A burgeoning netroots movement has emerged from what its founder characterized as “ranting on my Facebook page.”
Several weeks ago, filmmaker Annabel Park posted a note on her Facebook profile expressing “frustration … listening to news coverage that made it seem like the Tea Party was representative of America.”
