Fearful of other people's right to free speech and their right to assemble, the radical anti-USA Left is making a concerted effort to destroy the grassroots Tea Party movement made up of everyday average Americans, both Democrats and Republicans, who are fed up with Big Government and Big Business destroying this country.
There are many reports that these nutjobs plan to infiltrate the April 15 Tea Party protests, create more illiterate, racist signs to photograph and send to the left-leaning Obama-loving media.
The left-wing media-created "Coffee Party" also has grand plans to destroy the Tea Party movement:
How to Destroy the Tea Party: Make Them Our Friends and Allies
Both The Tea Party and The Coffee Party are made up of disgruntled citizens who do not feel Washington is listening to them.
Many of the Tea Party people are furious at the Republicans and George W. Bush because of big business bailouts and feel their politicians are more loyal to big business lobbies than they are to them.
Similarly, many of the Coffee Party people are furious at the Democrats and President Obama because of the current health care bill which is one big sellout to the insurance companies and feel their politicians are more loyal to insurance lobbies than they are to them.
Both sides, whether they realize it or not, are coming to the same conclusion: our elected officials are more beholden to special interests (big business, Wall Street, and corporations) than they are to the People.
The solutions? Probably something both groups can support:
-- Campaign finance reform
-- A Constitutional Amendment barring corporations from having "person" status and therefore the ability to influence elections through campaign contributions and advertisements.
If both groups worked together on this, real change could happen. Change that repairs the system and makes our Government accountable to The People and not Wall Street / Big Business / Corporations.
We should be inviting The Tea Party crowd over to our side. Especially the ones who got involved at the very beginning and feel disillusioned with what The Tea Party has become. We don't have to pretend we agree with them on anything other than what I've listed.
This is nothing but an attempt to try and legitimize the phony Coffee Party, a left-wing group organized just recently to pretend that they "mirror" the Tea Party. The Coffee Party is trying to quietly subvert our natural, grassroots movement by their lies of "agreeing with the Tea Party, per se, but just a more balanced, less racist, less violent, less extremist way." By acting like they are really a "balanced offshoot" of the Tea Party, they can work behind the scenes to garner mainstream media support to destroy our movement by accusing us of the very radicalism, racism and violence that they are so endeared to.
I would be too. There's no boundary the loony liberals won't cross in order to ruin this grassroots movement that threatens them and the supremacy of their lord king leader Obama.

He has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets, and acting as offensively as possible
In other words he's going to be acting like a liberal.

The rest of the post is sheer nonsense.
Agree. Not sure how committed the average Tea Partyist is to those goals, though.... I havent seen a single scrawled protest on those Tea Party signs about the Citizens United decision.
The 5 Craziest Attacks on Tea Parties (http://www.businessandmedia.org/commentary/2010/20100331082817.aspx - broken link)
5) Protesters are Anti-Government
4) Tea Partiers Are Stupid
3) Protesters are Nazis
2) Homophobic Slurs
1) Calling them "racist"
Playing the race card has become the left's favorite move. It trumps everything else and is virtually impossible to defend against. Naturally, with an African-American president, crying "racism" has become a routine occurrence. MSNBC's Chris Matthews is just one of the milder examples of someone who injects race into everything except commercials.

The Tea Party needs no help in destroying themselves. They in their ignorance are their own worst enemy. Imposters wouldn't come up with the stuff or lack of it in this video:
