...Beaverton Middle School teacher Jason Levin's group wants to infiltrate the Tea Party to discredit the organization. But since Levin's name has been associated with the "Crash the Tea Party" Web site, he has been harassed by people who say they belong to that group.

Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats...

“Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats”

I phart in his general direction.

Yesterday since the media was still silent about this announced tactic, I suggested having an information pack on Crash The Tea Party's website (their URL, their own statements of using deliberately misspelled signs, using racist rhetoric, urging tea partiers to speak of using violence...).

This would be for the sake of the “objective” media (which often but not always) goes to ridicule the rallies (Village Voice media is openly hostile to these patriot groups).

They may be able to express “shock” and “disbelief” that any group (like TCCP) would ever DELIBERATELY pose as tea partiers, but they would not be able to deny having ANY knowledge (with that handout of exposure in their hands).

Such foreknowledge makes the media complicit in the lies they spread.

What a jerk! NEA at work.

In Texas, several of the rallies are being held on private property. It won’t be difficult to evict those who are there to disrupt and shame the event.

[Earthdweller]

Oops...the original men in black? (hangs head). Oh well...Blues brothers...men in black. Still a good idea.

Everybody take lots of pictures! And Record! Record! Record!

Obviously he lied.
since when is spending your time trying to slander other people who do not believe as you do being a productive member of society.

I think he may getting a little to close to the mentality of his Junior high students.

Do we really expect to ever be able to get along with people like this? We have a growing number of people that want to use government to control the rest and either we are going to stop them or it’s going to keep escalating.

Common ground? give me a break. Are we supposed to compromise and let these radicals run just a percentage of our lives?
