Lefty Group Tries to 'Infiltrate' Tea Parties with Offensive Signs - Will MSM Take the Bait?

This week, Americans of all political stripes will take to the streets -- so to speak -- to protest what they see as excessive and out of control government spending and intrusion into their daily lives. Among the many Tea Party protesters, however, will be individuals plotting to undermine the peaceful grassroots movement.

Blogger Glenn Reynolds spotted CrashTheTeaParty.org today, a website that claims to represent "a nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes and morons; who constitute the fake grassroots movement, which calls itself 'the Tea Party.'"

Their plan is to "infiltrate" Tea Party protests to create the false impression that protesters are racists by … being racists. That's right, they will bring with them offensive signs and give wildly offensive interviews to reporters, all with the intention of smearing a movement that wouldn't bring those signs or give those interviews themselves. It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media will take the bait.

Mark Tapscott dubs the leftist counter-movement "Saul Alinsky on steroids" for its "by any means necessary" approach to delegitimizing its political opponents. He notes that while the group claims to employ only non-violent means, that is an old leftist canard that is often discarded once non-violent means are exhausted and whatever leftist objective is on the agenda remains unaccomplished.

The Tea Party movement has been notably non-violent by the standards of any protest movement, but especially when compared with leftist anti-war and anti-capitalist groups (a lot of overlap there). It is not beyond the pale to expect that some crazies might try to shatter the near-perfect record of non-violent protest proudly worn on the Tea Party's collective sleeve by inciting or committing an act of violence.

"[S]ome on the Left in American politics," Tapscott wrote today at the Washington Examiner's Beltway Confidential blog, "are running a KGB-like 'false flag' operation to discredit the Tea Party. The Left couldn't sell the idea that Tea Partiers are just a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons, so the Left is infiltrating the Tea Party in order to pose as a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons."

I think it is possible that the MSM will ightly attribute any obscenities or racist comments to the left now. Announcing it so publicly was possibly helpful to the TEA party movemment.

This infiltration to make decent groups or people look bad is actually an Alinsky idea.

Alinsky suggested that to hurt the image of Nixon's defense secretary speaking at their college, the college student disrupters should dress up as ku klux klanners and cheer enthusiastically for Nixon's defense secretary.

This Alinsky fellow dedicated his book to Satan and he clearly follows an ends (hell on earth) justifies the means philosophy.

Keep cameras at the ready....this ploy has been used before and always back fires. The Tea Party is the party of the American People....a non-violent gathering of all races, all ages and all political stances. It can also be described as The Party of NO! NO to the current crop of politicians who are truly mendacious about their sworn oaths of office.

Throw the bums out along with the OBAMA MAFIA!

Internet has changed things. Not all for the better mind you, but the propaganda machine is under a lot of stress right now, the old ways are impotent in a lot of ways, hence the rush.

The Tea Party folks should pass out fliers with the infiltration info.

They should also carry signs that say, “This Tea Party protest infiltrated by leftists. You can spot them by their offensive signs and bad behavior.”

They should also carry signs that have adjustable arrows and say, “This person does not represent the Tea Party.”

Whois has the administrative and tech contacts as Ben Franklin, 3 Chestnut Lane, Philadelphia PA. Hard to tell if this is a double agent or a triple agent.

This isn't going to work. Tea Partiers know who to look for. When you hear somebody yelling about overthrowing the government, secession, or making threats against minorities, then you know that person is a fraud. Also the idiot that's too enthusiastic, wrapped head to toe in patriotic gear.

There are a lot of veterans and older Americans steeped in common-sense and they can spot the BS a mile away.
