Aggressive Infiltrator

[americanfamilynow]

@kglenn86 the tea party movement started with the alex jones truther people several years ago. glenn beck had a great deal to do with incorporating a small movement into a "disgruntled republican" thing. the truther movement is very constitutional and libertarian, not what you hear from talk show guys.

this was overkill, you guys can't confront someone because of something like this... you say you're pro constitution, he has a right to be there, and big deal if he's a (or posing as a) conspiracy theorist, conspiracy is what has founded this nation, and unfortunately, conspiracy seems to be what is ruining this country more and more every day.

@evilloren - The big deal is these people come in with the intent to crash a peaceful demonstration and they pose as sympathizers and then say radically racist things when the media concentrates on them. They do not represent the movement and they do not agree with the movement, but they use subterfuge and underhanded tactics in order to undermine an intelligent message instead of offering an intelligent debate for why they disagree.

He didn't seem to be doing any of that, like I said it appears that he was part of Alex Jones' group. They may be a little "fringe" but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think Levin did exactly what he set out to do with his "crash the tea party" group. It doesn't take a third grader to see that instead of concentrating on getting our message out we're going after each other & others, looking for these "infiltrators".

Maybe keep an eye out for someone who's actually doing harm, next time?

@moonschilde I was working security and I think they handled it right. I wasn't waiting for him to do something bad, disrupting a peaceful rally is his intent and they stopped it. So what?

[moonschilde]

I'm only saying something because I've seen a few videos from the Tea Parties boasting "infiltrators" when it doesn't appear that the "infiltrators" were saying, doing or wearing anything that seemed remotely "bad". I think some people went too far when *trying* to weed out "infiltrators". Something should only be done when people get too rowdy, are shouting obscenities, holding up signs in order to antagonize others, and MAYBE dressing in a way to do any of the above. IMHO.

I don't see how this guy is an infiltrator, looks like he's part of Alex Jones' group. I also don't understand why it was such a big deal that he was wearing a wig. Did he get violent before or after people started harassing him and pulling his wig?
