[Para-Ord.45]

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."

Will MSM Take the Bait?

Take it?

They are counting on it!

(The Great Liar)

[Pollster1]

The MSM will print signs for the socialist infiltrators.

[struggle]

Bring some red paint...throw it on them if they show.

[Mr_Moonlight]

Will MSM Take the Bait?

The short answer is: Yes

[texmexis best]

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.

[GeronL]

The media will be keeping an eye out for their buddies.

Those crashers will be the only stories published.

[Stepan12]

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!

[Right Wing Assault]

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.”

[SWAMPSNIPER]

We’re ready for them. If they want to look even more like fools we are happy to help them!

[drubyfive]

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.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

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.

[VeniVidiVici]

Of course they’ll take the bait. The idiot journalists continue to talk about the “racial slurs” suffered by Cleaver and the rest of the communists on their walk to the Capitol that day.

Even though they STILL have no evidence.

[Bahbah]

Here is one idea to consider, because they will try to discredit us.

“Plants have already happened, just not organized ones. Regardless, perhaps organizers (or attendees) need to have a few signs that say “Liberal Plant, not a REAL TeaPartier” and be on the lookout for these double-secret spies. When one is found, then pull out your signs and stand next to the plant. No violence or physical actions, just isolate and embarrass.”

Just keep an eye out for Jason Levin:



the dork who set that website up, and who provided false, fraudulent information on the domain name registration, and who will probably try to infiltrate Tea Party events on the West coast, given that, as per the initial whois info for that website, he lives at 8575 SW Birch Street, Portland, OR (hey, it's public information, that he voluntarily provided, and therefore it's perfectly legitimate to disseminate it).

[Cheetahcat]

Racists ????????? We never had the Black vote so what?????

[FrankR]

"Their plan is to "infiltrate" Tea Party protests to create the false impression that protesters are racists by … being racists."

That's not a plan, that's a high school prank.

[Calvinist_Dark_Lord]

It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media will take the bait.

The writer of the article poses the wrong question.

The right question is whether or not the MSM will cover the beating and general abuse the fake members take when they're confronted by enraged members of the real tea partiers after their patience has been pushed beyond all resonable limits.

Of course there's YouTube and other outlets. Today anybody with a cell phone camera is a journalist.

[Zionist Conspirator]

It remains to be seen whether the mainstream media will take the bait.

Oh no it doesn't.
