"It now appears that this insidious plot is the creation of one Jason Levin, a public school teacher in Oregon who instructs middle schoolers about computer technology. His so-called "nationwide network" may be far smaller and less inclusive than advertised. Levin declared he'd infiltrate Tea Party rallies dressed as Adolph Hitler and carry signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay slogans.
He also encouraged his followers to circulate bogus petitions at those rallies in order to obtain Social Security numbers and other personal information about Tea Partyers. Levin has since been suspended by his school district while under investigation for inappropriate behavior as a teacher, misuse of school computers and attempted identity theft.
Maybe lefties will now proclaim that fraud and deceit, in advancing their cause, are the highest forms of patriotism."
"The right to assemble privately and exclusively is as important in American history as...well, the freedom of the press. Causes that were once unpopular have become mainstream precisely because of the freedom to assemble, which means the freedom to assemble privately if the organizers so wish.
Movements can be stifled or stopped by publicly disclosing certain conversations, thoughts, or plans made in private. Indeed, the government has often sought to interrupt the privacy of peaceable association before causes become too big."
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:
It's what right wingers do. Convince their lemmings others are out to "destroy them"......LOL
That's the usual. They scream, protest and lie, then when somebody pushes back they curl up into victim mode. The posters here do the same thing, reporting everything and anything as a means to silence opposition. Tisk tisk...
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.
Don't be an idiot. Just because people don't like the Tea Party doesn't mean they are "destroying" anyone's right to free speech.
And if you want to play that game, then tell me: are all the right-wingers not out to "destroy" all of the liberals?
What is the effect on free speech when Tea Party members "infiltrate" town hall meetings on health care across the country in an effort to heckle and disrupt any mere dialogue on the issue?
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.

Yes, and this Jason Levin had a grand total of 65 followers. Most churches have more members than that! I don't think he was a big threat, or a big influence on the Tea Parties.
The "tea baggers" are afraid of being called racists. Well one look at your rallies and nary a black or hispanic in sight. Why is that? Why do the crowds look just like the ones that attended the Palin rallies? How come nobody heard of the "Tea Party" until Obama was elected? Bush left Obama a $1.3 trillion dollar deficit but were conservatives up in arms? NO they weren't because they were enjoying their Bush tax cuts. Now they have to pay the piper and they're screaming their heads off like infantiles.
The left doesn't have to do anything to destroy them since they're doing a good job of it themselves.
