Tea Party Crashers

"...dismantle and demolish the Tea Party by any non-violent means necessary."

"Whenever possible, we will act on behalf of the Tea Party in ways which exaggerate their least appealing qualities (misspelled protest signs, wild claims in TV interviews, etc.) to further distance them from mainstream America and damage the public's opinion of them. We will also use the inside information that we have gained in order to disrupt and derail their plans."

Their "mission statement" on the web site states a goal of making Tea Party members look like a bunch of racisits, homophobes, and birthers.

"Crash the Tea Party was formed by a man named Jason Levin.  Levin's goal is to" form organization around the country to thwart the Tea Party political goals.  He plans to accomplish this objective by infiltrating the Tea Party with false members.  He will then have those members "out-crazy" the tea partiers.  As an example Levin says his fake members will claim President Obama is an extra-terrestrial alien when tea partiers claim Obama is foreign-born."

I wonder how well tactics like this would play at DNC rallies?

Abbie and the Yippies! would have done something like this to discredit the Tea baggers.

Why bother, they are doing a great job of this themselves? They don't need anybody's help in looking like complete loons.

Yeah that individual liberty and small government stuff is pretty loony...

You act as if we don't have those things, relative to other industrialized countries, already.

You look great in pink & plaid.  Were you wearing a rainbow button that day, too?

Heck of an idea crashing tea parties. If anything "racist" or otherwise offense surfaces, blame it on a crasher.

Yeah, sounds stupid to me. I read some speculation that perhaps they aren't actually going to do it, they're just saying they are so the tea partiers will eat their own.

Now that's clever (if accurate).

[heironymouspasparagus]

It's all good.

Kind of the whole point to this country if you ask me.  Free expression.  Dissent.  Letting people be their own kind of fool.  Magnificent!!!

What America needs most is MORE FREE SPEECH!!!

As for big government, the only thing the Party-of-no says is no.  Smaller government.  I am curious as to exactly what size would be the correct size?  (And "smaller" is not an answer - it just points to the lack of imagination of the "sound biters")

1/2 what it is now?
1/4??
0.8375 times what it is now??

Let's hear some numbers.

Accompanying thoughts;
Should it be big enough to continue to fend off Marxists around the globe?
Should we keep it big enough to counter the new world threat of China?
Should we reduce it to half, but keep all the infrastructure in moth balls so we can spool up again in case of emergency, crisis, or the next time a President's daddy is embarassed?
Should it be no bigger than the government of Switzerland?
How about Russia?  (Keeping in mind they have over 1.2 million govt. employees just working for the central railroad.)
