Editor’s Note: We at the Chronicle always try to give the facts to our readers. Mr. McClellan is on our Staff and we are glad to have him. He is also a Political Strategist .
We want you our readers to know this. We would like to know what you think. dan@goldcoastchronicle.com
The lies and deception continue from the unscrupulous guys that started the Florida Tea Party (Political Party) to take advantage of unaware Grassroots Tea party Patriots. I just received the following message from a friend:
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
Doug Guetzloe I’m sorry to report that many people have received some really bad information about Nick Egoroff; Fred O’Neal and the Florida TEA PARTY.
They are great Patriots and the totally false information that is being put outis not true and we believe it is being distributed by corporate GOP interests thatwant to sow discord …in… our Patriotic tea party movement.
Several of these groups are being heavily funded by those that want to continue the RINO wing of our Party. We are asking several of these groups disclose their finances so that all Patriots can see who is behind the curtain-so far no response as to their corporate benefactors.
The Florida Tea Party is not affiliated with any of these other groups and the TEA Party contributions and expedenditures are publicly posted. Pay them no mind. Check it out for yourself at www.FloridaTEAParty.us
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
On Saturday I receive an email from Doug Guetzloe begging to talk to me about the article I wrote exposing the Florida Tea Party. I have not and have no intention of calling him back since there is nothing he could add that would be of value.
I have also been informed that he likes to threaten people with lawsuits to intimidate them as is been noted by other blogs and websites that have the name Tea Party that the Florida Tea Party has threatened to sue if they did not change their name. Beyond that, I do not intimate easily.
My article speaks of what they have done to disgrace themselves and misrepresented themselves to thousands of people that were unaware that the Grassroots TEA Party that they are so proud of has been hijacked.
Every person I have spoken with since I wrote the article has been shocked to find this out. This shock has been soon followed by anger and after reading this I feel they will also be embarrassed by Mr. Guetzloe inability to spell and his grammar is horrendous.
Hardly something you look for in a leader, not to mention the deception. misrepresentation and intimidation.
Since I am the one that wrote the article exposing the Florida Tea Party’s taking advantage is the good hard working people that have stood on street corners, holding “their” homemade signs, taken time off work, traveled to Washington and other city to protest the excessive spending by our Government only to be ignored.
I am one of those people and as I mentioned in the article myself and 2 other held the first Tea Party in Fort Lauderdale without any corporate, lobbyists or the Republican Party being involved.
They have all been peaceful protests by true American Patriots.
Mr. Guetzloe comical and pitifully desperate attempt to act like a Conservative is unfortunately not amusing. To set the record straight these guys are no Patriots, they are opportunist, deceptive, narcissistic and are clearly only in this to build perceived power for them.
Mr. Guetzloe is the main character in the cast of three (Fredric O’Niel and Nick Egoroff) that are doing this to the Grassroots Tea Party Patriots.
This is evidenced by the fact that Nick Egoroff is no longer the speaker for the scam of a party and now Mr. Guetzloe has taken over, apparently for damage control.
I should point out that I have been watching this since Nick Egoroff had the grievance filed against him by the RPOF (Republican Party of Florida). I watched his YouTube Video, I listened and read as he began to turn bitter against the Republican Party and finally to the point we are now with the ultimate slap in the face to Conservatives.
I will respond here to Mr. Guetzloe outlandish claims: (The spelling and grammar has been left the way Mr. Guetzloe wrote it.)
1) false information that is being put outis not true and we believe it is being distributed by corporate GOP interests thatwant to sow discord …in…our Patriotic tea party movement.
Tim McClellan: There is no “corporate GOP interests” involved in exposing the truth that they have created a Party to steal the Grassroots Tea Party Patriot’s from the people.
Remember one is a Democrat and the other two are disgruntled ex-Republicans that clearly have large chips on their shoulders. Enough of a chip to try to destroy the chance of Republican’s chances of winning in some races by splitting up the Conservative votes thus giving the Democrats a win since they are not splitting their votes.
2) Several of these groups are being heavily funded by those that want to continue the RINO wing of our Party.
Tim McClellan: there are no groups and are you saying you have RINO’s in your Florida Tea Party? You are not in “our” Republican Party so they must be in The Florida tea Party according to you.
3) We are asking several of these groups disclose their finances so that all Patriots can see who is behind the curtain-so far no response as to their corporate benefactors.
Tim McClellan: Since there is no one behind the imagined curtain and there are no financials. Not only has that he not asked for any financials, it would not matter anyway since it is irrelevant.
I am not hiding anything and this misdirection of yours is not fooling anybody. I have attached my name and all my contact information to all the posts and articles.
As for any Groups, I believe you may be suffering from delusions and perhaps getting paranoid. The facts in my article speaks for itself and you are simply trying desperately to make it out that poor you and your cohorts are being picked on.
You Mr. Guetzloe, Fredric O’Niel and Nick Egoroff, with intent decided to form a Florida Tea Party behind the backs of the very people you claim to represent.
4) The Florida Tea Party is not affiliated with any of these other groups and the TEA Party contributions and expedenditures are publicly posted.
Tim McClellan: This has no relevance at all to anyone.
For those of you that did not read the original piece exposing this injustice, here it is again so you can see how foolish and desperate Mr. Guetzloe‘s remarks are to make such outrageous and totally irrelevant remarks.
I wrote part one on Jan. 6 and part two on Jan. 7, 2010. You can read them below:
TEA PARTY CRASHERS – Your TEA Party Has Been Hijacked! Part 1We all know about the Grassroots people named TEA Party people or slanderously referred to as Tea party folks as tea baggers, astroturf people, etc. that put their hearts and souls into peacefully protesting against out of control Government spending and Healthcare reform.
They went to the local street corners and held homemade signs; they went to Washington, held signs to express their feelings.
They were there to express “their true feelings”, not the message of big business or Lobbyists or of any Political Party.
They did it just because they love their Country and do not want it destroyed by career Politicians.
I am one of them; myself and two other people put together the first peaceful TEA Party protest in Ft. Lauderdale.
The Police estimate that 5,000 plus people showed up. The Liberal press (non-Fox Network) came out and filmed it and said there were about 1,000 to 1,500 people.
There were no problems, no violence and it made me very proud to be an American. We are not going to give up and even though the Democrats are still ignoring us, they will hear us load and clear in 2010.
We still felt we had accomplished something and were confident that our Representatives would listen to us. As we all know TEA Parties have been repeated over and over in city after city and in Washington DC as well as during the Democrats summer break taking the time to explain to us why the Healthcare bill is so good for us.
I am proud to see so many American standing up for the love of their Country. These are good hard working people that are clearly smarter than the Representatives that are not representing us.
Now we have the worst slap in the face to all Americans that want our Government back and to be heard. It was not bad enough to be ignored by the Democrats all the way and in every peaceful effort, now we have a group of despicable individuals that have for all practical purposes hijacked the TEA Party movement (http://floridateaparty.us/) to make a Political Party out of our work.
The TEA Party is a Grassroots loosely organized group of people with a common and simple goal: to protect our Country from its own Representatives and its President.
It stands for essentially Republican values of smaller Government, fiscal responsibility, less taxation and the lessening of the reach of Government.
On December 7, 2009 Rasmussen reported and I quote: “Running under the Tea Party brand may be better in congressional races than being a Republican.
In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.”
If you add up the votes, being the Tea Party and the Republicans, it equal 41% which is 5 points higher than the Democrats. But you ask, there is no Tea Party, it is a grassroots group that is made up of people from all the Parties out there such as the Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, etc. and you cannot vote for a Tea party because there is not an actual Tea party “political party”, right?
Not anymore, you see recently some unscrupulous people decided to register the TEA Party as a legal Political party in Florida to be on the ballot in the next election.
This offends me greatly and I feel the need to stand up for every person that ever attended or participated in any way with a Tea Party protest.
This TEA Party “political party” is led by an Orlando Florida named lawyer Frederic O’Neal. The new party’s chairman and if you can believe the gall, is a Democrat!
He is also working closely with an ex-Republican named Nick Egoroff who is the Communications Director that has been banned from any leadership position in the Republican Party REC (Republican Executive Committee) by the Grievance Committee for 4 years because of his actions in supporting a Candidate from another party.
Needless to say with a Democrat and a disgruntled Republican running this TEA Party political party you have to think about why and what are they up to.
You would hope it would be honorable and that seeing that the people are discontent with the current Government Parties created the TEA Party to provide a Party for the People. Not so!
When you split the Conservative vote the Democrats win. It is not much of a stretch to imagine a Democrat and a disgruntled ex-Republican would like nothing better to than to damage the Republican Party. Egoroff has as much as said so in multiple post on blogs.
The motives behind this dishonorable group are blatantly opposite to what the Grassroots Tea Party Patriots believe in. They are taking advantage of the Grassroots Tea Party Patriots that are the heart and soul of this Country.
Unfortunately there are a large number of people that are not political savvy, but they sure know how they feel about what will happen to them, their Children, their Children’s Children and their Country.
This group of fake TEA Party “political party” people with the intent to keep the Democrats in power are simply a disgrace, especially to the true Grassroots Tea Party people that do not deserve this type of manipulation and misrepresentation. We already have that now.
In the future I suggest that the old Tea Party group should go by the name of “Grassroots Tea Party Patriots” as to not be confused with a group that does not have their interests at heart.
I hope you will pass this article on to all your friends, blog it and make it go viral as soon as possible to put an end to this atrocity as soon as possible.
Ideally as I have exposed these charlatans, they would be seen for who they are and withdraw as a party while they still have some dignity left. However small that might be.
TEA PARTY CRASHERS – Your TEA Party Has Been Hijacked! Part II
I have been informed of more disturbing information on the cast of characters that are involved in the Florida Tea Party. Frederic O’Neil was a registered Democrat when he registered the Tea Party Political party.
He is now trying to be passed off as a “Reagan Democrat”, although he supported both Barack Obama and Alan Grayson in ’08.
He owes nearly $150,000 in back taxes and the IRS has a lien on his property.
The word is Frederic O’Neil is nothing more than a front guy for Doug Guetzloe. Doug Guetzloe is known for the ‘Ax the Tax’ movement – an anti-tax and wasteful government spending crusade, of which, Frederic O’Neil is an officer.
Doug Guetzloe has reportedly a very sordid past, and has developed a reputation as being an ‘opportunist’ and a ‘profiteer’, driven by the disclosure a while back that he received $200K from the Orlando Magic for NOT opposing an Arena deal involving taxpayer funding. I have been informed there are other similar stories.
Doug Guetzloe is, along with Nick Egoroff, were suspended from the REC (Republican Executive Committee) a couple of months ago, Doug Guetzloe is for 1 yr and Nick Egoroff for 4 yrs, and both were represented by none other than Frederic O’Neil during their hearing with the RPOF (Republican Party of Florida).
This was for a hostile attempt to oust the current chairman of OCREC (Orange County Republican Executive Committee), as well as using the party name without authorization.
Nick Egoroff is just a Doug Guetzloe lackey. He is a rabid Ron Paul supporter and helped align a significant Libertarian presence in OCREC behind their effort to gain control of OCREC.
These two are big supporters of Paula Dockery, having started the ‘Draft Paula Dockery for Governor’ movement prior to her announcing her candidacy.
They worked alongside Dockery as strong opponents of the Sun Rail project. All of which gives me serious reason to question Paula Dockery’s judgment. Although, Paula Dockery now appears to be distancing herself from the three of them.
With all the ties there appears to be no doubt, they’re bad news. As for the Florida Tea Party (Political Party), there is much speculation that it is a covert operation to harm the Republican Party, which may be the case, but it is also a desperate attempt to regain relevance in the political arena by the three of them.
One last note of the deception, the official name of the party is “Florida Tea Party”, yet the website ending in .US would lead you to believe it is a national organization.
Take care,
Tim McClellan

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.–Thomas Jefferson
My experience with Doug Guetzloe is positive in that I am aware of the circumstances surrounding the political persecution he has received over a period of YEARS by local6.com and the illegal seizure of he personal files from Shurgard Storage who sold the contents of his storage location to Tony Pipitone through a 3rd party. Day after day of bashing and persecution to defame him in the eyes of as many people as possible in the hope to destroy his credibility 100% to totally discredit anything good he has ever done for this community.
We have to remember, we are human beings, and I will not be quick to judge him. My experience working with him has been positive. He is just a man, what do you expect. Althought I do NOT support the promotion of the 3rd Party, TEA Party, I don’t see why he cant be included in the Tea Party Movement activities as long as he separates himself from promoting TEA Party because he is an highly educated, experience in the constitution and freedom of the people and proven to be a nationally recognized influential figure.
He is being unrighteously maligned.
After reading where Gutzloe and Eggeroff postured they wre responsible for a Gubenatorial run from Paula Dockery, I asked and challenged Dockerys’ campaign to answer whether she were a Republican or a Tea Party of Florida candidate. Her camp made it clear that she was a Republican and that the Tea Party of Florida were welcome to support whomever they wanted- but they were not instrumental in her decision to run. I think it was Egeroff who issued a staement saying they never claimed responsibility. It wasn’t truth that would stand critisism, but why press the issue? The repudiated any claim to responsibility.
My opinion of these men doesn’t stand very high- they seem more prone to making trouble than they do to accomplishing anything. Theres’ seems to be a following of “half-empty” types.
