A new group hopes to do for Tea Parties what Billionaires for Wealthcare did for opposition to healthcare reform — except they’re doing it wrong:

Opponents of the fiscally conservative tea party movement say they plan to infiltrate and dismantle the political group by trying to make its members appear to be racist, homophobic and moronic.

Jason Levin, creator of http://www.crashtheteaparty.org, said Monday the group has 65 leaders in major cities across the country who are trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15—tax filing day, when tea party groups across the country are planning to gather and protest high taxes.

“Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn’t an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, ‘That’s right, he’s an alien from outer space!'” Levin said.

It all sounds fun and clever — except we found this article on Drudge Junior’s site. Which means that now wingnuts will be able to claim that any idiot photographed or interviewed is really a plant. Thanks, guys. Teabaggers don’t need your help to appear racist, homophobic and moronic.

Crash the Tea Party

There’s big news in New York today, as “an online news outlet” dumps a stash of highly improper emails forwarded by Carl Paladino, the teabagger candidate for the GOP gubernatorial nomination.

Problem is, the server’s swamped. We can’t reach them.

So we’ll have to make do with TPM’s summary:

Palin at the podium … a teabagger started booing when she said “taking back government and make it work for the people” … bunch of big guys attached him and carried him out.  Now a second guy has been thrown out … Palin pivots and attacks the “lamestream media” for claiming there’s right-wing violence.  This is a festival of idiocy. [MSNBC]

Remember back when Bush’s tax cuts passed and all those liberals threw bricks through GOP pols’ windows? Remember all the armed Democrats that showed up outside of the president’s speeches? Remember that coffin that we left on Rick Santorum’s lawn?  Good times …

If this doesn’t get him a visit from the Feds, nothing will. “May I tell you my personal motive for doing this? I’m trying to save the lives of Nancy Pelosi, and every one of these people who do not understand the unintended consequences of their actions. […] We refuse to participate in the system, and we refuse to pay the fines, and we refuse arrest. Now where do you suppose that’s going but a thousand little Wacos.” [ThinkProgress]

Funny what a Teabagger challenge will make a GOP Senate candidate do: “Crist said that not only does he support Florida A.G. McCollum, but Crist also said he opposes the entire Democratic bill saying that it ‘raises rates, raises taxes, and significantly cuts Medicare.'” What’s next?  Fucking his “wife” in public to prove he’s not gay?
