Believers in Smearacles: The Tea Party Crashers
As the deadline looms to file your taxes before the tax man cometh, so, too, does the reality that hardcore fare leftists will attempt to infiltrate the Tea Party’s nationwide Tax Day protests – in order to try and paint all of them as racist, homophobic thugs (surprise). The Associated Press reports:
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.
Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.“Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn’t an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, ‘That’s right, he’s an alien from outer space!’” Levin said.
Tea party members said the backlash comes from ignorance.
“They can’t actually debate our message and that’s their problem,” said Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a tea party group that also has members in New York and New Jersey.
The tea party movement generally unites on the fiscally conservative principles of small government, lower taxes and less spending. Beyond that the ideology of the people involved tends to vary dramatically.
Levin says they want to exaggerate the group’s least appealing qualities, further distance the tea party from mainstream America and damage the public’s opinion of them.
“Do I think every member of the tea party is a homophobe, racist or a moron? No, absolutely not,” Levin said. “Do I think most of them are homophobes, racists or morons? Absolutely.”
The site manifesto says they want to dismantle the Tea Party by nonviolent means. “We have already sat quietly in their meetings, and observed their rallies,” the site said.
My, oh, my. Wouldn’t one of Obama’s biggest influences, Saul Alkinsky, be so proud of these idiots?
Michelle Malkin’s written a more complete picture of the organized Tea Party Crasher movement, and various other Smearacle movements designed to smear any opposition to Obama as birther fanatics, mobsters, “un-American,” Astroturfers, fascists, terrorists, brownshirts, racists, assassins, and Neanderthals.
As I have said so many times before, specifically on the issue of of fake “hate crimes,” if opponents of liberal policies really were as evil and awful as the left makes them out to be, then they wouldn’t have to resort to making up things about them. That they do speaks volumes about these types of tactics, and not in a good way.
And while we’re on the topic, there’s a distinct difference in “infiltrating” a political gathering/movement and observing versus infiltrating it and pretending to be a part of it all the while plotting to make up and stage things about the movement that are untrue. That the far left has resorted to these types of tactics – “in your face” style tactics that candidate Obama himself argued in favor of both during the campaign and as President – is a strong indicator of the desperation of the far left as they try to push and shove and “deem” as acceptable socialist/fascist policies on the American pepole.
Except neither Obama nor his dutiful minions at left wing blogs and indy media sites (and their helpers in the mainstream media, for that matter)seem to have taken into account the inconvenient fact that the Tea Party movement is not just made up of conservatives but of a cross-section of people from all walks of life who are fed up with government intrusion into their lives via their income, taxes, their healthcare, their jobs, what they eat, etc. The more these Alinsky types try and pigeonhole and demonize this movement, the more likely that the electoral bloodbath predictions for this fall will become a reality. And you know what? I hope like hell that it does, because reality for these folks is a b*tch, and I can’t think of a more deserving bunch.

I do have mixed feelings about these people doing this, but when I start to break thru my feelings, and think logically about this situation, I realize this is a wonderful opportunity. Let’s face it, it’s not like the average grunt in the rank and file of the left is much brighter than a 20 watt bulb. It is my hope tho that these dim wits will realize the truth of what is being said at these rallies, and convert to the right. What fun it would be to hear stories of all these mischief makers converting and realizing that they have been wrong all along. LOL
I know, I know call it a pipe dream, but once they get under the cloud of the spirit of truth, it is possible that the spirit of deception that has a hold on them will flee.

The spirit of truth occurs when we grow up. Those still in a ‘save the world haze’ will remain locked there unless they have an epiphany of truth shake them awake. These political correct ‘when it’s pertains to what you say and not me’ fudgeheads are so enveloped in their belief that conservatives are evil. It’s not that we don’t wish or want for everyone to have…it’s just not REALISTIC…not to mention that why should I have to work harder for someone who doesn’t work at all.
One of my younger colleagues (25 yrs old) told me that I was opinionated and judgmental. I laughed and said, when you get out of your haze of love the world indoctrination you’ll be opinionated and judgmental too. I call it grown up.
Care for a spot o’ tea? Let the games begin!
Before his time, but I am pretty sure if Saul were around today he would have added a little rule for his radicals like : “Do not organize secret and clandestine radical actions on the public forums like the internet”. What idiots!
Now the left can add “counterfeit patriots” to their resume of sockpuppets and Astro-turfers!
Dirty tricks are a part of any campaign – Remember Donald Segretti and Nixon’s strategy. As righteous conservatives we should be worldly enough to expect the realities of election and public opinion warfare.
Why am I not surprised? The Liberals know they can’t defend their positions in the court of public opinion so they have to lower themselves to commit fraud in hopes of stopping their loss of power in November. What an indictment against their belief system! Pathetic! Look for them to exclusively use the race card. It’s their nuclear weapon.
Everyone who goes to a rally needs to have an extra sign that says “INFILTRATOR” with an arrow pointing to one side. as soon as one of these goons tries this stunt, just stand next to him with the sign. stand close, and don’t leave his side until he leaves.
That’s what I am going to do anyway!
Levin is an ignorant extremist incapable of debating the issues. He is a Bolshevik in the mold of Ethel and Julius Rosenbrg.
Jason you loser
These crashers are making enemies on all sides of the political spectrum:
Note to Tax Day Party Crashers: Stop, You’re Ruining Our Fun!
See, this is a prime example of that peculiar brand of leftist stupidity. A clandestine operation only works as long as it’s… wait for it… clandestine!
Geddit? Huh?
So what these morons have done is identify every lout or jerk or loudmouth at a tea party protest as one of their own. Even if he isn’t. In fact, I think this provides a fine ex post facto. Remember those phantom racists that everybody in the media was sure were there, even if they didn’t manage to catch any of them on film? Okay, fine, I stipulate that they were there, and that they were your own agents provacateurs.
Way to shoot yourselves in the feet, morons. Such delightful nuance! These people are not quite smart enough to empty piss from a boot with the instructions printed on the heel. But they are smart enough to run our own lives for us.
Democrats rather defend this disastrous plan , knowing its detrimental to them and their family / country but not admit “Theyve been had ” by OBAMA,,,,,,,its ok,,,, we will take you back man,,,let it out,,, cry ,,,, we understand that YOU ARE MORONS AND DREAMERS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,CHANGE MY ASS WHERE IS BUSH?? I MISS HIM,,,,,hell my democrat freind misses him he confessed and gave in,,,you do too please
“Obama’s Agitator”
Infiltrator
This could be included in the sign with the arrow; reverse arrow on the reverse side of the sign, of course. (Ragnar’s post)
Steve! Have I mentioned to you already how good it is to see you posting again. Welcome back
I am so happy these people are sitting in on the meetings…which in most areas are very insightful and educational experiences in which they study Sal Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, study the Constitution, survey Ayn Rand books, etc. Gee, they might even get an education!! As was stated above, a conversion of new conservatives is a definite possibility.
It’s our duty as responsible American citizens to reach out to these folks….how many of us once held very liberal views (when we were kids). They think they are being clever, and if they listen very carefully they may actually realize that they have been put into the enemy camp only to throw down their weapons of ignorance and pick up the spirit of liberty and freedom.
At the 9/12 Tea Party there were very few “counter protesters”. They might send a few more this time, but the crowd then was respectful, friendly and clean. I expect about the same on Thursday.
Hope to see all of you there!!!
I think the website extolls buying a t-shirt to help the cause. I wonder what these t-shirts look like.
This operation gives Tea Partiers plausible deniability about anything! If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it was a great idea by some conservative. Alas, the left is stupider than even I suspected.
And now there’s more. This, from KATU in Portland, Oregon: Organizer of “Crash the Tea Party” is local, threatened.
Awww…now that the idiot’s plans have been exposed to sunlight, this cockroach is whining that people are being mean to him.
But here’s what I got from the story: he’s a school teacher, and apparently made his web site during school hours, using school equipment.
If the Alinskyite ethics of his site aren’t grounds enough for immediate dismissal, misappropriation of public funds and school time certainly should be. If the school board has an ounce of sense, that is.
This is exactly why there is no video of the so called racism. Remember during the campaign, when there were all of these “angry” conservatives shouting?? That was all made up, and so is this racism garbage. – Lorica
Hey Sis, glad to be back. I was in the Fifth Fleet AOR, way out at the nether regions of nowhere. Good to be in the good ol’ Yes Ess of Ay again.
And good to be posting with all my pretend internet friends at ST’s!
I am truly confused as to how anyone could believe they have anything to gain from the “change” Obama has in mind. I believe the saying, “If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.” Why do so many people feel that they are going to gain so much, be it healthcare or monthly check (yes I actually heard a man say he was going to get “his money” since Obama is president)? I don’t want to think of these people as being so simple minded that they are posing a danger to themselves. Yet I feel that in believing that this socialist propaganda is not going to have a negative effect on them because they voted the right way, seems really insane or really stupid.
GWR – this guy is almost typical of the type of teacher we have here in Oregon, on the west side of the Cascades, anyway.
And he’s being investigated about whether he was using school computers on school time, too.
Best thing that’ll happen is, if he’s found to have done that, they’ll cut back on his unicorn-feeding time. Only in America, and only in Oregon.
