GIGLI Cofounder Ennenbach Bizarrely Accuses Me of "Hacking"

Remember GIGLI, the completely ineffective astroturf group formed after there was a split in the St. Louis Tea Party?  They have now completely given up on pretending to be a real "grassroots" group and haven't posted anything new on Twitter for over a month.  And recall that unlike the St. Louis Tea Party which actually did organize rallies with hundreds of people in their prime, GIGLI hasn't done anything to show they could organize themselves out of a paper bag.  But they don't need to because the St. Louis media will dutifully pretend they're an actual group without requiring them to establish any credentials.

Anyway, that's all just a long aside to introduce the latest bizarre conspiracy theory about me.  GIGLI co-founder Jen Ennenbach is bizarrely suggesting that I'm "hacking" her Twitter account.  Why? I have no idea, but we can be sure that they'll never provide any evidence to back up the claim, just like they don't with their nutty "SEIU blogger" conspiracy theories.  Anyway, here's the absurd tweet:

Suprise! Another Member of Tea Party Splinter Group Actually Working for the Establishment...Against the Tea Party

As was previously noted, the St. Louis Tea Party split because of infighting between supporters of tea party candidate Ed Martin and those of establishment candidate Ann Wagner in the GOP primary for Missouri's Second District. Unsurprisingly, Adam Sharp of Sharp Elbows is in the "completely without actual principles" camp and sided with the new splinter group GIGLI. But what I didn't realize is that Sharp was already working on behalf of the establishment even before this whole kerfuffle started.

I've previously noted that there's a strong tea party challenger to GOP establishment Senator Dick Lugar. Lugar has repeatedly insulted the tea party during his campaign. Ann Wagner, unsurprisingly, is supporting Lugar and even hosted a fundraiser for him. And, coincidence of coincidences, it just so happens that Adam Sharp was sent to do a hit piece on Lugar's tea party challenger Richard Mourdock.

The video is the usual whining and declarations of being the world's biggest victim from Sharp, but what's hilarious is that he's using these tactics to attack fellow tea partiers. He goes to the event in a different state specifically for the purpose of harassing the candidate, interrupts their program, and then acts offended when people don't want to talk to him. It's great comedy.

Here's the video:


Sharp, by the way, is close friends with Chip Gerdes, whom the St. Louis Tea Party accused of writing a hit piece on Ed Martin for Breitbart's site.

Suprise! Gateway Astroturf Initiative's Scott Boston Is Big Ann Wagner Supporter!

As was mentioned previously, the mission statement for Dana Loesch's new group, the Gateway Astroturf Initiative (codename GIGLI) was copy and pasted by a former employee of the national astroturf organization, the Tea Party Patriots. And, wouldn't you know it, that employee Scott Boston just happens to be a big Ann Wagner fan!

You can see on his Twitter feed that he regularly RTs Ann Wagner's campaign announcements:



You get the idea. He also promoted Gateway Pundit's defense of Ann Wagner and attack on Ed Martin:

So the former employee of a national astroturf organization supports the GOP establishment candidate? Who woulda thunk it!
