BREAKING: Tea Party "Crashers" OUTED! YOUNG REPUBLICANS... Posing as Dems!!


from Penny Hollaway at not so fresh feelings

The nerve of that "Nationwide Network of Democrats"! Crashing the Tea Party!

BUT WAIT!

Direct your socialist-ey gaze to the URL in the image below. The part where it says Young Republicans. The Young Republicans! The YR's appear to have created a fake "Crash the TEA Party" Page and tried to pin it on the Democrats. This is the real, not-gay, not-pretending-to-be-Democrats page for Young* Republicans. Other things Young Republicans are famous for: electing a 40 year old facebook racist, Audra Shay, rather than an actual young person named Rachel Hoff, because somebody whispered that Hoff liked to touch privates with other ladies. *Which translates to "Not as old as the rest of them."



Those "Young" Republicans! After dropping Billy off at soccer practice, filling out Callie's FAFSA for her sophomore year at Bob Jones, and stopping at the Morally Biblical Pharmacy across town to fill the Premarin script, it looks like America's Young Republican Cougars loved Amarica enough to plop down at the AOL-machine and fashion a Troll Page to end all Troll Pages. Bravo!

But don't worry, because Penny Hollaway's got your back. I punked the page and took the Young Republicans for a ride. Look closely:

53. Then they are too smart for their own good
Edited on Thu Apr-22-10 03:24 PM by Autonomy
because the website is still going to work to republican advantage, even after they've been caught. ACORN tried to help a pimp bring children into this country illegally for the purpose of sexual slavery, even when it's been proven they didn't. Dems are just as likely to use violence for political ends, even when it's proven they don't. Dems are also trying to infiltrate the teabaggers, even when it's proven they aren't. All that matters to repubs (and the media) is accusation, not examination.

sadly wouldn't convince anyone who has determined already that the Dems did/do infiltrate Tea Parties, but good evidence for those with a brain.

18. I'm confused about what I'm looking at here...
Is that the young-republicans facebook page? I notice the 'date created' is April 8th 2010, but the date created on http://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Republican-Network/269093836936 is 2008... So I don't think it's that. So I don't think it's that. I'm probably just being slow here and missing the obvious, but I can't figure out what's going on. :)

19. UPDATE from author of post on Dkos, etc. NOT YR's, just a conservative troll group
Here is the new post:

BREAKING: Tea Party Crashers EXPOSED as Conservative Group


But who is behind it?

UPDATE:

An internet conservative group has been caught waging a dirty campaign to slander Democrats. (It's not the Young Republicans as earlier thought. My apologies to them, they can go back to their shuffleboard now.) This shadowy group of conservative trolls created a Facebook group entitled "Crash the Tea Party” and falsely attributed its creation and administration to a “a Nationwide Network of Democrats.”

Check out this screen grab I pulled on Friday, April 16 from the “Crash the Tea Party” Facebook group (see notsofreshfeelings.com for screengrabs):



As you can see, there is no mention of right-wing affiliation and a bald-faced lie about ”who we are.”

The administrators of the Facebook page have since removed the false affiliation, but continue to manage the group, tacitly acknowledging their involvement.

You can check their Facebook group here as it currently appears.

Can’t you just imagine the soliloquy that gave rise to this great idea:

“Those fascist Liberals! When they are not busy Hating the Troops™ by fussing about all that Halliburton nonsense and yellowcake uranium eggtimer props made from Wet n' Wild, they are Crashing on Real Americans' God-Given Right to protest the Tyranny of Free & Open Landslide Elections!”

So what’s with these two-faced Right Wingers?

Those Winguts! Looks like they loved Amarica enough to plop down at the AOL-machine and fashion a Troll Page to end all Troll Pages. Bravo!
The first page has since been scrubbed but a cached page is still available. This is entirely separate from that guy out in Oregon, who really did want to start a bag-off.

That's meta. Trolls, trolled.

25. Something is fishy. That's not the same URL as on Facebook -
Here's the URL for the FB Crash The Tea Party page. http://www.facebook.com/crashtheteaparty?ref=search&sid=680307641.4127437561..1

No Young Republicans in the URL. Numbers are all different. But it appears to be the same page as in your post, created same date. You can't just change URL's with FB, you'd have to start over with a new page under a new name to do that.

I think that Kos got the wool pulled over their eyes on this one.

37. They did make a mistake : however these are clearly right wingnuts
The page may not be attributable to YR, but it's not a democratic effort. I knew something seemed strange about the whole idea when I first heard of it: why would democrats pretend to be racists when the Tea Baggers (Baggers, baggers, baggers - they don't like that term now that they found out what it really means so that's the term I'm going to persist in sticking to them:) )
are doing such a good job on their own? The purported democrats' subversion would be merely lost in the sea of racist slogans.

On the other hand, the real democratic infiltrators with the really funny signs like "Generic Angry Slogan" send a real message.

Finally, you can tell when you are reading something by a right wingnut pretending to be a democrat, because they still won't use the adjective "democratic" in reference to the Democratic party.

This is the URL from the screen shot in the OP.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Young-Republican-Network/269093836936?ref=ts&|/crashtheparty?ref=ts

If you copy/paste the URL it goes to a different FB page.

Would they accept me as a tea-bagger knowing the fake Crash the Tea-baggers are really RepubliCONS?

Maybe we should really crash the tea-baggers since they seem so upset by this.

"Betsy, we're standing up because they want to silence our freedom of speech. And you're asking if we can call the police, to do the same to them?" I think he's going to be kicked out of the tea party movement if he keeps up that kind of hateful speech!

52. This Reminds Me Of Miami in November 2000
And before that, Donald Sergretti of Nixon's CREEP operation (that also included Watergate). May as well throw in the punk that tried to bug Sen. Landraeu's office. Going over the line into criminality is old hat for GOP operatives. Just look at the Florida GOP and the Amex scandal. It just seems like it is everywhere you turn.
