Well had you paid much attention to what the focus of this was - an attempt to bring down the tea party - you would have noted that the person advocating such was in fact advocating exactly what is being discussed - infiltrating the gatherings, acting like an ass to present the group as extremist, etc - as well as "data mining" - trying to get people's names, addresses, SSN's etc.

To say its simply a "claim" when the reality is that it has been advocated publicly by tea party opposition - shows how naive you are. If its being shouted from the rooptops - its been spoken on in the alleys for some time.
Now - should both sides grow the heck up. Sure they should. None of us can hold our breath for that, unfortunately. Its also interesting to note that the call is for people to infiltrate and make them appear as something they are not - if they were "racists" or "extremists" - it wouldn't take people to infiltrate them now would it?
On the issue of Che shirts.... the issue is that they publicly show support for those who represent and favored a specific system - yet they also claim that "oh we are not for socialism, or communism, or violently repressing opposition, etc".... Thats called talking out of both sides of the mouth.....
