Stung by allegations of incendiary, racist and homophobic rhetoric at tea party rallies last year, conservative activists with flipcams and camera phones have circulated at the union protests sprouting up across the country in hopes of catching violent or abusive behavior by their liberal adversaries.

The resulting photos and videos have ricocheted around the conservative blogosphere in recent days, prompting mounting outrage on the right.

Plase read this really snide, snarky article from the Politico. In spite of its rank bias it shows how vitally important it is for us to bring video cameras to every rally where there's likely to be opposition, carefully and clearly to photograph the enemy befire they begin to act, film their vile antics and assaults, and then use the videos and still pictures both to prosecute them and show the vile slugs they really are. Camcorders are really some of our best weapons in this battle to save America.

The major difference being that the video rants from the left only make it to right-wing sites that preach to the choir while the anti Tea Party videos make it to the CBS evening news.

The visitors bureau in Rockford has released a video, “Hide away in Rockford” is the theme.

Turnabout is fair play. Oh, Silly me, We’re talking about the unions, fair play doesn’t apply.

Tea partiers need to videotape these protesters and their offensive signs with their cell phones.

Then use those images in ads against dems in every state, in every city etc.

Highlight the offensiveness and then use that same offensiveness against them by exposing that offensiveness on the Internet and on national television from coast to coast.

When the reform bill passes in Wisconsin I hope Scott Brown and several republican Senators walk through the crowd with a giant Gavel to get their reaction on tape.

Don’t miss the college socialists involved in events in Madison in this video:

In particular, check out the worthless little punk who proclaims “I am a revolutionary socialist!” Yeah, whatever. Bring it, dweeb.

It is working and they aren't happy about it. They can't control their thugs. And while the left prides itself on being organized they view that as being able to turn out a bunch of malcontents. Not in their ability to control and direct those malcontents. It is the difference between a mob and an army. And their mob is very vulnerable to the Saul Alinsky tactics they have always used, but never expected to be used on them.

"...conservative activists with flipcams and camera phones have circulated at the union protests sprouting up across the country in hopes of catching in preparation to catch the violent or and abusive behavior by their liberal adversaries..."

There...that puts it in a more accurate context

Who is the child molester holding the poster with a picture of the "Pedobear"?

Stung by FALSE allegations of incendiary, racist and homophobic rhetoric at tea party rallies last year..

there..fixed it..

I’ve long said,

in order to defeat the left,
we must expose the left.

Neither their true ideology nor their tactics will be condoned by decent people anywhere.

They have simply been rather good at hiding their real selves and the media has been complicit in this matter.

“It is working and they aren’t happy about it.”

That’s the whole message of this article and why it was so worth posting.

It brings to mind that old saying, "If you are taking flak it means you are over the target."

“Stung by allegations of incendiary, racist and homophobic rhetoric at tea party rallies last year, conservative activists with flipcams and camera phones have circulated at the union protests sprouting up across the country in hopes of catching violent or abusive behavior by their liberal adversaries.”

An accurate version of this paragraph would read:

Unlike false allegations of incendiary, racist and homophobic rhetoric at tea party rallies last year, conservatives with flipcams and camera phones at the union protests sprouting up across the country have actually documented violent and abusive behavior by leftist thugs.

[longtermmemmory]

however youtube lists conservative videos as “controversial” or bans them.

meanwhile youtube has a homo-marriage logo on this front page.
