Bob Owens at Big Government reported yesterday that the far left Think Progress blog was using liberal-manufactured signs from Crash the Tea Party as evidence of tea party racism.

Do you remember the abortive “Crash the Tea Party” movement? It was the brainchild of a liberal that explicitly called for progressives to commit fraud in order to attempt to discredit the Tea Party protests.

At Pajamas Media we covered the abortive effort extensively, and made note of the very real bigotry the Crashers unwittingly revealed… in themselves.

This morning, I came across this video from Think Progress:

…Think Progress stitches together a series of posters they claim belong to Tea Party protesters.

Really, Think Progress?

Did you not think we’d remember the amusing signs your fellow liberals created for their little abortive “Crash the Tea Party” stunt in Boston? Let’s just say that some were more amusing than others, and some just showed pathetic and angry progressives often are.

There is an old saying that you’re entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

Right Klik points out that basically every scene in the Think Progress video was manufactured. The liberal blog even included video footage from 2006 - before there even was a tea party!

So why would a leftist website put out such an obviously doctored video in order to smear the tea party movement?

The Center for American Progress(CAP) is a George Soros-funded initiative. It was founded by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta. Think Progress is one of the CAP’s blogs that “provides a forum that advances progressive ideas and policies.”

According to Discover the Networks, after Barack Obama was elected President in 2008, CAP served as perhaps the most influential organization advising the new administration. Among Obama’s leading advisers were John Podesta and at least ten additional CAP experts.

Last week the NAACP announced that they would pass a resolution that calls upon “all people of good will to repudiate the racism of the Tea Parties, and to stand in opposition to its drive to push our country back to the pre-civil rights era.” Two days later Think Progress released its fraudulent “racist” tea party video.

It makes you think that these radical leftist groups might be coordinating their attacks on the tea party patriots… possibly from the White House. Now, wouldn’t that be shocking?
No.

More… Nano added:

Both the NAACP and CAP are part of a new coalition of left side groups. Their new effort to replace the Coffee Party is called ‘One Nation’ and is a mash up of over 170 member groups that reads like a who’s who on the left.

The NAACP racist claim and now this effort are all part of the game plan this new group is going to bring forward.

Pure Alinsky tactics of trying to isolate and name call somebody into a defensive mode to give them a leg up to push their own agenda.

UPDATE: Bob Owens has more today on this completely bogus video at Pajamas Media.

  1. Caution!

    That Jackson Lee Vietnam speech was probably a trick to get conservatives to overreact and say regrettable things on blogs.

  2. No Joe. That’s pretty much standard fare from Ms. J.-Lee. And the saddest part about it is that one doesn’t even come close to some of her better zingers. She’s full of them.

  3. Both the NAACP and CAP are part of a new coalition of left side groups. Their new effort to replace the Coffee Party is called ‘One Nation’ and is a mash up of over 170 member groups that reads like a who’s who on the left.

    Pure Alinsky tactics of trying to isolate and name call somebody into a defensive mode to give them a leg up to push their own agenda.

  4. Get used to this, this is definitely a primary tactic for the coming elections, the strategy being to reduce the potential for conservative gains. It is going to be an organized attempt to portray a coherent message that the Tea Party is racist.

    It is clearly gearing up RIGHT NOW, as evidenced by the daily release of these videos and the ongoing parade of guests on the liberal talk shows. Unless there is a response campaign very soon this smear campaign will have at least some measure of success.

    One good grass-roots response campaign during the coming recess would be to question lib-dem candidates whether they agreed with this message, or if they would condemn it.

    Take it right to the candidates and make them repudiate it, or failing that, align them with the demagoguery.

    Don’t let this message stand apart from lib-dem candidates.

  5. And Chisum (#1).
    That is the most hilarious (and accurate) comparison to a liberal I’ve ever seen. Keep up the good work! P*ss ‘em off and leave ‘em a spittin!

  6. OK – as much as I LOVE the signs true Tea Partiers create and carry – I have an idea that will drive the left NUTS!

    Let’s all carry the most powerful sign – and no other – at all future rallies. Let’s carry the American flag – and nothing else.

    Then let’s hear the left’s true “love” for the country spew forth. As they’ll claim the American flag is really a racist symbol and other nonsense. The Left HATES the American flag – as demonstrated by 0bama himself.

  7. This was definitely a Reichstag Fire-type inside job, no doubt.

    College Joe: thanks for the heads up, but from here on out we need to call these people out for their idiocy no matter what their race. You are aware that we have an “African American” president now and his party controls both houses of Congress? This kid gloves routine is so 2008!

    Sheila Jackson Lee is an imbecile and should be cleaning toilets somewhere.

  8. The comparison of these libturds to the tactics of the Nazi Party in the 1930′s is inescapable.

  9. Regarding the Liberal Media’s attempt to slander the Tea Party into obscurity:

    Do not go gentle into that good night,
    Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
    Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
    And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
    Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
    Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

  10. The American Left – the Cockroach Cabal.

    Pure evil on display.

  11. Joltin’Joe Biden must have been involved in this scheme – lies and distortion are right up his alley.

  12. All I can do is laugh, the Left is TRYING to label the TPM as racist. What the idiots don’t realize is that the TPM is made up of America. In trying this tactic your trying to label America as racist. Nice try, Keep it up thought for your letting everyone know who the truly bigoted folks are. Keep on braying the whoopin is coming and is going to be severe. powder is dry.

  13. The stench surrounding this administration gets more foul with each passing day.

  14. That is the ONLY weapon that they have, they are desperate to hold onto power, but America is rising up. Keep on fighting to end the tyranny.

    Shoving the Stimulus bill through= Tyranny
    Open Borders= Tyranny
    Obamacare= Tyranny
    Dodd-Frank bill= Tyranny
    Cap&Trade= Tyranny
    Student Loan Takeover= Tyranny
    GM & Chrysler Takeover= Tyranny
    ect…ect…ect…

    Anonymous HR pro: “If in my role as the HR guy at their respective organizations I had presented the President for an executive position which required managing for any sort of productive, value added outcome I suspect I would have been told to clean out my office.

  21. If you hateful tea party people don’t like losing your freedom and handing over your money, you are RACISTS!

  22. How lame. The “I’m a racist” guy was exposed as a total fraud by local bloggers in STL as someone, with some other fraud, who has crashed local events in different offensive garb. I saw this guy at the one STL tea party event in Clayton, MO =in that outfit. He and his buddy were THE ONLY offensive people I encountered. They were positively bristling w hostility, trying to agitate. The organizers publicly called them out, asked them to leave and they eventually slinked off. Not only were they conspicuous due to their racist, offensive garb and hostile attitude, but they were the absolute anti-thesis of the pleasant, concerned, peaceful citizens assembled. Boo on them.

  25. Kevin P is right. Get the word out… nothing but American flags at all TP gatherings incl. 8/28. Then there is no question of who the true Patriots are.

  26. Nancy Pelosi — four years ago she told Far Left anti-win-the-Iraq-War protesters in San Francisco, “I’m a fan of disruptors.” Now she calls them ‘un-Americans’ typical democrat.

    Politicians no longer represent the people….they only represent their ideology.

    That’s why you should read that book out that’s about what’s happening now. Small town Americans stand up to this tyranny & ends up taking a stand. The same issues are there…high taxes, continual foreign wars, intrusion of our personal lives by govt. Hey, it happened before. It’s a must read for could happen & it could be our home town.

    I recommend it.

    You are so right! Our American flag is all we need!

    God Bless America

  29. The signs of “PLANT” and “FAKE” and everyone armed with a video camera are necessary. Don’t be naive. The tactic to put agitators into Tea Parties crashed when rival videos popped up showing that these people were confronted. The media couldn’t run ANYTHING without a barrage of raw video refuting their narrative editing.

    Remember the blatent Black 2nd Amendment dude at the Arizona rally fiasco? The media edited him off his gun and then passed his butchered image off as “White.” The unedited photos shut that down – no talk-talk worked, it was the PHOTOS and VIDEO that shut it up.

    Video camera, flags, “PLANT” sign. Teamwork.

    Remember, the Tea Party is made up of a lot of entrepreneurs and self-employed – people who must innovate to survive. Apply that innovation and agility to the protection of the movement. The Left is in full colluding mode, but hey, the Tea Party is made up of people who KNOW what the stakes are, don’t have to be PAID to do it and while the Left is maxing out, the Tea Party is snowballing.

  30. This is orchestrated by the white house to change the narative from outrageous spending to the straw man of racism.Unfortunatly it is working. They have gotten huge amounts of air time and put the tea party in the position of trying to do the impossible,prove a negative. Just a variation on the old “have you stopped beating your wife” theme.

  34. What is worse is the same group of corporate republicans who gave us Obama are gearing up to do it again by dividing right of center people. I refer to recent articles about Karl Rove’s fundraising group which includes Jeb Bush. The Bush-Rove group demonstrated contempt for the will of Americans over and over and has shown no sign they will change. Among other things, they made the border situation much worse, allowed the global warming scam to get a foothold, allowed the sub prime program that casually destroyed an entire generation of Americans, and gave Goldman Sachs whatever they needed to take down Americans. They never spoke up when words were desperately needed, and let us twist slowly in the wind.

  41. These creeps stop at nothing. OF COURSE it’s all coordinated from the WH and the dirty soros funded shill companies.
    Great reporting GWP.

  42. At the :10 mark is the white supremacist who someone chased around the Tea Party with a sign that he was an infiltrator. I remember seeing that one a few months ago. They ran him out.

  43. Did nobody but me notice that the organization using the name NAACP, is inherently racist in it’s very name?

    Who cares what they think racism is, THEY ARE THE RACISTS!

  44. What the Tea Party membership needs to do now, is to sue the NAACP for defamation per se. Bankrupt them.
