Question: “Crash the Tea Party” movement= Stooping to their level?
As you can see by my avatar and name, I have no love for that contrived, FoxNews/Goldline media driven mockery of a grassroots political movement.

HOWEVER…isn’t infiltration and sabotage completely the wrong way to do it? Now, whenever I see someone in a Paul Revere outfit on TV saying how he “Cries whenever he sees that Kenyan Terrorist speaking from the Presidential Podium” now do I have to have reasonable suspicion that it’s a mole?
Won’t it validate their “Us vs. Them” mentality and just feed into their already out of control paranoia?

TP’s already launched their share of counter-insurgency, public messages like “Ohhh! See? We must be right, because now they’re fighting dirty! They cannot counter our superior logic and infallable worldview! ” Which to me, is not a grain more valid than their claims of being a spontaneous, moderate, Non-Partisan, and Evenly Racially Diverse in their membership (riiiiiiiiiight) but it’s exactly the kind of NonThink mentality that insulates their core!

So what do you think? Could any good come out of this for the opposition?
OK for those of you who would like a source, the pleasure is all mine:

FOX News Republican presidential debate from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, January 10, 2008 – Ronald Reagan Edition

PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO. In February 2010, the group Tea Party Nation organized the first Tea Party Convention in Nashville, TN, a for-profit event. Some 600 people paid 0 to attend, and Sarah Palin was reportedly paid 5000 to the be the keynote speaker. After criticism of the convention’s cost, for-profit status, and payment to Palin, multiple national Tea Party organizations withdrew their participation. But the event went on. And so did the paranoid, conspiratorial assertions–that President Obama was born in another country, that he has covered up his college transcripts, that he is pushing a communist/socialist agenda, that he is protecting terrorists and endangering our country, etc. The organizers of the convention made great efforts to limit access to the press, and even held “new-media training” sessions to help the Tea Partiers sound and look better on camera–the more people see inside this movement, the less like it. But we got ourselves into the event, where the right-wing, fringe sentiments were on plain display. That said, these Tea Partiers–able to pay the cost of attendance–are more affluent than those at the 9.12 DC March, and more self-conscious of they are portrayed in the media. There were fewer signs and homemade t-shirts here, but the attitudes, if more subtle in delivery, were the same. Produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

Ronald Reagan – then a liberal Democrat – campaigns on the radio for President Truman in 1948. He also supports Hubert Humphrey for Senator from Minnesota and opposes the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 which had been passed by the Republican congress over Truman’s veto.

So, as we begin, let us take inventory. We are a nation that has a government–not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. It is my intention to curb the size and influence of the federal establishment and to demand recognition of the distinction between the powers granted to the federal government and those reserved to the states or to the people. All of us need to be reminded that the federal government did not create the states; the states created the federal government. Now, so there will be no misunderstanding, it’s not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work–work with us, not over us; to stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. If we look to the answer as to why for so many years we achieved so much, prospered as no other people on earth, it was because here in this land we unleashed the energy and individual genius of man to a greater extent than has ever been done before. Freedom and the dignity of the individual have been more available and assured here than in any other place on earth. The price for this freedom at times has been high, but we have never been unwilling to pay the price. It is no coincidence …

Some say racist Tea Party signs are all staged by liberals hoping to make the Tea Party look bad…could that be true? Or is the Tea Party actually racist?

www.youtube.com more on the original Judeoteabaggers who destroyed Civilization www.youtube.com . And finally, New Rule, now that they’ve finished reading the Constitution out loud, the teabaggers must call out that group of elitist liberals whose values are so antithetical to theirs. I’m talking, of course, about the Founding Fathers, who the teabaggers believe are just like them, but aren’t. One is a group of exclusively white men who live in a bygone century, have bad teeth, and think of blacks as 3/5s of a person. And the other are the Founding Fathers! Now I want you teabaggers out there to understand one thing. While you idolize the Founding Fathers and dress up like them and smell like them, I think it’s pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would’ve hated your guts. And what’s more, you would’ve hated them! They were everything you despise. They studied science, read Plato, hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was mostly bullshit. And yet, here is a popular painting in wingnut America. Yes, that’s Jesus with the Founding Fathers behind him, presenting the Constitution to America. Either that, or it’s a settlement offer for that boy after he sued the rectory. Super-religious guy Glenn Beck likes to play dress-up as Thomas Paine.
