RNC nut throwing racism.

I wish they would have been apprehended and arrested so we could have found out who these guys actually are. They're the very tactics that were used by the now defunct leftist group, 'Crash the Tea Party'. Something about this whole incident is bogus and the CNN reporter presented a convenient opportunity for them.....

Oh my, I expect the kind of glassy-eyed indoctrinated posts from you but really? This is such an old cliche of the right wing used all over the world, from the KKK's defense of domestic terrorism in the 50s and 60s to the death squads of Central America.

"The left wing had agents that dressed up as us and they did this to make us look bad. We swear! That had to have been what happened!"

Dude, come up with something new. This one got old a long time ago.

Evidently not old enough. Still seems to be a favorite slimeball tactic from those of you on the brainwashed far-left......

"WHO WE ARE: A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons; who constitute the fake grass-roots movement which calls itself “The Tea Party.”

WHAT WE WANT: To dismantle and demolish the Tea Party by any non-violent means necessary.

HOW WE WILL SUCCEED: By infiltrating the Tea party itself! In an effort to propagate their pre-existing propensity for paranoia and suspicion. … We have already sat quietly in their meetings and observed their rallies.

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

Sound like fun? … It is!!" - Jason Levin. 'Crash the Tea Party'

Dude, seriously, it's old. Some-guy-with-a-blog is insufficient to make it convincing.

There are videos online of tea party crashers. Note that he said "leftists", not "the left wing". There is a big difference, just as there is a difference between "the far right" and "the right wing".

I'm not sure why anybody would waste energy trying to make the Tea Party look bad. If you just sit by and watch, they will do it themselves.

The distinction has been blurred at least in our parlance.

Back in my days of being a conservative Republican, "far left" meant "Communist", just as "far right" meant "fascist". That was back in the days when it seemed like our political discourse was a lot more grounded than today.

These days "far left" is bandied around to describe any liberal group, person or opinion. I don't even know what the adjective "far" in this context means anymore. What is "center left" or "moderate left"? And if liberal is the new "far left", as it seems to be from right wing rhetoric, what is Communist then, "Really really far left"?

Wow. I have to say I am shocked. I mean, make the Tea Party look more wacky, hateful and extreme than they already are? It seems like throwing a glass of water on a flood "to make it worse". How big is Levin's "movement"? Have there been any confirmed cases of his agents at work or is he just blowing smoke trying to look like he's important?

Regardless, A-Theist's knee-jerk denial based on the bare assertion that it must have been a leftist infiltrator to be laughable. The existence of some guy with a blog calling for this very thing makes it slightly more plausible but without any evidence to back the assertion, it's still ridiculous.

[Tiberius]

I've always taken the word "leftist" to mean a die-hard supporter of left-wing values, even when shown how ridiculous and extreme they are. Much like the far-right will cling to extreme ideas that have no place in a modern society. Both use dishonest tactics to try and subvert the other.

As for evidence tea party crashers exist, simply go to google or YouTube and search for them. You'll find plenty of examples.

Oh, I believe you, Tibs. I just think it's pointless.

Hence my analogy of throwing a glass of water on a flood and feeling smug about yourself that you "made it worse". There's a group of people who don't have enough to do with their time.
