AP Headline: 'Crash the Tea Party' organizer is threatened (media found their talking point)

AP ^ | April 14, 2010 11:25 AM ET | no byline

[a fool in paradise]

...Beaverton Middle School teacher Jason Levin's group wants to infiltrate the Tea Party to discredit the organization. But since Levin's name has been associated with the "Crash the Tea Party" Web site, he has been harassed by people who say they belong to that group.

Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats...

[a fool in paradise]

The media didn't even want to acknowledge the EXISTENCE of this organization and now they are already picking up his slurs that the Tea Party movement is "violent" (CTTP has included calls for members to deliberately make false "violent rhetoric" statements).

AP - American Pravda

[Marty62]

He had his “infiltrators” call HIM with threats.

Maybe some of his STUDENTS.

[CSM]

When your entire goal is to disparage other people, expect the opposition to go to extremes in their own defense.

[a fool in paradise]

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

[Canedawg]

ALL ALINSKY, ALL THE TIME.

-S. PALIN, 4/14/10

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Threatener threatened.

Beaverton Middle School teacher Jason Levin's

Another @$$h0le teaching our kids.

[illiac]

Probably his own people....

[a fool in paradise]

The actual news item is VERY brief. No link to the group’s website. No disclosure about how some of the CTTP members PLAN to dress up as neoNazis and storm the Tea Parties.

[silverleaf]

Dear Jason,
Welcome to Sarah Palin’s world. How does it feel to be hated and even pursued because of what you say and think in America? Man Up- see you at the party

[Jack Hydrazine]

So what do we do if they decide to show up in their Nazi uniforms and signs?

[FrankR]

That's what this whole "crasher" movement is about anyway...to invoke reaction.

Short of defending ourselves against violence to our person or the group, we should react to them in any way. Their main weapon is the "parsing" of our words, and fabricating lies for their own benefit.

The bottom line is, we are NOT getting back on the buses and heading home. We will continue as planned to the TAX day protest in D.C. and it's going to take a LOT of "mad hatters" to stop us, or crash us.

Their words didn't stop us, so in true Alinsky fashion they are going to escalate the resistance...so be ready for it.

[JoSixChip]

The msm does this stuff just to rile us up and manipulate us by controlling the conversation. The sad part is that we fall right in line.

[DManA]

Noise to distract people from the real crisis.

[Pollster1]

1. There is no such organization as “Crash the Tea Party”.

2. The leader of “Crash the Tea Party” is being threatened.

3. The racists filmed in Nazi uniforms at “Teabagger” events prove that this is a hate movement.

4. The Teabaggers are violating the privacy of Crash the Tea Party activists by videotaping them in Nazi regalia at political events, without permission, following them back to their Obama-bumper-sticker cars, and then by identifying them and publicizing their actions.

It makes a great narrative. It’s totally nonsensical, but MSM viewers don’t care.

[Marty62]

Get a mug shot.

[a fool in paradise]

The media has been covering up the existence of this HATE FILLED group.

Now that AP is acknowledging their existence, it is PURELY to show how THEY are being unfairly victimized. They openly called for HATE SPEECH to be spoken at the tea parties so as to slur the Tea Party movement as “racist”.

The media KNOWS THE SCORE.

We are living in an Orwellian nightmare. Only a Socialist would cover up such tactics and pretend that this man is credible, let alone HONORABLE.

Fred Phelps (Democrat) probably also gets threats. Why doesn’t his group ever make national headlines for being threatened? Because he’s a bigoted liberal stooge.

[Spok]

Levin freely admits that he would defraud the public by ‘infiltrating’ the Tea Party-what credibility does he have now?

[Cowman]

So what do we do if they decide to show up in their Nazi uniforms and signs?

start showing up wearing 1945 US Army Airborne uniforms

[CDFingers]

When your entire goal is to disparage other people, expect the opposition to go to extremes in their own defense.

Also... When your entire goal is to disparage other people, expect more lies which is probably what we're getting in this story.

Give me a break. If there was pervasive Racism or any other hate wing in the tea party, trust me the 0bama administration would have instructed the automatons in the MSM go and to report on them a long time ago. Instead this loon has to manufacture false evidence.

[tgusa]

“Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats”

I phart in his general direction.

[a fool in paradise]

Yesterday since the media was still silent about this announced tactic, I suggested having an information pack on Crash The Tea Party's website (their URL, their own statements of using deliberately misspelled signs, using racist rhetoric, urging tea partiers to speak of using violence...).

This would be for the sake of the “objective” media (which often but not always) goes to ridicule the rallies (Village Voice media is openly hostile to these patriot groups).

They may be able to express “shock” and “disbelief” that any group (like TCCP) would ever DELIBERATELY pose as tea partiers, but they would not be able to deny having ANY knowledge (with that handout of exposure in their hands).

Such foreknowledge makes the media complicit in the lies they spread.

[a fool in paradise]

[screaminsunshine]

This is so stupid. What the hell is this a ..who can get the most threats contest?

[a fool in paradise]

start showing up wearing 1945 US Army Airborne uniforms

Like in Inglorious Basterds?

[a fool in paradise]

start showing up wearing 1945 US Army Airborne uniforms

This is more stylish and subtle.

[M-cubed]

Head them for the door.. explain were here to peaceably assemble.....We can police our own

[NMEwithin]

Gasp...he got phonecalls!! Oh My!!!

Waaaahhhh!!

[Cowman]

LOL “I hate Illinois Nazis”

Any moron knows that if you do not wish to be struck by lightening, one does not wear a lightening rod on ones head and walk around in a thunderstorm.

[Earthdweller]

Oh wow...that is a good idea. Really. Men in black...with ink pens that have cameras. (ok...just camera phones..but what the hey).

[a fool in paradise]

"One ringy dingy!"

This is from his school's web site

What a jerk! NEA at work.

[a fool in paradise]

In Texas, several of the rallies are being held on private property. It won’t be difficult to evict those who are there to disrupt and shame the event.

[Earthdweller]

Oops...the original men in black? (hangs head). Oh well...Blues brothers...men in black. Still a good idea.

Everybody take lots of pictures! And Record! Record! Record!

[B-Cause]

Here is his web site.

[Marty62]

Obviously he lied.
since when is spending your time trying to slander other people who do not believe as you do being a productive member of society.

I think he may getting a little to close to the mentality of his Junior high students.

[a fool in paradise]

[precisionshootist]

Do we really expect to ever be able to get along with people like this? We have a growing number of people that want to use government to control the rest and either we are going to stop them or it’s going to keep escalating.

Common ground? give me a break. Are we supposed to compromise and let these radicals run just a percentage of our lives?

[Sarah Barracuda]

So this idiot creates a web site threatening the tea party movement, vowing to infiltrate it and destroy it, yet he is upset about being threatened..talk about..IRONY

[a fool in paradise]

So this idiot creates a web site threatening the tea party movement, vowing to infiltrate it and destroy it, yet he is upset about being threatened...the MEDIA says HE'S the victim

[B-Cause]

The real tragedy here is that he is representative of the NEA dominated teachers today, and what trash they put in the minds of our youths. This guy is a 100% jerk. click here for a link to the management staff of the middle school where he teaches.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

This clown is setting up a riot. People going to “Tea Parties” should be prepared to fight. The media will have a feeding frenzy. Closer ever closer comes the Social War!

[Red Badger]

...and his answering machine is recording threats...

Made by his friends pretending to be Tea Party members, no doubt.................

[B-Cause]

Click here for an article from the local Portland media.

[martin_fierro]

Ecce Homo.

[a fool in paradise]

Caption for that photo from that article: “Jason Levin holds up a shirt he was going to wear to blend in with Tea Party members during the movement’s protest on Tax Day, but after his face was posted on the Internet he had to shelve his planned appearance.”

So he was going to go and he was going to wear that shirt. And then he chickened out because his photo got on the internet to ID who was calling for racism and violence at tea parties.

Now he poses for a photo on the news agency’s website and it is on the internet.

Even Pravda would have a hard time selling that lie.

[a fool in paradise]

PS, Rush Limbaugh just told his listeners about this story.

[Lazamataz]

OMFG.

The AP would literally write this headline:

CHILD MOLESTER UNFAIRLY TARGETED
