The Fox report on this story.

I think he's just saying you should consider your sources - always a good thing. You blaming "the left" for morons like Jason Levin is just as bad as everyone blaming "the right" for the idiots that show up at Tea Parties. If you think that the Jason Levin crew really happens en masse, you're just as guilty of what you're accusing the media of doing.

That said, I live in DC and have driven/walked past these things (long before any organized conspiracy to infiltrate/discredit could have happened) and the ignorance/racist/homophobic stories aren't anecdotal - I won't say it was widespread, but it wasn't a fringe few.

Agreed.

I'll definitely say that the people touting racist propaganda aren't the majority. But you would think that the majority would clear those others out. Same thing with the "infiltrators." There's even more reason to clear out the bigots, whether they be real or impostors.

So 2 people are randomly attacked in the French Quarter of New Orleans. No one knows who the attackers were, or why they chose to attack those two people. But since they were republicans, the attackers must have been liberals bent on killing and death and violence!!

Because, you know, no one ever gets mugged or anything in New Orleans.....

Seriously Josh? This is really grasping at straws, even for you. A right-wing website says 'we have no idea who did this' and you extrapolate that it must have been liberal thugs? Your stuidity knows no bounds.

Oh and lets not forget about the actual, confirmed political violence by people opposed to health care reform.

Reality > you

Coming from a lefty that really hurts....

As opposed to Eric Cantor's office that was shot at. And the officer and horse here in portland that were injured by liberal anti cop protesters. Nope liberals are peaceful people.


Think SEIU....

I hate to spoil a good lynching, but..... some of those guys at Crash The Tea Party don't sound all that different than most of those who profess a hatred of liberals here.....

Go figure.

First of all, most of us don't hate liberals... we just think they are ignorant. We hate liberal policies because they are dangerous and bad for us all. A liberal assumes that since their erratic thinking and fanciful dreaming is rebutted by a conservative, that the conservative hates them. So, the liberal hates conservatives rather than trying to vindicate their ideas. It's yet another common indicator of faulty liberal thinking.

And "those guys" who you link to are people who have found that idiot's site and are peppering it with their views. It's an open forum. Those posts don't reflect who the morons are who created that site and are fostering hate and dissension breaking every rule they profess to stand for. They are true idiots. I hate their actions and what they stand for. I don't hate them. There is a big difference, one that liberals can't seem to understand.

[Bill 84 318i]

Nope. Sound more like the Alex Jones crowd, many of who blamed Bush for 9-11 and who also mostly belong to the Dem party.

Nice try at deflecting from the real issue, which is that some on the left are going to attempt to infiltrate Tea Party Rallies in an attempt to paint them as racists, homophobes, militia types and all of the other false media stereotypes that are unproven, so these guys will merely pretend to be Tea Party members while acting like racists and homophobes which the media will eat up without question.

How sad that the left resorts to such immature and underhanded tactics.

Speaks poorly of them, not the Tea Party.

They have zero proof that the Tea Party is racist and/or homophobic, so they will just "create" the proof.

But the media won't see it that way and will give 24/7 coverage to the handful of infiltrators/pretenders and label them to be typical of the Tea Party.

Personally, I hope these infiltrators are outed and get a good ass-kicking, which is what they deserve.

"Jason Levin, founder of the CrashTheTeaParty.org, said on Monday that he has recruited liberal allies across the country who will help make the fiscally conservative organization’s members look racist, ignorant and homophobic during their tax day protests, according to the Associated Press (AP)."

Exactly!

With all the racist boards the tea partiers are holding up, I'm surprised there hasn't been more violence. If I was a black conservative partier, I'd be pissed.

The crazies on both side are the problem, for sure. There is also a whole lot of misinformation being spewed out there that does nothing but heighten the anger between groups. There's bound to be some violence on both sides because of this kind of thing.

But then your second statement shows that you've fallen victim to the other side too. The only racist boards that I've seen that Tea Party people hold up are either the fringe crazies who are not really part of the Tea Party, or, they are liberal activists trying to make the Tea Party look bad.

Of course, holding up a sign saying "Affirmative Action isn't" or something similar is not racist. It is a statement that people are created equal and stupid laws like Affirmative Action do more damage than good.

Another thing to think about: liberal "grass roots" activism has always had it's dark side that promoted intolerance and violence. The media conveniently ignores that aspect of liberal movements. However, how much attention has most of the media been paying to the fringes of the Tea Party movement? A whole lot of attention, that's how much. It skews perspectives.

[Ral]

yeah, this seems pretty weak as a story...

[mar1t1me]

Well maybe if it were actually newsworthy. People are assaulted
everyday...

Besides, unless Fox News has gone liberal, I don't see anything on their site unless it's buried.
