This seems harmless. I am as much motivated to join the anti-tea party as I am motivated to join the team party.

As long as it is non-violent or does not violate someone's rights, more power to them if only for the entertainment value.

I do wonder if this link is actually from the tea party people as a way to rationalize any failures.

That occurred to me, as did the thought that perhaps the tea party is behind this for the purpose of generating anti-anti-tea party sentiments.

I support the tea party movement, and I've personally attended a few rallies and meetings. Most of the people at those gatherings struck me as legitimately concerned citizens who wanted their collective voices to be heard, but some of them seemed more extreme than that.

Even though I am, by my own admission, a radical libertarian, the idea that tea-partiers would commit such an insidious act troubles me. Some tea-partiers seem to think we're already at war, and in any war, the first casualty is truth.

There have been times when I have excercised poor judgement of facts when evidencing my own positions because I am not immune to bias, but willful sedition is wrong, no matter who is behind it.

Hahaha... oh god thats rich... so let me get this right...

Folks from the tea party create a "crash the tea party" complete with flashy web site so that they have a scapegoat for the odd few.

OMG thats hilarious

and I need the tin hat...

Heres a piece from Brietbart... yes I know you recoil in horror at the web site..

"They can't actually debate our message and that's their problem," said Bob MacGuffie, a Connecticut organizer for Right Principles, a tea party group that also has members in New York and New Jersey.
