The reports are out! ACORN (with the help of their paid protesters) plans to "crash" the parties!
Led by ACORN and the Huffington Post, many of the Cult of Obama groups intend on infiltrating the Tea Parties, looking to cause trouble. They are looking for fights to break out and all kinds of possible violence. Don't take this lightly either, ACORN is a professional agitation organization!
They're angry that this is a genuine grassroots movement! They hope to cause as much mayhem as possible, so the TV cameras can pick it up and run with it, and we know how the mainstream media loves to hammer a story like that ... over and over and over again. Then they'll say:
"Hey look, those Tea Parties are just a bunch of crazy wackos!"
Don't expect the "crashers" to be obvious though ...
Don't expect to see them wearing pro-Obama t-shirts or anything. Expect them to act as if they are against the bailouts and tax hikes. If anything, they'll most likely be wearing anti-Obama gear. Why? To infiltrate. To be one of us. This way, when they cause their trouble, it'll make the genuine participants look bad, without anyone knowing it was them.
But let's face it ... even if the mainstream media did know it was them, they'd never report it that way!
Tips & Suggestions:
- If someone tries to get confrontational with you, ignore them. You may want to kick their ass, but that's exactly what they want, so just ignore the troublemakers.
- Be careful about any petitions you may sign. They are notorious for giving false impressions about what you're really signing.
- If you see someone attempting confrontation with someone else, walk up, start talking with those being confronted, and just easily move the conversation in a friendly direction. Don't let these troublemakers win!
- Remember, a fun, peaceful protest will cause greater change than any protest of anger.
- Take pictures of the troublemakers so there's a record of who they are.
Roger L. Simon has Some Great Advice to Offer:
... But if they intend to participate and shape events while hiding their identities, well, that's another matter. The same is true of ACORN. I would say to them welcome. Demonstrate, counter demonstrate, do your thing. This is America. But if someone's out to play the agents provocateurs game, trying to make the Tea Party movement seem to be what it's not, painting libertarians as racists or similar nonsense, well, that deserves to be exposed and countered vigorously.
So my recommendation to Tea Party demonstrators as a former leftie is to tear a leaf from my old book. Keep your eye out for the most extreme characters and then ask yourself: Is that real? Is that person who he or she says he is? Cui bono, who profits, here from what they are saying or doing? Draw your conclusions (carefully!) and then act accordingly and completely within the law.
The Other McCain adds even More Valuable Advice:
- The important thing to do here is think strategic while acting tactical.
- Have a laugh. Do things in which you can take satisfaction.
- Eschew things that will require fifteen minutes of explanation for the grandchildren.
- Should someone preach violence against elected officials, shun them.
- Remember, your name is Dennis, the Constitutional Peasant.
And via McCain's post, Cynthia Yockey offers the following Most Excellent Piece of Practical Advice:
My advice as a former newspaper reporter is to obtain the name, phone number and e-mail address of anyone who wants to interview you, write it down and take their photo before you talk to them.
More Information on the Infiltrators:
- Huffington Post Is Recruiting Infiltrators For Tea Parties (Updated)
- ACORN, HuffPo Organizing Efforts to Infiltrate Tax Day Tea Parties
- Left wants in on Tea Party action
- Hill panel testimony to accuse ACORN of mob tactics
Let's make sure our Tea Parties stay peaceful, to make them effective!
UPDATE: The following is from The Liberty Papers:
TEA PARTY CAUTION! DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING - FROM ANYONE - AT ANY TEA PARTY ANYWHERE IN THE USA -- NO EXCEPTIONS!
Federally-funded ACORN operators will be at all Tea Parties to get signatures which they will give to Obama stating that the signatures are in support of his policies or to get the names of people who oppose his policies and report dissention.
NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING! IF YOU HAVE FRIENDS WHO PLAN TO ATTEND, WHO DO NOT HAVE EMAIL, GET ON THE PHONE TO WARN THEM. TRY TO CALL OR EMAIL RADIO TALK SHOWS AND LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.
PASS IT ON!

Michigan Redneck,
You can say whatever you want! LOL! And I think you’re right about the over-enthusiastic too.

Hey great advice posted here! Actually, I would think that people who seem too overenthusiastic could be impostors.
BTW, as a conservative who has a full time job, I want to say something to Green Eagle, but this is your blog and I don’t want to be mean on someone else’s blog.

Man, you guys need to grow up. What kind of fantasy world do you live in?
Obama and his suppporters have a full time job trying to repair the incredible damage that people like you have done to our country. We could care less about your pathetic tea parties.
