Tea Party Community Leaves Facebook, Starts Their Own

Organizers of new social networking site The Tea Party Community have taken Facebook, eliminated the supposed liberal bullying, tossed in tens of thousands of conservatives and mixed it all together with a dash of conspiracy theory to create a new online hub, set to launch officially on Saturday.

The Tea Party Community co-founder Ken Crow tells Fox News, he wants to make it the Facebook alternative for conservatives and the Tea Party movement.

So far, it has drawn upward of 50,000 members, attracted to what Crow calls a “safe haven for the conservative movement where we can share ideas and thoughts and express ourselves without fear of retribution.”

Crow claims that he and other conservatives have been targeted by Facebook and its liberal users simply for attempting to express their political point of view.

“Most of us are subjected to censorship on Facebook,” Crow told Fox News. “I’ve been suspended there as have many of my friends. You also absorb a lot of abuse from liberals.”

While there have been high-profile examples of Facebook removing or threatening to remove conservative-leaning content, Facebook claims to not be involved in any intentional censorship of content.

Some Tea Party activists might be all too familiar with the content Facebook allows.

In Virginia, the Mecklenburg Tea Party drew statewide backlash last year when it refused to remove a series of Facebook photos depicting President Barack Obama as a witch doctor, neanderthal and thug. In that case, the pressure came from the Virginia GOP, not Facebook.

And in 2011, a failed Tea Party candidate unleashed a racial epithet-laden Facebook post that called for the assassination of Obama and his family. The poster later took down the message under his own accord and replaced it with an apology.

As for The Tea Party Community, the website could draw some scrutiny from a design perspective. The basic page layout looks remarkably similar to Facebook's, with a little more in-your-face patriotism sprinkled around the frills.

This is what the death of a political party looks like.

Did you guys see Jon Stewart making fun of Glenn Beck and this pretend fantasy village or whatever

Cool.... I think I'm going to join.

This ought to keep half my family from bothering me on Facebook from now on.

looks like it ain't working. getting DDoS'ed already I would assume.

I'd bet $100 mill they use this as a "WE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE RUSHING TO JOIN, IT CRASHED THE SERVER THIS IS WHAT MURIKA WANTS"

Families are like shitty friends you can't get rid of.

I joined it to see what they are talking about and it's pretty much everything I expected.

what were you expecting?

I expect a deluge of racist anti Obama gifs, pro gun rants and anti Islam rants

liberty or death!

freedom ain't free!

don't tread on me!

illegal go home!

from my cold dead hands!

2nd Amendment and fuck all the rest!

It reminded me of stormfront over there.

We're at war! And the Kenyan shot first!

starla can you invite me

yeah what's the invite only shit. is this their way of keeping black people out?

I can invite anyone but you'll have to trust me w/ your email. I'm not over there under my name either. :] I'm amazed that I've already received friend requests.

bread, erica, let me know if it didn't go through.

I'd really like to troll over there. Thought about writing "I fell down today and blamed Obama because he can't fix our sidewalk properly" just to see what happens.

the invite just takes me to the front page and when i put in my email it takes me right back there. i'll try in IE later

i joined as an elderly black woman

i think there might be more trolls on here than real people. or maybe i just want to believe that. im really not sure
