State Dems scrambling to deploy tea party ‘crashers’

New Hampshire Democrats are engaged in a statewide search for liberal activists willing to attend so-called tea parties on Thursday and carry signs expressing racist or fringe sentiments, a Democratic source with knowledge of the effort tells NowHampshire.com. According to the source, who sought anonymity for fear of reprisals, the Dems’ last minute scramble reflects a growing obsession among party leaders that they need to discredit the tea party movement soon or it will overwhelm them come the November election. 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. If she pulls it off, this won’t be the first time Sullivan has endeavored to manufacture a racist controversy regarding the tea party movement. Last month Sullivan and other Democratic leaders attempted to portray a “white pride” rally in Concord held by a Massachusetts-based white supremacist organization as a tea party. Sullivan was forced to retract her bogus accusation. Nor would this maneuver be a radical departure from other stunts the party has engaged in recently. Around Easter the Democrats sent someone dressed in a bunny costume to the Republican State Committee headquarters. The stunt was widely panned, though thinly covered, and some internet wags speculated Sullivan herself was inside the suit (see below and judge for yourself.) Sullivan has also been making herself a bit of a nuisance in Manchester. She has been attending meetings of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to glower at Mayor Ted Gatsas.

They go and announce this on a big scale and expect it to paint the Tea Parties as racist.

Democrats must really think racial minorities are stupid.

They will stoop to any lengths to discredit us. There is no morality, no soul, nothing that matters to them except money and power.

I only wish that were true.

Unfortunately, even when we retake Congress and the White House we will continue to behave as Reagan did - he believed that Democrats were really Americans and should be treated accordingly.

Thin story; anonymous source, no backup. Approach with caution.

I must admit I chuckled when I read that last bit.

Good prior planning wins the day here, for any number of reasons.

1) Do not rely on spontaneous individual reactions to protect the group. Instead, designate some strong adults as “security” for the event, and make sure everyone in the group knows who they are. This can be as easy as asking ahead of time for a few volunteers.

2) Establish a group perimeter, making it easier to notice when someone is approaching the group. Let everyone in the group know if there is a “neutral zone” between the group and any antagonists.

3) Figure out likely means for the group to be assailed. In past, children have been used as proxies, both to join the group and be pictured with signs, and to start fights, or throw projectiles. The response to this would be very different than to say, a Code Pink screamer, or a group of SEIU thugs who want to violently attack.

4) Law Enforcement Officers can be as different as night and day. It would be very wise to figure out what their attitude is ASAP when they are on scene. They may be hardcore unionists, or they may be friendly, or just objective.

5) Video recording can be a big plus. So can having an inexpensive audio amplifier earpiece that lets you hear conversations at a distance. And a hand held stun gun and pepper spray could be good, too.

This is no different than Nanzi and the CBC walking through the crowd in DC. They are trying to create an incident then blame it on us. Can they not see that since they have to “create” an incident or “paint” us as racist, they are admitting they have been lying?

I picked up a brand new pepper spray last week. It’s a last resort, I’m too old to let any damned fool pound on my body.

There’s a psychiatric term for it...”projection”.

THIS article has some good tips. Item 1aIV sounds particularly effective.
