Alinsky’s Avenging Angels: Tea Party Saboteurs; Update: Crash the Tea Party founder faces two investigations; NH Dem denies crash plan
My syndicated column takes off on the post I did earlier this week about the Tea Party crashers. More are coming out of their moonbat caves. JWF flags a corporate hospitality executive announcing his plans to “crash the Boston Tea Party of retards.” And in New Hampshire, the state Democrats are enlisting liberal activists to sabotage Tea Party Tax Day events:
Former Democratic State Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan is heading up the search, the source said. Sullivan has been calling and e-mailing liberal activists trying to get them to attend tea parties in different parts of the state and hold signs denying the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate and make racially disparaging comments to reporters. “This is Kathy’s [Sullivan] project,” the source told NowHampshire.com. “She is absolutely obsessed with painting the tea party people as racists.” Similar “crash the tea party” efforts are taking place throughout the country on Tax Day.
It’s the Alinsky way.
Update: Jason Levin, the middle school teacher in Oregon who launched Crash the Tea Party, faces two separate investigations by educational officials into his conduct.
Update: A denial from NH Democrat Kathy Sullivan at TPM. Waiting for response from Now Hampshire…

Alinsky’s Avenging Angels: Tea Party Saboteurs
by Michelle Malkin

One of the popular signs spotted at Tea Party protests across the country over the past year goes like this: “It doesn’t matter what this sign says. You’ll call it racism, anyway!” It’s a pithy, perfect rejoinder to the fusillade of attacks that limited-government activists have weathered from their Democratic detractors and a hostile national media. Committed Alinsky-ites never let reality get in the way of a good Tea Party-bashing narrative.
The radical acolytes of Chicago’s late left-wing organizer Saul Alinsky also understand the importance of manufacturing demons. “Before men can act,” Alinsky preached, “an issue must be polarized. Men will act when they are convinced their cause is 100 percent on the side of the angels, and that the opposition are 100 percent on the side of the devil.” This explains the left’s relentless campaign to sabotage the anti-tax, anti-bailout movement from Day One.
President Obama’s community organizing allies whispered “racist,” “fascist” and “fringe” in the earliest days of the stimulus demonstrations in January and February 2009, when hundreds of first-time protesters turned out on the streets in Washington State, Colorado, Arizona and Kansas. The whispers turned to hysterical screams as hundreds became thousands and thousands became millions of peaceful marchers who gathered for the first nationwide Tax Day Tea Party. Some fringe, huh?
The latest effort to smear Tea Partiers involves self-appointed agents provocateurs who are organizing a “Crash the Tea Party” campaign to discredit the April 15 Tax Day Tea Party by making up bogus racist signs and providing false portrayals of grassroots activists to the press. An online punk, Jason Levin, is spearheading the infiltration effort to “act on behalf of the Tea Party in ways which exaggerate their least appealing qualities” and “damage the public’s opinion of them.” Never mind that public opinion polls now show that the majority of Americans stand with the core principles of fiscal responsibility espoused by Tea Party activists.
Levin may be a lone wolf operator, but he has many fellow travelers in the Democratic establishment and left-wing fever swamps. And their efforts wouldn’t be possible without friendlies in the press who have openly insulted Tea Party activists with endless vulgar sexual taunts and Taliban comparisons.
A few months ago, Craig Varoga — a Washington-based Democratic political operative and overseer of a convoluted, money-shuffling web of political action committees — launched “TheTeaPartyisOver.org” to target Republicans who supported the Tea Party movement. The site declared that it would prevent the “radical” and “dangerous” fiscal accountability agenda from “gaining legislative traction.” Varoga’s money funneling is designed to obscure the Big Labor/progressive funding of his enterprises under the umbrella of his “American Public Policy Center (APPC).”
After conservative blogs and Fox News exposed his deceptive web of grassroots groups, Varoga password-protected his website so that the Democratic plotting against Tea Party activists could be conducted out of view.
I speak from direct experience about the underhandedness of Tea Party smear merchants. On Feb. 17, 2009, at one of the country’s first tax revolt rallies in Denver, a man approached me amid a throng of bona fide anti-stimulus protesters and thrust a camera in my face. I obliged cheerfully, as I usually do after such speaking events. I later learned from the character assassins at Progress Now, a left-wing outfit that just happened to be there and just happened to snap a close-up photo of the interaction, that the man pulled out a sign at the last minute (which I didn’t see until later) sporting Obama’s name with a swastika on it. He held the sign away from me, but in direct view of the Progress Now cameraperson.
That cameraperson just happened to be a former CNN producer, whose blog post on the photo just happened to be immediately disseminated by the local press and to the hit men at the radical-left Media Matters website. The narrative was set: A conservative supporter of the nascent Tea Party movement posed for a photo with a man holding up a swastika at a protest against out-of-control spending! Ergo, the anti-stimulus protesters and the entire Tea Party membership are all racist, fascist menaces to society!
Fast-forward to April 2010. Alinsky’s avenging angels have declared open warfare on April 15. Will they be enabled again by “mainstream journalists” who have turned their Tea Party reporting assignments into search-and-destroy missions? The signs point to yes.

» Barack Obama: Can we call him a Socialist now?
So, was the guy holding the swastika sign a plant?
Fear and hate drives their agenda. The left has not defined what they want, they do not know what they want. All they know is whatever they are told they want. People like this cannot and do not think, they want to be told how and what to think. They are like the groups of people in the ex-Soviet Union – those groups of people that celebrate the old Soviet system and revere and want Stalin to return from the grave. These are dangerous people, these are the types that will burn down a city or destroy anything in their path when they do not get their way.
From their ‘Crash the Tea Party’ site:
The Left knows no shame.
I suspect the failure of the WDC Democrats to illicit the crowd response the pre-written stories were prepared for, will get there story this time.
The problem now is everyone knows what the plants are up to this time …
The problem for the 60s radicals is the current protesters aren’t 60s radicals and they can’t seem to understand that.
All this shows me is that we have gained the initative and they are in big trouble. They are losing and they know it.
When you adopt tactics like this you are at the point where you are sending out the suicide bombers, because that’s all you have left that might turn the tide.
Chin up, the other side is getting their “single point of contact” kicked.
You’re right. And it makes me laugh just a little that they revealed their plans ahead of the event. Nothing like stealth attacking.
But they still have the State Run Media on their side to report and exaggerate.
This is actually a good thing. Now, whenever we have a (rare) dolt among us, we can shout “faker” and people will believe it.
That’s because they feel the ends justify the means. They have been upfront that they will use “any means necessary” to diminish and destroy their opposition.
What goes around, comes around: there’s no reason why the Right should not engage in the same tactics.
It may not be right or ethical, but it’s the tune they’ve called in this political dance and it may be to the Right’s disadvantage to yield them the floor.
The truth will out.
The left doesn’t believe in the free marketplace of ideas.
These people are not crazy. They are not the “Americans” we think of either when we think of the best and brightest of our nation. They are seditionists. They are statists who don’t really want to “change” our country. They want to destroy it and everything it stands for. That is their STATED goal, which includes demoralizing and demeaning good, upstanding people. Frankly if you were to compare the crowds those people have and what their demographics are and then contrast it with the Tea Party Coalitions, the differences are drastic. The Tea Party demographics are not the wild-eyed, screaming mob-like idealogues that you see at the socialist/union community organizing “events”. There is no difference between the SEIU/AFL-CIO/ACORN/Democrat led “events” and those of a communist party workers’ rally.
Exactly.
The other issue is — the Tea Party refuses to be centralized, which is another reason the Left fears it. It is a spontaneous, true organic movement that has sprung up coast-to-coast, even in traditionally dark Blue environs like CA and NY.
I won’t be going to the DC tea party on the 15th, but I’ll be going to our local one, as will, literally, millions of other Americans who can take a day off work to make their voices heard.
And I am sure the signs will again be homemade and heartfelt, in direct contrast to the SEIU-ANSWER manufactured ones.
Mine says: Attention Congress: You’re FIRED !
So we have gone from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to Bitter Clingers to agents of “radical” and “dangerous” fiscal accountability agenda! How proud can we be?
We need to be alert and think ahead on this-at infiltration and sabotage they are better at this then we. As we saw with the Amnesty protests and MM Feb. 17, 2009 anti-tax rally they can be very good at fitting in and pulling out a sign, starting a fight and such. Just don’t let them pull you in and be watchful if one of our people gets too upset. Get between him the the saboteurs-don’t let the fight start regardless of how badly you want to drop kick a few of them. Cameras, video cameras, phone cameras are all our friend.
Now if you were to run into one of these left over old hippies or their spawn OFF Tea Party venue and you had a mind to do something that is different–just not at a Tea Party event. We of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to Bitter Clingers to agents of “radical” and “dangerous” fiscal accountability agenda salute you.
Void of morals.
There are two Americas – those in the dark vs. those in the light.
We have a tea party rally in Norfolk, Va., on the 15th. I wish it was the 16th so I could attend it. I have to work Thursday to pay “my fair share” of money due the freeloaders and the Reid/Obama/Pelosi cartel.
This is the Left mind in full view. The facts are what I manufacture them to be.
We already know that if you didn’t vote Democrat for the prez, then you are a racist.
Greg Gutfield has a good point.
http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/ggutfeld/2010/04/13/daily-gut-infiltrating-the-tea-party/#more-333866
And according to Eric Holder a good part of those who did vote for Blue Lips are racist. When it comes to the Race Grievance Industry and the whores of the White Guilt Cult there is no appeasing them. We do the right thing and tell the weenies to go away.
When the left is losing an argument they play the race card. Take your video camera’s with you tomorrow. Breitbart.com is going to post disruptions by the protest protesters because the MSM will ignore their fellow travelers getting out of line.
BTW anyone needs a Tea party sign for tomorrow, I posted mine HERE.
Like Ive been telling you guys for the past couple of years, names dont mean anything.
Im a racist?…. ok what else ya got. My moms a whore?… what else you got. I hate poor people?… ok what else got. What I say is a hate crime? ok what else got.
Thats it? oh come on, you lefties can be more creative than that, you’re just boring me. Because we’re awake now and we dont believe the politicians or the media and we’ll bury you in facts not sound bites.
LOL, or maybe we ARE all racists and haters – then you lefties are really screwed. Whatcha gonna do then?
But…But…But I thought dissent was patriotic.
Yet another tell-tale sign that it’s all about power. The mentality of the Left is “‘consent of the governed’ my fat rear end!”
ROTFL
From Rasmussen: On major issues, 48% of voters say that the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than President Barack Obama. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own.
Not surprisingly, Republicans overwhelmingly feel closer to the Tea Party and most Democrats say that their views are more like Obama’s. Among voters not affiliated with either major political party, 50% say they’re closer to the Tea Party while 38% side with the President.
See why the Alinskyites are scared?
And really now… if the Tea Partyers were actually racists, wouldnt theres be be taunts of ‘dagos’, ‘spics’, ‘gooks’, ‘wiggers’, etc and not just ‘niggas’?
Because I would think that a racist wouldnt only confine themselves to just a single racial dissatisfaction.
we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor
The men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Nine of the signers, all of whom had pledged their lives to the support of the Declaration, died during the Revolution—all but three as a direct or indirect result of it. Being called a dirty name pales in comparison. From Concord Bridge to the Sand Box and Khyber Pass our people prove their mettle-do not ask less of yourself.
By golly if my relatives were at a Tea Party rally back in MN, they’d be screaming, “Dozs lefites in Congress day are as dumb as a buncha Norskies, you betcha.”
The end (universal communism) always justifies the means (enslavement, mass murder, mass poverty, and civil war). A look at history shows this over and over, which is why communists refuse to teach history.
You are so right in comment#26. Words, just words, the only time such words are effective is if they are true. The problem is that these tactics have worked in the past to make good people shrink from protesting, good people do not like to be thought of as racist etc, etc. The only way to stop this tactic is to confront it head on just like you say. This is the reason I love Chris Christie, he isn’t going to let the shrieks of outrage stop him doing the right thing to bring the budget under control.
What really galls me is that the Party of the Imperial Wizard, which rebounded from the Civil War by lynching blacks and persecuting them for generations, should have the nerve to call us racists. What a supreme historical crock o’…
What people like Jason Levin and Craig Varoga haven’t figured out yet is that many people on the right are now aware of Saul Alinsky and the methods he advocated.
But they can’t stop people from Voting, and they can’t stop people from discussing – Alinsky didn’t foresee having his own Con turned on his followers, he didn’t foresee mass – instant communication either, like the internet…cell phones that can take video and still photos.
The Alinskyphiles are like a little dog that tries to make it’s shadow look bigger – cast a bigger shadow than the size of their group, it is for protection against bigger groups SEE TEA PARTYS
The Alinskyphiles are really more like a chihuahua – A chihuahua that keeps lifting it’s leg on the US Constitution.
There are way more of us than there are them, and they are having trouble keeping their desperate factions together.
They can’t get same sex marriage on the California ballot. The same people who voted Obama into office for President in California voted against same sex marriage.
Let’s see there is the anti war folks hmmmm we are surging in Afghanistan.
Over turn Don’t ask Don’t Tell. The Pentagon is studying it “That’s one of my favorites” Military speak “We will take it under advisement” LOL
Shamnesty Hmmm not looking good this year. Sorry La Raza.
The Abortion folks not happy with that Stupak executive order.
There are the Unions, and not all of them are agreeing with each other. In fact behind most of this counter protest crap is the Unions, in the background.
I think Ron Paul was right when he labeled Obama a “Corporatist” Nobody is going to win during the Obama era but the Corporations.
What do the Democrats have going for them? A Health Insurance Reform Bill that just keeps getting more and more unpopular.
Slightly off topic but not by much:
Red flag for a sinking Obama: Americans now prefer Hillary Clinton
Would you prefer to be hanged by a hemp rope or a nylon rope?
prefer her for what? Cleaning the toilet?
Too little, too late.
There’s something going on and it’s starting to scare me.
*The nasty protest (and tbd beatings) that happened in New Orleans.
*Flash mob in Philly a few weeks ago.
*(Not officially called a) flash mob (700+kids)in Kansas City this past weekend.
Even though the New Orleans thing had a political ‘theme’ all three events were basically inspired by or produced anarchy. Philly and KC started up on viral social networking sites.
I’m starting to think that the antithesis of the Tea Party is the manipulation of our youth by who/what/where … that’s where I’m scared.
Squirl-Your forgot the most important thing of all: We love the Second Amendment and we own lots of guns with the ammo.
Now pardon me, I have an appointment to go clean my Sig-226 this afternoon after target practice.

‘Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It’
The problem that the left is having is that normally in a classic static political environment, they will resort to the Politics of Person Destruction (e.g. the Clintons). The Clintonian form of politics makes so much more sense now that we know Hillary’s thesis was written on Alinsky.
However, in the case of The Tea Party, we are witnessing what can be grouped in the same realm as ‘asymmetric warfare’. There is no specifically defined leader of the tea party movement, so the left can only really go after Palin, who is only the “ceremonial” face of the movement. Therefore we can bring assets online and to bare as needed. This is also known as dynamic provisioning.
Never buy into the rhetoric. When they show you the left hand, watch the right. When Obama is doing something, dont forget that the Clintons are the snakes lying silent in the grass. When the GOP is acting a fool, take extra care to watch the Dems. Never trust Congress anymore – or at best ‘Trust but Verify’
The left has gone old school, but we’re kicking their a$$ new school with virtualized resources and utilizing ‘the cloud infrastructure’. Bring it on…
The manipulation of our youth has been ongoing since at least the late 60′s. Our so-called educators have been very busy indoctrinating and brain washing young minds for nearly two generations now. Aided and abetted by MSM and the entertainment industry.
And although you have reason to be afraid, do not fear – remain aware and be prepared.
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet…Rush said there are at least 650 Tea Party events planned for tomorrow! We need to add up all the participants and come up with a good, solid number to report. Can the lamestream media continue to ignore these events if they total up to over a million? I think we can hit that number easily!!
As for sabbotage…we know they are going to do that. We need to turn their dirty tricks back on them and expose them whenever we can! This is going to get very nasty because the LSM is on the side of the marxists! I can’t believe it has come to this…the media on the side of evil. Very very frightening.
I have been thinking about showing up with a walker (sitting in our garage since my Mom died) and acting frail. Then get in a confrontation with one of the infiltrators and “allow” myself to be bullied and even knocked off my feet. All on video, of course! I can look very very frail if I have to, although I am strong as an ox for my old age of 67!!
We have to take out the leaders (Im not talking physically). Wiping out just the low-level politicians will gain us the next generation, but while the current political leaders are still in place, they can (and will) pervert, corrupt and control the new replacements.
The leaders of both parties have to go. We cant cut off their communications like the military, but we can attack the bridges, the crossroads, the passes and cut off the heads of the snakes. (again, Im speaking as allegory and metaphor, not absolutism)
Rational thought and new paradigms – we all should know by now that a single tidal surge does far more damage than a series of wind-whipped storm waves
This would fail miserably except the State Controlled Media is in the bag for Obama.
If anyone can manage to hold up a sign with Nazi allusions or the “N” word long enough for a photog to shoot it, before real Tea Partiers react, it’ll run page one on the NY Slimes and its pet the Boston Glob.
Remember, the meme is everyone who opposes Obama’s Marxism, including those that opposed Clinton’s much less pernicious form of Socialism when he was POTUS, is motivated by racism.
ABC 2 weekends ago ABC News had some tool named Potok from the SPLC on as their sole source about the supposed rise of militias, and they exist only because Obama is Black.
Opposition to complete redistribution of the wealth, automatically makes one a racist. It is the MSM meme, and they will keep going to that well long after it runs dry.
GK#42
They want you to feel that way.
Don’t give in to it.
If people in regimes who shoot to kill their protestors, don’t give up and continue to take to the streets …what’s our excuse?
LOL @GSP ya, theres always those at the ready.
And come on lefties…. Im seriously bored with the swastikas and hammer/sickles. Surely with all those millions in NEA grants, you’ve got something newer than 1934 symbology.
And really now…. Che ended up almost bald before he died. Come on, we dont run around with Reagans headshots from when he was a Hollywood actor.
Its time to neutralize the swastikas by laughing at the idiots that use then on their signs. ‘Pick the Target, Freeze It, Personalize It and Polarize It’
Just exactly what is radical or dangerous about fiscal accountability?
The truth is the truth. Alinsky’s rules can’t supress the truth forever. Anyone infiltrating the Tea Parties knows that it’s cheating and misrepresenting the truth. The American public doesn’t want a governmental take over no matter how thuggish the opposition behaves to accomplish it.
The left is terrified of the Tea Parties. This is proof positive that they know they have to “do something”. I appreciate everyone who is getting the word out about the crashers, thus allowing us to be prepared and ready with cameras, phones if something happens. I hope these crashers get exposed for the lyin’ liars they are–that will strengthen the resolve of Tea Party People everywhere. Let not your heart be troubled….
Actually, there’s a very good reason: the media will expose it with all the investigative fervor they can come up with, even as they ignore it when the Left does the same thing. The Right is being held to a higher standard than the Left. You can complain about the injustice of that state of affairs all you like, but that won’t change it.
Its the same way that prisoners in gulags and concentration camps are controlled. Just a handful of people with machine guns can force thousands to their deaths. If just a few people would rush the guards and overpower them, then while a few would die, thousands would be saved.
Claiming that everyone is a racist is just like using a verbal machine gun – the only difference is that we now know they are only firing blanks.
My faith remains in the Tea Party participants. Recall the Dateline plants at Martinsville Speedway. The fans are too enthralled with themselves and the race to ever worry about overt diversity. The Tea Partiers will typically do the right thing. The same cannot be said for the left with their violent, enraged behavior at conservative events. Bring ‘em on.
Every crowd has its loons; even the Tea Party. What the “crashers” have not figured out is, given that they have announced their intent to act like loons, our loons will be identified as crashers.
It’s a beautiful thing. Thank you Leftists.
Yes, they were hoping to meet bigots. My guess is that in the Dateline lunchroom the talk about Christians and Tea Party activists is as bigoted as anything you would hear from the clan. Projection – it’s what the left has for breakfast…
Remember the “I’m with stupid” t-shirts with the arrow pointing left or right? I believe Tea Parties should make a few signs that say “Leftist Plant” with the directional arrow.
This way, when the media tries to take a picture of the plant/disrupter, the tea-partiers can have them identified for all the still and video cameras. The next step would be to show how the MSM will crop the photos to exclude the tea-party recognition of the disrupter.
Just sayin’…
It shouldn’t be too hard to pick out the infiltrators. The red-eyed stoned look surrounded by a cloud of smoke should be a dead give away. (Like, dude, doesn’t everybody smoke dope at protests?)
Yes, my plan as well.
They’re really not big on thinking through the second and third order effects, are they.
Ja Vrystaat! Ja Boers!
If you do not think the tide is turning, read this article posted on Drudge. This is the Washington Post…..The Washington Post
Sea change.
Obama Avoiding the Media
Forward, the Light Brigade!
Crashers etc won’t get the best of me and yes, I’m aware of the indoctrination for decades via schools. But the Philly and KC ‘flash mobs’ have me curious that there’s more to the story. These weren’t kids just hanging out. In KC they were blocking traffic, threw a girl in a prom dress into a fountain, disrupting people eating outside etc….
The corruption of our press (the #1 threat to our democracy) seems to be reaching a critical mass. It will be totally up to FOX News, and other visible conservatives like yourself Michelle, Andy Breitbart, and a host of others to expose every one of these infiltrators for their fraudulent actions, because the corrupt media will not do it. This type of character assassination cannot be allowed to stand. The corrupt media is at war with the majority of people in the US, and we need to be in full throat to expose them, and the loons crashing the Tea Parties.
What the left is doing to the Tea party is what has been happening to America for the past 40 years.
They like to destroy good things, and embrace bad things. Like Homo marriage, abortion, drugs, underage sex, disrespect, being in hock to the CHICOMMS, increased taxes, false history to children…
Any “infiltrator” will be dealt with quickly. Every 4th teapartyman is to bring a large blanket to escort the “infiltrator” away and give him a blanket party.
Pfft…what kind of revolutionaries are you people? Waaah…someone’s trying to paint our movement in a negative light. Grow a pair. Just imagine if you had someone like Nixon in the White House. He’d have had the FBI doing this to you. And you’re moaning about some cable news network that fewer people watch than a re-run of “Two and a Half Men.” Weak sauce.
And if you’re going to tell ANSWER or Code Pink or whoever else to deal with the loonies in their midst…guess what…YOU DO TO. So, the Hitler mustaches and the Holocaust pictures and the watermelon on the White House lawn e-mails and the racist jokes and the lynching imagery…if it’s not you, if it’s not what you represent, SAY SO. Quit whining.
I have access to two quite nice ones, thank you very much.
i’m in Annapolis, and except for health problems, I would go to D.C. tomorrow and carry the same sign I’ve carried to several other tea parties:
“President Sorros:
Please leave my country
and take your baby tyrant
with you”
So…you are comparing nObama to Nixon!!! We have NEVER been hit by anything like this.
Very weak. Most libs have no trouble ignoring facts. Thanx for the example.
He probably also has competing job offers from the Obama administration and MSNBC.
If so, the Tea Party organizers will have to shoulder part of the blame – if they have made no media contacts to inform them of the publicly announced plans of the crashers to pose as Tea Partiers for the cameras. That should have been done at least 2 days back.
Actually the kid has a point, sice Dem operatives have been caught organizing the crashers – State Dems scrambling to deploy tea party ‘crashers’ – who knows what other groups Obama has also involved. Nixon would be impressed!
Now, to complete the comparison, we just have to get the impeachment ball rolling, watch Obama resign in disgrace (just as he’s governed in disgrace) and then America’s national nightmare will be over.
If you think things are bad now, just wait a few months with the election looming and the leftists feeling overwhelmed. They will use everything in their playbook and probably invent a few new ones.
SOCIALISM’s DOWNSIDE
Among the simplest definitions of socialism is that it is a philosophy that advocates state ownership of industry. It focuses on collective usefulness rather than individual value. It stands in opposition to the free enterprise system that has sustained America for over 200 years.
Socialism has a violent history. Stalin’s Union of Soviet Socialist Republics murdered 7 to 10 million Ukrainians by starving them to death. Hitler’s National Socialists systematically executed 6 million Jews. Mao’s Peoples Republic ushered in the death of over 70 million Chinese thanks to its great leap forward. Lesser socialist like Pol Pot and Kim Jong-Il, killed for the glorious utilitarian purposes of the state. Today’s most benign forms of socialism still have a utilitarian and fatal tinge when it comes to the treatment of the aged, infirmed and children yet to be.
Socialism is anti-religion. The socialist’s utilitarian concept directly competes with the idea that there is a God and that every human being has a connection to that God. To synopsize Karl Marx, God is a threat to state control. Many socialist dictators try to stamp out religion all together. Others try to make it into a state function or convert it for politically correct purposes. In modern Europe, Christianity has been so assaulted that Islam is now the dominant religious practice in many nations. In the United States, Christianity is continuously under attack by activist courts and legislative decisions that intentionally and unconstitutionally drive religious expression out of the public sphere.
Socialism is anti-wealth. The socialist fundamentally believes that the blood, sweat and tears of an individual belong to the collective and the state. If an individual comes up with a unique idea, works hard to perfect that idea, and then successfully enters the market place, his success belongs to everyone as an entitlement.
The United States just turned a rather disturbing corner this past year with nearly 50% of its citizens not paying any income taxes. But the situation is actually worse. Individual wealth creators are now being treated with such suspicion that they must often get permission to create. This is an impossible burden as no creative individual knows in advance all of the ramifications and risks of his endeavors.
Socialism in anti-constitutional. The Constitution creates a framework within which the American federal, state and local jurisdictions work. It was designed by the founders to stand the test of time, and it has. Its uniqueness lies in its focus of the rule of law rather than the rule of leaders or changing cultural norms. The socialist wants to create a second bill of rights, and suppress the first because the first, – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, – are God given while the second are delivered at the whim and whimsy of the political class.
One final thought. Check out the WW-II memorial. The centerpiece is 4000 gold stars each representing 100 dead Americans. You might also want to check the deaths associated with the Korean and Vietnam Wars as well. These Americans died fighting for your liberty. And they died fighting primarily against socialism in its various forms.
Another sign to hold when standing next to a Tea Party Saboteur. Here
I would conclude by all this, that the rallies are not “racist”, if people have to infiltrate and manufacture racism to the MSM. The lid has been blown off of their plot, so doing any infiltration to stir up trouble would be worthless.
Hopefully any infiltrators will be unable to keep up the charade, will be identified and swiftly removed from the crowds without violence. Just enough people nearby to gently cart them to the edge of the crowd and given a shove. With enough cameras around they can be identified and revealed for who they are in following days. It worked fine for Andrew Breitbart when he was in Searchlight NV. The absolute most important thing is that these clowns do not get hurt physically, that would only be giving them what they really want.
The left protested Bush and the the MSM ignored the true crazies and called it patriotic.
Americans protest Obama, Pelosi, Reid and out of control government and the Left and MSM invent crazies and cal it racist.
I agree and the Tea Party being held in the KCMO area is all over it. AM/talk Radio announcements re: crashers began late last week. Also, along with uniformed officers, we are going to have some plain clothes people. Unfortunately our newspaper is in the tank and we have the standard anti-conservative media outlets.
I’d like to have anti-crasher training (the physical kind).
Something interesting in the comments section of the TPM Link re: Kathy Sullivan’s denial -
“Kathy Sullivan has a long history of dirty tricks in the NH presidential primary herself, including one incident where law enforcement had to become involved because she had been caught destroying personal property of other campaigns. And not just the type of stuff kids and young volunteers always do.”
Doing just a little bit of Googling I came across things like this:
Sign stealing: It’s a crime, Kathy (NH Union Leader)
That brings up something. Why are the majority of Tea Party attendees white/or non African Am?? Could it be that there is in fact racism but directed toward the whites/non African Ams? In the least, a conservative black person may get criticized by other blacks for attending.
We should try to make lots and lots of signs that read, “IMPOSTER” or “INFILTRATOR” or better yet, “INFILTRAITOR” with a large arrow pointing to the side. Then when we see an idiot, planted or not, we can stand beside them and hold up the sign so that the arrow points at them. Don’t leave their side and hope that if the MSM propaganda arm of the regime catches them on tape, they won’t help but get the other sign calling them out. In fact, it would be great to have multiple people standing around the infiltraitors with signs pointing at them.
That’s good, Gladz. Even better if there is a Tea Party press liaison who is in contact with the local media, cranking out press releases and keeping them informed.
I hope they are working with LE.
They are the ones who especially should have the crasher PR releases on their desks; that eliminates the “plausible deniability” of “we ain’t heard nuthin ’bout no crashers”. i.e. having to explain it all afterwards is like closing the barn door after the all critters have left.
I understand that would be satisfying, but then y’all would need a whole lotta extra bucks handy for bail, lawyerin’ fees and related quite costly expenses.
Now, if the good men and women in LE decide to engage the crashers in what The Simpson’s cop called “a good old hippie ass-whomping”, that’s fine by me. That’s in their job description. “Set you batons on auto-twirl!”
Donkeys only understand the language of canning behind their arses.
Tea party will need to learn to return the fire using freeloaders’ own techniques.
Jack-asses are perennial protesters for so many causes: WTO, Gay-rights, Environment, Code-pink, against wars,…
How about infiltrating / crashing their rallies / parties and make them look bad?
What?
They themselves are doing all the bad things, so Tea-party doesn’t have to resort to gutter level tactics?
NEVER MIND?
I have been emailing back and forth with the school from the beginning, they were shocked at what i sent initially,
and we went back and forth over the past few days discussing things he had said, safety concerns, etc. In our discussions, I have discovered that he did do much of this while on school grounds, from his media lab. He tweeted recently about being grateful he “has a job next year” so I dont think he is tenured. He also made some pretty rude comments about his coworkers and the kids he teaches. Got this yesterday after I sent them some of the tweets he had sent out:
here are the tweets:
from Mr Levin’s Twitter account:
http://twitter.com/xenex11/status/11257798555
In one of the emails, they asked me to show them where this was being discussed, as they had serious concerns about the safety of the kids.
I assured them that Tea Partiers were not violent, we were just wanting to peacefully protest.
Mr Levin is going to rue the day he started this. By the way, any one of my kids could make a better webpage than this “media specialist” did.
This is the NYT’s current take on the Tea Party:
Translation: all you po folks can raise hell cuz the rich are behind it.
Mainah – did you share this with them?
He “jokes”: “I’m currently being sued by my inner child for molestation.”
For a teacher to publicly write online “humorously” about child molestation is especially creepy.
I might have been worried they could cause some damage, but then I remembered that the brain cell counts of Alinsky’s avenging angels and “mainstream journalists” combined wouldn’t total to double digits. These a$$clowns will stickout like a sore thumb and be seen for the phonies they are. If that Nancy-boy Jason Levin is any indication of what they plan to send, a few manly man tea partiers should be able to have them squealing like pigs in no time.
When I consider how six batty old Code Pink ladies used to show up and get non-stop front page coverage about their “moral authority,” and compare it to the MSM coverage of the thousands of women that show up for these Tea events across the country, I just have to smile.
I got that quote from “Maggie’s Farm” and I think it makes the point.
I’m very thankful for the Tea Party movement, its restored my faith in America and the people who love her.
And the good news is we will just keep getting stronger!
purplepeep, absolutely. That was what made them say they were concerned about his remarks about children. That and the comment about overpriveleged white kids. They guy was stupid to leave such a trail to his real life. As my 14 yr old says: epic fail.
Yeah, His “joke” struck me the same way that a chef joking online about putting arsenic in his own lunch would. If nothing else, it should set off some bells re: mental stability.
Indeed. I’d guess this guy’s entire life has been an “epic failure”!
You ever think about if when your kids get older they’ll be embarrassed about some of their old slang terms? I remember watching Arlo Guthrie once where he was talking about how his kids laughed uproariously when they saw his 1969 Woodstock appearance (“Like, I was rapping with the fuzz – can you dig it?”).
I’m glad I never was a teen or ever did such things
me too.
On another note, I wish people would lay off the school now. They have stopped taking calls. Imagine the hell this has raised for them? It is really sad. If my kid were at that school, I would be furious. But people need to stop harrassing them now, for Pete’s sake. They know. They are acting on it. Continuing to harrass them only makes us look vindictive and hateful.
Groovy.
Yes, there’s no need to make them a “side-victim” in this sorry episode. Besides, that would be counter-productive since they’re already checking things out. The idea was to give them a heads up, not to tick them off as much as possible.

Mainah – it looks as if they are only interested in what he did on school computers/time and not the disturbing things he has said, even about his own students. The spokes-gal said there’s nothing the school could do: “This is an issue of free speech”.
nah, they arent happy with him. He has brought huge negativity to the school, cost them a LOT of money, and definitely used school hours to post some of his crap. You will note, he is not at school today.
The only way these people will ever be challenged or investigated is through local action: local media, local police, local government.
If these people are being investigated and covered around the country, it will pick up momentum, but it will never gain traction if we try to appeal to people at the federal level, as they are simply part of the corrupted machine
Yeah, I think the story is that it take till August, at least, for this to be sorted out? Have to check back in then to see what, if anything, was done.
Gee, for the days when teachers just taught kids….
a good time to start searching for blogs, twwets, and FB pages of our kids teachers eh?
