Tea party activists in Florida file lawsuit against a GOP consultant and his ally over who has the right to use the name “Tea Party.”

Gotta love this quote that one of the plaintiffs gave TPMmuckraker:

We have a very successful movement, similar to the Civil Rights movement, or women’s suffrage. And we have a political entity that’s trying to take advantage of that. They’re trying to take that success and momentum and hijack it for their own political and/or personal needs.

As Arlo Guthrie would say, “Friends, they may thinks it’s a movement.”
