Democrat Donors Shut Down Atlanta Tea Party
Update: The Simons don't care for other groups either, though earlier this year their response was to shut down the mall. (h/t Andrew H.)
As noted on the Pajamas Media site:
They say you vote with your dollars. A purchase at Simon Malls is a vote for:
1. Massive contributions to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Al Franken, MediaMatters, the DNC and a whole host of Democrats and Democrat organizations.
2. Tea Party suppression.
3. Leftist intolerance.
Thanks for spreading the word on this important issue.

But this is not an issue of freedom as we construe it. Of course the Simon Group is entitled to do as they will with their land. Of course we are free to stay away from them commercially and lambaste them rhetorically. I am in the Atlanta area and the result for me is that I will make an extra effort to attend some other TEA event. If there is one at the capitol that is where I shall be. Let the Simons of the world declare themselves. And they just did.

The protest was being held on private property, and the landowner--if the claims are true--was for the Tea Party and even willing to spring for the fireworks. Simon abused an easement to force out the protest.
