Crashing the ‘Crashing the Tea Party’ Meme.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 11th, 2010 at 12:15 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I can’t speak for whether or not the ‘Crash the Tea Party’ thing referenced here is real, or just some dweeb on the West Coast who’s trying to sell t-shirts to liberal racists who don’t want to admit that they’re racists.  Honestly, I could see either; one of the gratifying things about the Tea Party movement has been to see demonstrated that the Left’s vaunted prowess at organization and activism largely depends on having no standard for comparison.  They’re really pretty lousy at this.

That being said, the advice found here is pretty good:

Plants have already happened, just not organized ones. Regardless, perhaps organizers (or attendees) need to have a few signs that say “Liberal Plant, not a REAL TeaPartier” and be on the lookout for these double-secret spies. When one is found, then pull out your signs and stand next to the plant. No violence or physical actions, just isolate and embarrass.

And make sure that you get it on the record that you’ve done this.  I will keep harping on this until the end of time: a camera is an indispensable tool for these things. Without cameras they would have been able to get away with lying about Congressmen being spit on and called racial epithets*. So get one.

*Yeah, go ahead and burn that account. Over a failed narrative, no less.

    I’ve been having a silly good time posting on their dumb site. With hundreds of posts, we Tea Party people are invading that particular site.

    It is a lot of fun and eats up bandwidth. People who come to see what that site is all about are confronted with more PRO Tea Party posts than ANTI Tea Party posts.

    Come play. Play is good for the soul.

    Ha ha ha! After identifying themselves clearly on the opening page, they invite you to click on the word ‘crash’ to proceed into the site for discussion.

    Clicking on the word crash crashes the site! Guess they were not all that prepared to support a link from RS.

    There is such a neat, goofy reciprocity in the whole thing.

  • 4life

    with the above.

    I was at the 9/12 DC Tea Party and met the nicest bunch of people everywhere I turned. I did see one lady, who had a sour face, walking around with a sign that said that Obama was the Antichrist. She was ignored. No one reacted to her sign (we were sitting around the reflecting pool and she walked by in front of us). She was looking at us to see how we were reacting to her sign, and everyone ignored her. I saw a black man set up in the parking lot trying to sell posters of Obama with a Hitler mustache. No one was talking to him. I walked by after snapping a picture. Then, when I got home I saw a Youtube video of someone walking through the crowd with a pro-Obama sign. He was resoundly booed by the crowd. Also, a CNN reporter was booed while she was trying to give her report. I understand the booing, but when Jackson and Pelosi walked through the crowd the day of the healthcare vote the booing allowed them to claim the yelling of verbal abuses (unsubstantiated) by the crowd.

    So, I propose that at future Tea Parties and Town Halls, when the crowd is being purposely provoked, they react with total silence. I think that would be powerful. Just a thought. 5,000 – 20,000 – 50,000 – 500,000 people standing in total silence. Plug in any number and its powerful. I don’t think the whole rally should be silent, that would be no fun, but it would also be fun to watch the reaction of the ‘plants’ to total silence. And it would make it very hard for someone hiding in the crowd to yell something inflamatory as well.

    every one of us that has tried to “comment” there has had the usual comments thrown our way…….but let’s make a JOKE of them and they MIGHT take a joke!

  • cari

    at the August townhalls. I made two extra signs that read: “Tea Party crasher”, and “Not one of us”, with arrows pointing down.

    Sure enough, there were some La Rouchies that showed up with their Hitler signs, so one of our guys held the “Not one of us” sign over their heads from behind. They had no idea he was there, and when we started taking pictures and smiling, they thought it was because of THEIR signs! Good times, good times.

  • jsmiddleton4

    If the Tea Party was ineffective there’d be no crashing by anyone. Folks wanting to crash it is a good sign by the way.

  • baserunr

    that one persone was bringing signs to Tea Party events that read
    “Liberal InfilTRAITOR”. I think this might make a nice addition to one’s “arsenal”. Am I allowed to say that without the laft accusing me of inciting violence?

  • traversecityconservative

    in Traverse City, Michigan. Didn’t see any “crashers” other than the media. I thought it was funny that our local CBS station who sent 20-somethings to record the event, somehow found the four college students there who were against the rally. Gee, wonder how that happened? Coordinated meet-up, perhaps? In a sea of about 2000 people, isn’t it nice they were able to find four people to interview?

  • http://www.800cart.com Ron Robinson

    About a tea party rally in Burbank today where John Colbert is announcing for US Congress (CD29) to defeat Adam Schiff.

    Hope some of them show up.

    As Moe suggests, I will be there with 2 video cameras and so will my 12 year old son.

    If they show, we should have some very interesting videos to post on youtube.

    How would one answer the obvious ”interview’ questions?

    Would they give racist answers, or just say ‘I’m simply here to call attention to all the racists and homophobes present’?

  • gwalt

    Get Chrissy Matthews face on a poster board with RACIST stamped across his forehead—or YOU LIE!!!

    Like Andrew Breitbart said in his Wired interview—-it is so easy to play the media. Play them against—-themselves.

  • http://www.800cart.com Ron Robinson

    As many have obviously already done, I wanted to interview the folks who set this up, so I did a whois on the domain name. The site is registered to a Ben Franklin at 3 Chestnut Lane, Philadelphia PA (an address that does not exist, according to google maps).

    When I called the phone number registered, the party that owns the number had left a voice mail greeting saying he had no idea who the www.crashtheteaparty.org people are and please do not leave a message and please hang up…

    Poor guy.

    As always, these folks do not care whose rights they violate, as long as they can try to advance their msg by whatever means available.

    The ends justify the means, dontchaknow. Don’t care who gets hurt.

    Needless to say, I forwarded a recording of the voice mail greeting to the abuse contacts at the host and the domain registrar. Since their BBS allows files with posts, I uploaded a copy of the voice greeting to crashtheteaparty.org

  • factapple

    Tina Fey and the Alinsky media deserately try to project Obama stupidity onto tea party, If Obama is so smart why not release college transcripts?

  • msctex

    Not by their definition of the term. If you convince yourself you exist to “help” someone, then you thereby must be doing good for them, and thus could not possibly be in any way biased against them.

    The thought that assuming one’s help is needed necessarily implies and projects a lack of respect was systematically removed from their thought processes centuries ago, mainly by Kant.

    They’ve no idea what a functional notion of “The Good” entails, and those that can approach it, find that it repulses and terrifies them, because it is directly counter to all they know.

    One of the LaRoucheies was at L’ Enfant Plaza early last year. I really wish I would have had a video camera. I swear, she didn’t know what she was talking about. I think the only reason they sent her out was her… well… tight shirt?

    and excerpt:

    Jew Roundup: They’re Pouring Over the Canadian Border to Flood Graduate Schools and Bank Parking Lots. Legislation from State Senator Russell Pearce Aims to Make Them Rue the Day They Ever Entered Arizona

    “This isn’t about Jews occupying settlements on the West Bank,” said County Attorney Andrew Thomas. “It’s about Jews occupying parking lots at Citibank.”

    Arpaio promised to round up all Canadian Jews whose papers weren’t in order ? no matter what the federal government thought.

    “I can spot a Canadian Jew as quick as you can say ‘snow monkey,’” said America’s toughest sheriff. “Hook nose and earmuffs . . . What’s the mystery? So it’s pedal to the metal until my jail’s a shtetl.”

    Send in the clowns? Don’t worry, they’re here.

  • tdpwells

    …to lay claim to the smattering of unsavory folks who do show up (see the infowars crowd)…

    Have at it, liberals. Oh, and thanks for the ready-made excuse. In fact, maybe a few people should show up with signs that list the web address of the site with a bit arrow pointing, and we just stand next to said party crasher, smile, and have a pic taken.

    Their attempt to discredit actually works to destroy the MSM narrative. LOL.

    But it’s still incredibly ignorant regarding the issue of illegal immigration.

    But that is an ugly piece, and the author of it doesn’t like Mexicans as much as he thinks that he does and visibly hates Jews a lot more than he thinks that’s he’s showing. I don’t crud like that quoted on this site.

  • http://www.800cart.com Ron Robinson

    As posted earlier, the phone of the current registration was to an innocent third party who never knew what hit them – poor folks – and you can hear that voice mail greeting here if you have real player. The actual site owner apparently has no regard for the rights of people to be secure and untroubled in their private phone – especially if they have nothing to do with his site.

    Since the actual site owner gobsmacked those innocent bystanders in such rude fashion, and since the crashtheteaparty.org site owner has been deleting a post on his own site with his own original cached domain registration in violation of his own AUP, I have no problem preserving his original domain reg info here below. His facebook and Linkin addresses are at the very bottom..

    H/T Motorheadaches over at crashtheteaparty.org (one of the many crashers crashing the crashers) provided the cached domain record.

    A phone call to the number in the first record below was not answered and no opportunity to leave voice mail. The address is indeed found in Google Maps unlike the 3 Chestnut Court address on the latest reg record. A phone call to the second phone below apparently got Jason’s voice mail and I simply played the voice mail greeting linked above into his voice mail.

    Motorheadaches said:
    Fellow Tea Party Patriots:
    Keep this thread alive. As soon as the original thread by Cheshirecat and my two follow up threads fell off the radar charts, the cowardly crap pawner and hate monger JASON LEVIN deleted it. I have looked again through the entire general forum and can’t find it anywhere. Perhaps I may have missed it, but more likely not. In any case this data should remain in the forefront until this character understands that our country does in fact face onslaught by an element that can only be described as pure tyranny in garnet! The Tea Party is counter to that tyranny. Although every voice should be considered in logical debate, there comes a time when that debate must fall to the way of civil protest. When the other side refuses to articulate its message and degrades the general discourse into personal attacks, slander, and mean-spirited tactics, then expose the other side, despite whose listening, for who they are and what they’re doing!

  • http://www.800cart.com Ron Robinson

    ARIN simply reveals where the site is being hosted/where the DNS records point to/who operates the root DNS servers for the dom,ain name.

    To get the domain reg information you have to do a ‘whois’ search, such as at

    http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp

    or

    http://who.godaddy.com/whoischeck.aspx

    but doing a whois will only reveal the most recent, phony reg record (that pointed to the poor innocent bystander phone). In my post above, Motorheadache retreived a cached (old) reg record from one of many services that also maintain a cache of previous reg records. Apparently, when Jason Levin first registered the domain name, he used accurate contact info – only later did he change the record to phony contact info.

    Hope that helped =;-)

    You pulled a very ugly piece that was published in a major big city newspaper. If I had not seen it I would not believe a major publication published it. I posted it here that it may be seen. It’s scary as all get out. He will claim it’s satire, it’s not. …and you call me mobywhateverthatis.

    I posted the piece in order that everyone outside Phoenix may see what is going on there. It’s coming to a neighborhood near you.

    What service did you do by pulling, one may say hiding knowledge of there activity?

    I really do not understand why you chose to hide this information.

  • http://www.800cart.com Ron Robinson

    Those are the innocent folks whose number Jason Levin published in the latest domain rec and they have been victimized by his irresponsible publication of their number.

    My guess is that Jason just made up a number in the 215 area code and it just happened to map onto a real phone.

    Jason’s actual number is the 503 number in the cached record below.

    If I recall correctly some bees, instead of stinging an intruder in the hive will swarm the intruder and kill it with the warmth/smothering generated through them surrounding it in a ball.

    When an “infiltrator who thinks they are on a secret mission” is exposed for what they are how about smothering them with honest facts and so forth instead of stinging them with ridicule* etc? Perhaps sandblasting their fragile soupcracker minds with a good dose of reality from many sides at once will either overload them or give them a dose of a reality they are not used to… just a thought… This is also why the left is in more danger from their own followers than they currently are from the right side… when a fanatic flips (for whatever reason) it’s not a pretty thing the their former following…

    *granted ridicule might be fun but flipping a fanatic from beliefs held on to from flimsy lies might be more fun in the long run…

    May I humbly point out that this is yet another distraction, with the intent of drawing us away from the original reason for the “Tea Party”, which is that we are not happy with the government. Anything that deflects from that message is counterpurpose. Even making fun of the name, e.g., “teabagger”, is distracting from the reason for the movement.

    at a TPE Rally my org is hosting. The response from the left has been ugly, as expected. This AM the “Scott Brown snubs the TP” story is out, as if we elected him to come to rallies, not fight for us in DC. They will try anything.

    The irony is that we moved the location and none of their web sites indicates they know this. Is it a protest if no one is there to protest?

  • maggieblumenthal

    We need to RAM and SLAM these LYING RATS with the FACTS:

    Fact) 58% of Tea Partiers identify themselves as either African-American or Asian-American. How’s that for diversity you LYING FILTHY RAT!

    Fact) I have may, many gay friends and they all are in the Tea Party or want to join soon. Democrat? Hell no. Diverse Hell yes!

    Fact) The Repub/Tea Party party is the only sane choice in November. Looking at these remarks from Steele over the weekend it’s clear that the Repub/Tea Party is dead-center and laser sighted on eliminating those RATS from the hill. I know some of us have had our problems under Steele but as a Tea Party leader i think he really stands up for us.

    I have contacted our tea party organizers and they are well prepared to deal with this. (Cops, signs, the works)

    Also, the Crasher site author has been exposed for using fake addresses and phone numbers. Trouble is, that phone number he used in the WHOIS belonged to ‘someone’ who isn’t very happy and may file a complaint with the FCC! But the site is overrun with tea partiers so there isn’t much support for the crashing, whistling, bell ringers from the Coffee Party that have threatened to come disrupt the speakers.
