later after admitting I was wrong.

What I'd like is if people to research things before they open their mouth and simply regurgitate Jon Stewart in my face. I do respect dissenting opinion if it's well presented.

Yes, those poor, restricted Obama critics who are still somehow able to protest armed, make stories up entirely, and so on.

Does it not bother you that your narrative is not supported by the real world?

Welcome to how Liberals felt during the Bush years(minus the Stewart).

What is a well presented argument in your opinion? Is it your arguments? The ones where you constantly compare other people's speech to throwing up?

BTW many repeat Stewart because they trust him, maybe they shouldn't but I personally wouldn't trust any news source in the US to report on the US or it's politics, which reduces the potential research material to Canadian news and what other countries may have heard being shouted from across an ocean.

The campaign was clearly a win and entertaining as always, but does anyone else find it disturbing that the Tea Party [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement], which bills itself as a legitimate voice of conservative political dissent in the United States, "admires" the tactics of Anonymous?

Not really - Anonymous is the ultimate grassroots organization. Like minded people, who band together for a cause, with no central leadership or organizational force to enact social change (or whatever).

Anonymous is basically crowdsourced activism, for better or worse, so to that extent it is worthy of admiration.

Yeah, they're dicks, but they're dicks in a way that is goddamn fascinating to watch.

I have yet to come across a better description of, "Anonymous." That sums them up very nicely.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

These Anonymous boys are obviously a force to be reckoned with. Spamming Facebook over a petty dispute will sure show somebody...

This is why when the world ends I'll be that crazy guy who lives in the cabin and eats people he drugs. I have never seen anything this group of rejects have done be more impressive than a prank. My Grandmother knew more about psychological warfare.

They got something over 10,000 people to all show up outside the main European Scientology building wearing Guy Fawkes masks in protest of the church, that they consider a cult.

No matter your view of the legitimacy of Scientology, that is no prank.

OT:

I'm glad they are doing this. Not because I care about anonymous all that much, but because I dislike the Tea Party.

Agreed, I'm also still raging that it was an entirely wasted opportunity because he freaked the fuck out. He did the crime, he was going to do the time... he may as well have seen it through, made copies of all her shit and put it up on wiki leaks.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

This is interesting. Why is it that Anonymous is more influential political movement than an actual political movement? There is a subtle irony in this situation that is amusing me to no end.

Because neither group is a political party I'd say? Because anonymous has plenty of experience being trolls in certain circles and the Tea Party is still learning the ropes?

 

[Romblen]

Wow anon, you take a Bible verse, and then act like others can steal from you. How clever, this group is pathetic at best.

 

[PatrickXD]

So that's what Oregon was all about, the message was up there for ages. Looks like Moot finally planned a raid himself then. Gotta love anon, when they get coordinated, you join them or get the fuck outta there way.
