GOP Busted: Paying for & Training Tea Party Activists In Guerilla Internet Tactics “Control the Online Dialogue.”

The footage was shot at the 2009 American Liberty Tour, run by a group of libertarian groups tied to real-estate mogul and Koch associate Howie Rich. The clip is taken from a section of the film showing how libertarian/free-market groups are recruiting tea party protestors into their cause.
Now if only activists on the left would stop spending all their time arguing with each other on e-mail listservs and in Facebook group comments and get the message about how to do this too, American democracy might have a chance to recover from the past 30 years of corporate and religious Republican dominance in the fight for the hearts and minds of the public.
We need to find a way to fight back or we will loose our democracy and we will have a corporate plutocracy!

I've seen these punks around and have had them kicked off forums before for trolling and trying to dominate the chat. They're pretty see through if you know what to look for, and internet trolling is nothing new. They usually run in packs, and show little interest to the underlining topic. They will list 2nd party sites, linked to the Heritage Foundation and Americans for Progress, and degrade anyone who disagrees with them. Hopefully shining light on GOP dirty tricks makes them scatter like the cockroaches they are.

The Koch Brother are super-rich global warming sceptcis. Which would all be fine, except for the names and fronts they seem to hide behind. The Koch's are a case study in faking it on a massive scale.
Offcuts from the script:
The Koch's are pro-free market, except when they benefit. Every year they take $123.6 million US dollars in subsidies from Hugo Chavez's socialist government.
Three weeks ago the Koch's were caught employing PR firm, New Media Strategies, to santise their Wikipedia entries and distance themselves from the Tea Party.

The Koch Brothers, billionaires who have generously funded conservative and libertarian causes for over a generation – including the Heritage Foundation, the Cato Institute, and tea party groups like Americans for Prosperity – put together an annual meeting, typically held in the California desert, with fellow corporate CEOs and conservative operatives, to plan the year ahead. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor and 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain were reputed to attend the gathering at the sprawling Rancho Las Palmas resort. The Kochs bought out the entire resort for Saturday and Sunday. Some activists who stayed at the resort Friday night and booked dinners at their restaurants on Saturday had their reservations canceled by the resort, and were given $150 each for their trouble.

Wait, so you're using American-published communist goals as evidence of actual communist goals? Being as America has always hated communists (going so far as to actually have a cold war with them) isn't that kind of counterintuitive evidence? Plus, it's kind of difficult to "use their tactics against them" when the original tactic is called evidence and logic - while the mimic tactic is called trolling. Just sayin' - I would also like to throw in the fact that the bible is not infallible evidence of anything other than that people have always needed a cop-out for learning/explaining things themselves...

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman's request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following "Current Communist Goals," which she identifies as an excerpt from "The Naked Communist," by Cleon Skousen:
(Marie’s Comment: This is what is behind what HAS Happened in America.; see #17, 18, 19 & #42 for what is happening in the Middle East with student protesters overthrowing governments.)24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."

Hey bible freak. You know that the concept of "God" didn't exist until Plato thought it up? Only, he called it "The Good." If you think I'm wrong, look it up. Facts don't lie :) The way you cherry pick the points you try to take from these "communist goals" shows just how weak the points you're trying to make are.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.I thought I would add a few more of the points you neglected....and since some of them sound just as batshit crazy as you, I'm not surprised you neglected them. You want me to let you in on a little secret, miss religious zealot? Religion has been one of the most effective ways to control the ignorant masses since before your Bible was written. The Old Testament was meant to scare people straight, and the New testament is a religious themed self help book. The Idea being to inspire people to be the best versions of themselves, for them to help each other, and most importantly for them to have faith. Unfortunately, the Church has been twisting this stuff around since it was written to better solidify their hold over the masses. Religion is the answer for lazy people.
I'm not saying God doesn't exist, mind you. I'm saying that to think we as human beings can comprehend the force which created the universe is a ridiculous idea. Personally, I don't think I'll ever understand At the end of the day, you're still not thinking for yourself. You're reading the bible and doing what it tells you. Actually, you sound more like you've been in a cult your entire life. Maybe the reason you want everything to be so simple is because you're clinging to a set of ideas that was developed thousands of years ago? You don't have the truth to give to people. You know nothing other than what a really old book told you.
Religion and Republicans have a lot in common. They both claim that only they have the answers and that the people who disagree with are wrong about everything. Doesn't that seem a little fishy to you? That a book would say "have faith in everything in this book" then go on to say, "Oh yeah, anyone who tells you otherwise is someone trying to lie to you, and you shouldn't trust them or anything they say." That's how they control minds in cults, miss zealot. "Everything I say is the one truth in the world!! Also, anyone who says otherwise is a liar and was taught by liars. Don't think for yourself, take the things I say and those are your beliefs! Don't formulate your own ideas!"
I didn't take the time to say all this because I wanted to mock or make fun of you. I'm not telling you to give up your faith or anything like that. You aren't a bad person, you've just had the wool pulled over your eyes the same way so many others have.

TRUTH for all sides. Find a candidate that can free us from our lifelong enslavement to employment... the slavery we call prosperity with government gobbling up our funds.
Raising the debt ceiling inl the past got us where we are. Doing it again shows no wisdom.
We need to reject a federal government leadership system. Our federal government was to be an overseer and protector of excess by states, not a collect taxes and see where you want to spend them.Each local community can invest in what they want in their community and take care of those around them without the added expense and government laws that make going forward difficult, costly and slow. Let us be a free nation as God intended. That will cut our deficits immediately without adding more.
THIS is the change we want.We do not need Medicare and Medicaid or Social Security. If we kept the money we made and used it wisely to build our house little by little as needed and planted fruit and nut trees, had a few chickens and a milk goat or cow, and a small garden we would have an abundance to share with others and a life of freedom with family together helping each other..
Very much of our Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security results from our women being out of the home where the young, sick and elderly would have someone watching over them. Each person would be useful in some way to help care or look after the young ones etc. With our women seeking jobs, it broke down the whole system.
God wants to deliver us from lifelong bondage to employment and guide us to a garden paradise lifestyle that He praises throughout all holy books. We have made life expensive and difficult, spread it around the world and are polluting ourselves to the verge of extinction.
Revelation 18 and elsewhere show God will bring down our economic system with or without our help.
Pray God President Obama seeks advice how to turn us to truth, or Pray God He show us a candidate that can back us out of our failed system and bring us into true freedom and independence with no sorrow added, as God promised to those who follow His ways. Ask forgiveness for our ignoring His ways; He can transform our lives easily and quickly. We are in the Valley of Decision NOW.

Man, I have very rarely read anything so ridiculous. I can't even decide where to start tearing it apart. Let's just start with the basic premise that your xtian god had anything at all to do with what this country was "intended" to be. On it's face that's just a typical Christian right-wing conservative view which has no basis in reality. The men who wrote our constitution were NOT christians. They specifically wrote the 2nd Amendment to separate church and state for this very reason. On a more insidious level it is exactly the kind of propaganda, lies and half-truths which you rail against.
My wife was particularly incensed by your reference to what women should be doing. She told me to tell you you can take your chikens and let them fly where the sun doesn't shine. (I paraphrase.. her comment was not printable).
I trust that this president has our best interests at heart. Otherwise I wouldn't have voted for him and I wouldn't be voting for him again in 2012.

Thanks for the time you spent responding. Separation of Church and state is not in our Constitution; if it were, it still would not mean ignoring God’s wisdom. I did not say I was a Christian. I am a follower of the word of God as written in the whole Bible; that is a big difference.
Our women can continue to be enslaved to employment most of their lives if that is their choice. They can leave their family and possessions several days a week, hurry home and try to put something of nourishment on the table, scurry to help the children with homework, and try to find time to hug the man she married because she loved him. God gives us choice.
Freedom is more precious than money and a shiny car.I cannot blame your wife, we have been deceived and trained to think we are too smart and sophisticated to handle a chicken or goat; so we got enslaved and plan and work hard so we can enslave our children.

Great video. Tea Partiers are still against eliminating taxes for big corporations to make a corportate advantage over individuals. Taxation without representation is condemned when the government uses taxes from people of God to fund abortion providers and give to corporations and big banks etc to continue to steal through interest payments making houses etc. expensive. For over half of a 30 year mortgage people are paying only a few dollars toward the cost of the house; most of it is gravy for the banks. God warned against debt, interest, insurance, seeking riches and honors and covetousness; yet that is all America is about now.
The Tea Party people are unorganized like the original Tea Party people; each one does his own thing to counter the lies our government spews. Our leaders were deceived and cannot help but deceive us. The Tea Party doesn't fully understand their impact; but if they keep God alive enough so others will read and see God's plan, this world will be transformed from enslavement for a lifetime to total freedom. Those who want to continue in enslavement can, but many will want freedom when it is lifted into view.

Most of us have been duped and enslaved to employment most of our life, even calling it prosperity when the easy lifestyle and true freedom and prosperity are found living off the land. It solves the world problems we created with the employment lifestyle.
We have to leave our family and possessions to earn money to pay our bills. We would not need that in a garden paradise lifestyle. It is the only sustainable lifestyle. Why do the United Nations, US government and unions reject it, especially when they are calling for climate change regulations and predicting extinction? Why would we reject it?
Most of our culture is against the word and warnings of God and now we feel trapped.

Unfortunately the right have always been more organized than the left. I think it has to do with religiosity, military doctrine, and tradition while liberals are what you call 'free thinkers'

The GOP game plan is to Keep It Simple and Short (although some might argue that last S is stupid). Their messaging fits into the Reader's Digest 25 words or less abridged version of everything: keep the salacious headlines, leave out facts; feed off of emotions predicated on fear and prejudice and ignorance, all negative human characteristics. The GOP does not want discourse, let alone INFORMED, FACTUAL discourse: engaging any of the higher cognitive skills required for same is a hindrance to their goals. Therein lies one of the many reasons for the horrific cuts to education, K-12 and beyond. A poorly educated electorate is easily manipulated and controlled.

I'm gasping for air - we know who's crap list she is going to be on:
Yglesias Award Nominee
"Obama has produced his birth certificate. There were announcements that ran in two contemporaneous Hawaiian newspapers at the time. The head of the Hawaiian medical records has announced, 'I have seen the long form you all want.' I don't know why the long form is considered more credible than the short form. They're both from the same office. The State Department accepts the short form or as we call it, the birth certificate," - Ann Coulter to Sean Hannity.
It says something, doesn't it, that Coulter is now the voice of reason in the GOP.
When did her light bulb in her head come on?

Sorry to have offended you with content. There are good reasons to consider Obama a Neocon wannabe.
On the other hand, too many folks here just take cheap shots at the comments rather than be responsive - call people names, accuse them of random BS instead of addressing the issues, and so on. It's a tactic along the lines of Bill O'Reilly.

From looking at bambuu's posts it looks like we're on the same page on the major points, but bambuu has got some sort of obsession with using scatological terms when in disagreement instead of identifying the disagreement and commenting on it.
It looks like bambuu's an Obama partisan who disagrees with interpretation that Obama's actions (as opposed to his campaign personna) are enabling of the Neocon agenda, but that's not certain because there's no content in bambuu's responses, only name-calling, which is what I hear on hate-talk radio/tv when I listen in. If bambuu disagrees with something, it'd be nice to know exactly what. The scatological references are completely unnecessary and the offense they generate will only weaken opposition to the right wing.

IF this were true, I think we would see some details. This does nothing. I do not understand what all the focus on the birth certificate is about, President Obama said his father was Barack Obama Sr., and not an American citizen. We cannot have foreigners impregnating American women and raising them with anti-American ideology. That is why our founders required "natural born citizens" with two American parents.
His Selective Service Registration appears to be manufactured in 2008 when Senator Obama needed to show it. In 1980 he would not have to sign up if he were a foreign student on a student visa. That would show he was not an American citizen in 1980 and not legally able to hold office. The evidence in easy court style is at

Most of what the United Nations and America press other nations as "Human Rights" are against the warnings of God. Women outside the home have destroyed civilization; there position at home is vitally important to family and community. Rights to obscenity and open homosexuality destroy our trust of each other and prevent families with two known parents enjoying what they created together. God commanded strictness to save us, not to harm us.
Newsweek magazine, December 22, 2003.
Iraqi Vice
Locals are calling it 'the bad side of freedom:' pills, porn, prostitution and booze are rampant now. And it's not only the radicals who blame America.Before the invasion, Iraq was one of the world's most tightly controlled societies. Only a few specially licensed stores could sell alcohol, and in recent years drinking was banned outright in restaurants and hotels. A committee in the Ministry of Culture kept a strict watch against even mildly naughty movies, magazines and films. Convicted prostitutes could be beheaded. Hard-core drug abuse was virtually unknown. Now Iraqis are making up for what they've missed—and many other Iraqis, young and old, are blaming America. "Some people say the spread of such things is designed to weaken our society," says Col. Daoud Selman, a police chief in one of Baghdad's roughest districts.

damn... passive censorship thru bullshit ratings and comments. That shit pisses me off. That's why I actually read review comments because that will tell you alot more about why a person rated one way or another, especially if they have never actually seen, read, or used a product and are just rating it for other reasons...

Thank you for posting the clip: this is the documentary I referred to: mind boggling. The above article is, as you stated, just the tip of the iceberg. Unbelievable!!!
I responded to a story on AOL.news and then started reading the comments: there were over 5000 in about 45 minutes: vitriolic, zenophobic dross. Anyone who wrote a logical, sane, or rational response had hundreds of down arrows. After scanning about two pages, I needed to take a shower--felt as though I had fallen into a sea of effluent.
I'll never go there again, so they'll just have to sing to their own choir.

When you post a link, Current tries to attach a picture to it from the link or near the link or wherever. Just always scroll the picture choice window to the far right where it says "No Image" then you just get the link posted with no picture.
