    Right Wingers plan infiltration of Madison protesters and they don't care who knows it. Pass it on

    By Ramona on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 8:51am | Politics

     Remember Mark Williams?  The same Mark Williams who was kicked out of the Tea Party Express (!) for writing a letter from the "colored people" to President Lincoln?  The same Mark Williams who called President Obama an "Indonesian Muslim turned welfare thug"?

    That same Mark Willliams is back, and, in true Mark Williams fighting form, he has a plan:  He's urging his peeps to pretend to join up with the SEIU in Madison and to pull out stupid signs when the time is right and, well, just be their natural selves so the public will think the union protesters are really, really stupid. 

    Here's Mark pretending this movement could be HUGE:

    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. . .
    . . .Chances are that because I am publishing this they’ll catch wind, but it is worth the chance if you take it upon yourself to act…there’s only one of me but there are millions of you and I know that you CAN do this!
    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.


    De facto truth.  Do they know their crowd, or what?  Tell them black is white, up is down, blue is red.  Tell them often enough and loud enough and pretty soon black is white, up is down, blue is red, and Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya whose mother somehow knew just days after his birth that he might be president of the United States some day and managed to get the newspaper to print a phony birth announcement and the county to file away a phony birth certificate.

    Here's my response to Mark Williams and his band of merry idiots:



     

    Chew on that for a while, you pathetic rejects, you dregs of humankind.  You lose.

    Great pix!!

    Yeah some repub prick was standing for MSNBC cameras with the protesters at his back claiming that HIS folks could not show up because they were hard working repubs. ha!!

    Cut state corporate taxes, then present a shortfall that you created and then blame it on the workers!!

    Great job.

    Then hire sociopaths to disrupt the protests while you consider sending in the troops.

    What are we supposed to call a revolution in Wisconsin? "Jasmine" sure as hell doesn't fit... and "Dairy Cow Revolution" doesn't have much pizazz... I am at a loss.

    Only the very deepest of the celler-dweller-dorito-eaters remembers Wizards and Warriors, a brief tv show... famous if only for one scene:

    About to go off on a quest, the squire suggests to the warrior that poison-sniffing badgers would come in handy.

    The reply:

    "Badgers?  Badgers? We don't need no sniffing badgers..."

    Per contra snarling badgers are required in Madison, asap.

    They are mean mofo's David!!

    hahaahahah

    Definitely the Badger Revolution--these are our kind of animal...

     

    from wikipedia:

    "Badgers have been known to become intoxicated with alcohol after eating rotting fruit."


    by jollyroger on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 5:56pm

    We Badgers have a tendency to skip the "rotting fruit" course, and go right for the alcohol. ;O)

    Na zdrowie!

    Soldarnosz!

    The funny part is that he had to shut down his comments last night.

    Now it kind of looks like someone has knocked the whole site offline.

    I hope you realize that Mark Williams said that as a play on what liberals have consistently done in the past, especially in the last 2 or 3 years.  There's a book out there, called Rules for Radicals, that outlines exactly that.  So really, don't act like he wants Tea Partiers to do that.  (Hint hint in the thing he wrote:  "Chances are that because I am publishing this they’ll catch wind..." Well duh. You liberals can be so dumb sometimes). I've been to a tea part rally, and everyone is very peaceful, has respectful signs, respectful chants, and cleans up after themselves and others.  Unlike the protesters that have trashed the Wisconsin State Capitol.  And real people who go to the tea parties would never do something like this anyways.

    Unlike the protesters that have trashed the Wisconsin State Capitol.

    How, exactly have they "trashed" the Capitol?  You do understand, don't you, that it's the people's building?

    There's a book out there, called Rules for Radicals, that outlines exactly that.

    That's very  interesting, since Alinsky never doubted that merely confronting his opposition with the *truth of their own failure to conform to the standards they articulate would bring them to their knees--you wouldn't care to cite your authority for this statement (not a quote from Beck, mind you, my chickenshit anonymous interlocutor, but from  Alinsky, with authoritative provenance.).

     

    .*4. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity."


    by jollyroger on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 7:15pm

    By the way, that's not even from a sympathetic source--the aggregation of quotes is thought to make Alinsky look bad...what a bunch of tools the site owners are!

    You know not what you talk about when you speak of "protestors who trash the Capitol."

    I have been there when the organizing committees have met. Included in this is a tremendous group of volunteers (mostly young students, by the way) who are assigned littler patrol and who use the rags and mops and buckets and brooms they bring with them to sweep and wash down the floor of the rotunda and the hallways and whatever else needs to be cleaned. Meanwhile, the litter patrol of the grounds is easy duty, mostly because the protestors quite rightly treat this site as a shrine to their democracy.

    The place has remained spit-shined and polished throughout this massive protest, now more than a week long. Someone's gotta' do it. Otherwise, the public employees in charge of the janitorial service at our Capitol would never feel comfortable taking a sick day so they could join the protest. ;O)

    I've been to a tea part rally

    Let me help you with that typo of yours:

    I've been to a tea fart rally

    Why, you are very welcome.

    I guess you missed this part:

    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.

    and this:

    (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. . .

    What a nice guy.  No thuggery there.
