ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic. Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.
Tea party members said the backlash comes from ignorance.
"They can't actually debate our message and that's their problem," said Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a tea party group that also has members in New York and New Jersey.
The tea party movement generally unites on the fiscally conservative principles of small government, lower taxes and less spending. Beyond that the ideology of the people involved tends to vary dramatically.
Levin says they want to exaggerate the group's least appealing qualities, further distance the tea party from mainstream America and damage the public's opinion of them.
"Do I think every member of the tea party is a homophobe, racist or a moron? No, absolutely not," Levin said. "Do I think most of them are homophobes, racists or morons? Absolutely."
The site manifesto says they want to dismantle the Tea Party by nonviolent means. "We have already sat quietly in their meetings, and observed their rallies," the site said.
Another tea party organizer said the attempt to destroy the movement was evidence its message is resonating.
"We've been ignored, we've been ridiculed. Well, now they're coming after us," said Judy Pepenella, a co-coordinator for the New York State Tea Party. "Gandhi's quote is one we understand: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then youwin .'"
"Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn't an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, 'That's right, he's an alien from outer space!'" Levin said.

These people (the infiltrators) are simply proving that they really are ignorant... and that's the nicest thing I can think of to say about them.

I would not worry to much about these "people".
ReplyDeleteAmericans are not that stupid and will easily see them for what they are (idiots) if they try to pull this off.
I mean really, poll after poll show this not to be the case. Rally after Rally the crowds increase. Week after week elected dems choose to retire (code word for running scared) than face a humiliating defeat due to their incompetence (generous word there).
Even Norah O'Donnel (mslsd) was laughed at by - get this - her collegues for suggesting it. Granted it was in reference to Gingrich (who I am no fan of) but by extension all know what she was saying, and again laughed at.
The gig is up and they know it, this is but desperation. Tis' good to keep your guard up but a tiny Chihuahua guard dog could handle this.
lolo...they don't need to infiltrate your racist organization, it'll come out on its own.
ReplyDeleteTake NY Gov Candidate and tea party favorite Carl "the Email" Paladino. His email account shows the reality of what the TEA PARTY is backing.
http://wnymedia.net/paladino/
You are some sick basterds. I'm just some Godless lawless heathen and i don't forward emails like those.
Joe,Joe,Joe there you go with the unproven racism line. We have proven that the unions and the liberals are the racist ones time and time again.Do I need to keep showing the SEIU members beating that black conservative? But because you have no proof of the lie that the Tea Partiers are racist you libs have to infiltrat as the racist to give the main stream media some pictures and videos that you are missing now. I'm sorry Joe but I saw the counter protesters and the whites and black(paid to protest) couldn't be farther from each other. All you libs see are colors. And even when you see racism at your plant they are "conservative racist". How Lame is that. Go back into the rabbit hole Joe this world is too hard for ya.
ReplyDeleteJoe Look At ANY Large City That Is Run By Liberals and You Will See What The Libs Have Done To The Poor and Minorities. Joec You Play The Race Card BUT it Seems Your Ideaology Is The DEALER!
ReplyDeleteChris, the unproven racist is what you call me all the time? The link i included showed proof of a bigot within the TEA PARTY ranks. Did you look at it?
ReplyDeleteAl, Thats your contention, not a fact. You can ASS-ume all you want and that doesn't mean its true.
Go to the link and see what a scumbag the TEA PARTY fave Paladino is. Then tell me its unproven.
Joec I Beleive Its Time For You To Deal Again Cause The Truth Is Not "ASSuming" Its Just The Truth!
ReplyDeleteAl, how is it the truth? Please explain it to me using your vast knowledge? And without all the caps please.
ReplyDeleteJoe you have been calling us racist since the begining. Out of all the videos I've shown with the left actiung as racist as can be you might have found a racist in the Tea Party? We all know there are racist everywhere. But you on the left are trying to pin the Tea Partiers as all racist. You find the one in a million and blanket us all with racism. The VP or SEIU call the uniuon members racist and you just ignore it. What is wrong eith your ability to preseve reality when it is in picture and video so often?
ReplyDeleteNow come on Joe. Someone is saying that they got this video? And you just believe it because a liberal .org said so? Dude you will believe anything as long as it bashes us or Christians. Go back in your rabbit hole my friend. The real world is just too hard for you to handle.
ReplyDeleteChris, can ignore that he's the tea party choice for Gov of New York, not just some middle of the road nobody. How can you ignore that? Must be because you have your head in the sand.
ReplyDeletewhy not chris, you believe anything that BrettBart or whatever his name is? like that video proving the tea party didn't use racial slurs that didn't happen when he said it did. you bought it and even included it in your blog. Talk about believing whatever your told. Or the Acorn video that was edited to look like something tis wasn't. Wow you have some nerve to talk about believing whatever liberal.org says when your hooked on con.org
Joe it hasn't been verafide that he sent it. Duh, did ya ever think that blogger made it all up? Why isn't all over the 'real' news? I don't know if it is fake or real. But it smells of a fake. And the odds of some blogger getting a hold of this 'email' is slim and none. This is a lot like the Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl story you libs spread. It is your MO. Joe where are the video tapes of the black caucuse being called the "N" word? There are none. They said it happened 15 times and not one bit of proof from all those thousands of video. Go back in you rabbit hole Joe. The VP of SEIU calls the white union members racists and your responce is it must have been the conservative ones. That is so far out there Joe you scare me. Take a sip of that Lib-aid and you will lall back to Joeyville,2280 UAW Lane Rd.
ReplyDeletehasn't been verified....God Damn your clinging to a thin rope there....
ReplyDeleteHe admitted to them. LMAO.
"Paladino, a millionaire with ties to the Tea Party movement, insisted he's "not a racist."
"I confess to being human and imperfect, as are all of God's children," he told a Buffalo crowd Monday. "I am proud that I've created hundreds of jobs and opportunity for people of every ethnicity, color and sexual preference."
Paladino said he "didn't originate any of these e-mails" and was "somewhat careless" in forwarding them.
He said he tried to send the e-mails to "a very specific bunch of friends who somewhat enjoy that humor."
Paladino apologized to women for passing along porn - but not men.
"I say this to the men out there who have never opened a graphic image on the Internet: Don't vote for me. For those who have, I welcome your vote," he said.
For Paladino, a virtual unknown outside western New York, it's the latest in a string of embarrassing - and potentially politically fatal - revelations in recent weeks.
He angered 9/11 families by saying Obama's health care reform will ultimately kill more people than the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The so-called "values" candidate also admitted to fathering a daughter 10 years ago during an extramarital affair."

Thats the TEA PARTY for you. And you clowns bring up John Edwards. Least he didn't forward emails with the word Ni##ER in them.
ReplyDeletethis guy did everything Edwards did and he's a bigot. LMAO
One man out of how many millions. And I pointed out 5 out of 15 counter protesters,a beating of a black tea partier,a union boss calling you a racist as well as the liberal plan to infiltrate the Tea Parties as Nazi's or whatever. You are pathetic Joe. Talk about a double standard. Joe like I said you found one and lie you hat on him when I've given you a bunch and you ignore them. Go back down the rabbit hole Joe. This is the real world where the reality is that you on the left have many more instanses of racism and all you on the left do is put us all in a colored box. Blacks are Democrats and white conservatives a racist. Your actions on the left scream having an issue with the color of ones skin. Shame on you for judging us all by the color of our skin and not our characture. If a black man rallies with the Tea Party you beat him back into the black box you put him in. You are no different then the Democrats that wanted to keep slavery alive and well in the South. Blacks are getting sick of you libs telling them what they can think and how they can vote.
ReplyDeleteChris, I don't assume your a bigot, nor do i assume everyone here is a bigot, but i know that your party, both the RNC and the TEA Party is attracting them. I know personally people who are bigots who support them both.
ReplyDeleteYou should be honest with yourself and us here about that. i presented a candidate that is getting Tea Party backing for Gov of New york who thinks forwarding emails that have fake motivational posters saying "Holy Shit Ni$$ers run" is okay. And he defended that by saying he was sending it to a small group of friends that like that stuff.
Did you read that? He was forwarding it to friends who like that stuff. Racist images. he has friends who like that stuff. Thats his excuse.
You presented some average people at the counter protest, a uniuon official who feels that union members who oppose immigration are bigots (i don't oppose immgration reform) and a black man that hits another black man and calls him the N-bomb.
I'm thinking your hiding behind those things becuase the reality that some if not alot of the anti-Obama backlash is if not outright racist, but racial and partisan distrust. if conservatives are willing to say it in front of me, a staunch Obama supporter i know they'll say it in front of you guys.
Joe YOU Are the Dealer Of the Race Card on This Blog and I ASSume You Know It Cause You Do Seem To Like It!
ReplyDeleteSo what Joe? What is your point? The DNC has more KKK members in it then the RNC. If anything we should be the ones pointing out the racism in your party and unions. Thanks to the crying from the left we do keep telling you and PROVING(something you can't do because you only have an opinion of racism,no proof) that thew racism is coming out from the left not the right. It's the Democrats that "voted for the white half" that are the racist that might be "attracted" to the Tea Party. Just because thats what you might do doesn't mean that other racist will do the same thing as you would Joe. Not everyone thinks in black and white like you do.
ReplyDeleteChris, I have a few questions Would you be willing to answer them?
ReplyDelete1. How many members of the DNC are also in the KKK
2. How many members of the RNC are also in the KKK
3. Where did you find those numbers?
4. How is union leadership racist? How are union members? Thats two questions sorry.
