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:

Answer by Simple Jack
It will encourage them to run more reactionary racists, which will be good for the Democratic Party.
Yesterday, the Washington Post reported that the Tea Party movement is “struggling to overcome accusations of racism,” some of which has been perpetuated in its editorial pages. Yesterday’s New York Times, home to the most obsessively anti-Tea Party editorial page in America, was stunned to discover that “at least 32 African-Americans are running for Congress this year as Republicans, the biggest surge since Reconstruction, according to party officials.” Previously, The Times reported that Tea Partiers are, on average, people with a high levels of education and higher than average incomes. So it would seem that they aren’t, as some editorialists and pundits contend, simply a gang of subliterate militia men or, as actress Janeane Garofalo recently told MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann, a subsection of the white power movement. Wandering the recent Tax Day tea party in Washington DC with Reason.tv’s Meredith Bragg, we saw some stupid signs–though none that could be considered offensive or racist. We talked to some people that claimed President Obama was both a Czarist and Bolshevik. We spoke to a former star of Saturday Night Live who has previously claimed that president might, in fact, be the anti-Christ. Or a communist. Or both. There were those who fretted that the United States were morphing into a Stalinist state. And there were countless protesters concerned that the Obama administration was spending recklessly, interested in auditing the Federal Reserve, and seething about …

Why is she insulting “bowel movements”???
Bowel movements serve a purpose. These people collect welfare checks, do not work, show up to threaten fellow Americans and serve fascism.
John Dickerson spoke with a round table of guests about the Tea Party movement and where the movement is headed.
News footage from 2007 mixed with other video that documents the origin of the modern day Tea Party movement and those responsible for it. It was started in 2007 from the grassroots by Ron Paul supporters for his 2008 Presidential Campaign. After gaining momentum it was co-opted by certain Republicans with help from Fox News and other corporate entities. It’s no longer the spontaneous decentralized movement that it once was though Ron Paul’s message of limited government and a return to the Constitution is still at it’s core.
Question: Why didn’t Fox news air Tea Party rebuttal speech by Bachmann, after helping found this “grassroots” movement?
To date Fox has aired most of the Tea Party “leaders” speeches and interviewed countless spokespeople and openly sponsored the whole “grassroots” movement. Michelle Bachmann is a regular on Fox News.
So why would Fox not air the rebuttal Speech by a “major” political force such as Bachmann the Tea Party folks spokesperson?
Since many of Tea Party followers claim not to be Republicans but some label themselves as Libertarians, Constitutionalists and “Patriots” shouldn’t the network that helped found the movement have aired this speech by Bachmann?
What possible reason would they not. Did they think it was perhaps too “far out” there to air? Did it not meet Fox “News” standards? I haven’t heard a reason yet have you?
MSNBC and other news orgs said that they “didn’t want two Republican rebuttals”. Did you think this decision was odd considering many Tea Party folk say they are not just Republicans. Why did CNN air it, yet Fox and others did not? Did CNN use this speech to embarrass Bachmann?
It was not aired live why?
The ONLY place it was aired live was on CNN, why didn’t Fox News report it live whwn CNN did?
