Bagger's Plans To Infiltrate: "Our goal is to make the gathering look greedy and goonish"
Edited on Sun Feb-20-11 11:02 PM by kpete
Please inform as many people as you can about the following. The "Patriot Action Network" is planning to infiltrate union rallies across the country (and really hope Kos sees this.)

http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/forum/topics/get-ready-seius-purple-army
The following comes directly from http://www.patriotactionnetwork.com/...



Here is what baggers are telling other baggers to do:

Our goal is to make the gathering look as greedy and goonish as we know that it is, ding their credibility with the media and exploit the lazy reporters who just want dramatic shots and outrageous quotes for headlines. Even if it becomes known that we are plants the quotes and pictures will linger as defacto truth.

Here is what I am doing in Sacramento, where they are holding a 5:30 PM event this coming Tuesday: (1) I signed up as an organizer (2) with any luck they will contact me and I will have an “in” (3) in or not I will be there and am asking as many other people as can get there to come with, all of us in SEIU shirts (those who don’t have them we can possibly buy some from vendors likely to be there) (4) we are going to target the many TV cameras and reporters looking for comments from the members there (5) we will approach the cameras to make good pictures… signs under our shirts that say things like “screw the taxpayer!” and “you OWE me!” to be pulled out for the camera (timing is important because the signs will be taken away from us) (6) we will echo those slogans in angry sounding tones to the cameras and the reporters. (7) if I do get the ‘in’ I am going to do my darnedest to get podium access and take the mic to do that rant from there…with any luck and if I can manage the moments to build up to it, I can probably get a cheer out of the crowd for something extreme.

Our goal is to make the gathering look as greedy and goonish as we know that it is, ding their credibility with the media and exploit the lazy reporters who just want dramatic shots and outrageous quotes for headlines. Even if it becomes known that we are plants the quotes and pictures will linger as defacto truth.

34. thats the way I read it -- They can make any crowd seem "greedy and goonish"

Wow. how greedy and goonish do you have to look to be able to raise the average for the whole crowd ??

(But hey, it worked for Phil Pharlock.)

It's got their DNA all over it.

4. Sounds like they heard from James Baker.




Infiltration worked pretty good for him during the Y2K Florida recount.

5. Kochheads. Not baggers.
They can pretend they're an independent grass roots movement, but let's tell it like is: They are bastards for billionaires.

6. David Shuster (and Keith O) have been tweeting on the WI protests
I'd suggest these messages that reveal RW counter-tactics be tweeted or emailed to them as well as Ed Schultz. I'm not on twitter myself.

Just my thoughts. I think it important to get it to those that are still linked into MSM to document the "pre-meditation" of what is going on.

8. That should be sent to the media, who always fall their
tactics and give them credibility even without them trying.

How do we send it to media outlets? Major ones like CNN etc. are easy, but all the local media will be there also, I'm sure.

What scumbags, they simply cannot win fairly. This kind of thing should be illegal when it affects people's lives. Either you fight fairly, I mean we have rules for every sport don't we, or you might get yourself arrested if you are an imposter.

Should be sent to the unions also so they can demand ID etc.

10. By needing to "attempt to make them look greedy
and goonish" that means they are not and do not look greedy and goonish. An out and out attempt to make the protesters look like something that they are not.

13. They'd know all about greedy and goonish, I suppose.
And it won't work--people are already on the side of the protestors and nothing a few teabagger fuckheads do will change that.

16. What a bunch of LYING, SHAMELESS WEASELS!!!
Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 12:01 AM by CoffeeCat
These people have no problem making signs that do not reflect
the gracious and compassionate spirit of these protests. They have
no problem presenting a lie-based and false personna of these protestors--just
to do damage. And they know that the damage is a LIE--but they don't care.

They can't win on their ideas alone. They have nothing positive, intelligent
or clever to say. All they have is their bizarre lies and fraternity-boy antics.

These people are such schmucks. The lowest, little weasels EVER. The fact
that they have to lie and create false drama--just demonstrates that the protestors
are doing a fine job and they're a class act.

These weasels have to manufacture LIES to ever hope to have an effect.

These people really need to grow up.

25. Oh the goons and the ginks and the company finks.
Woody nailed these worms years ago.

http://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/Union_Maid.htm

Some lines:

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.

This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys.

These folks rarely make it into the awareness of Baby Huey Americana. Even co-workers deride them (us) wwwwwwwwwwwhen people like this maid stand up for their rights. It's hard when people are scared and on the edge.

Save my money, is all I can say.

I can't come up with a word to describe how loathsome, dishonest, ...

OK, I'm at a loss.

And I'm sad and outraged at the same time.

I hope this dirty rotten plan gets exposed in the media big time.

Yeah, fat chance.

See, I'm cynical too.

Just ranting, sorry.

Being a former Union Shop Steward, I would not want to be in these people's shoes when they got caught doing what they are doing.
