It's like a walking, talking POE law.

If you have to make up signs to filter out the 'infiltrators' then you're not doing something right....

These signs are no way pro Tea Party so who would think they are the Tea Party people?

For the infiltrator sign the liberal networks will film that guy out anyway.

it is only necessary because liberal audiences and media whom the 'infiltrator' signs are intended to address are a] desperate to believe the fake signs are real, and b] not too bright.

No, it's pretty simple:

REAL:

Teabonics: The most ridiculous - and misspelled - tea party protest signs


FAKE:

Compare the two sets. You will find the fake Teabagger signs are doing a wonderful job of mocking 'bagger misspellings and overall buffoonery.

However, lets keep in mind that when the protests were going on against the war, did the opposition to the opposition stand out with signs and make a mockery of them?

Um.... yes:





Many many more where that came from.

Sorry if I don't see this as anything less than bullying. For a bunch of people who claim tolerance and understanding, it appears that actions in this case do not speak louder than words.
That's political discourse. It happens on all sides of the issues.

Sorry, but free speech works both ways. Don't want to be made fun of? Don't be stupid. Easy as pie.

wrong. look at what i was responding to - i.e., the need to point out infiltrators due to the fact that the leftist buffoons and media are so desperate to believe they're real.

as i pointed out in 2 examples [so far] in this very thread

Poe's Law - RationalWiki

It becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate a REAL protester from the FAKE protester because the REAL protester is so ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with the 'leftist baffoons' being desperate to believe they're real...it doesn't matter because it's ALL ridiculous. Get it?
