SWIFT BOATER Rick Scott-Emails-Spread Sheets Of Town Halls To "TEA PARTY PATRIOTS"
Edited on Tue Aug-04-09 09:38 AM by kpete

(Brian Beutler) On Friday, July 24, a representative of Conservatives for Patients Rights--the anti-health care reform group run by Swift Boat message man Rick Scott--sent an email to a list serve (called the Tea Party Patriots Health Care Reform Committee) containing a spreadsheet that lists over one hundred congressional town halls from late July into September.

The email from CPR to tea baggers suggests that, though conservatives portray the tea bagger disruptions as symptoms of a populist rebellion roiling unprompted through key districts around the country, they have to a great extent been orchestrated by anti-health care reform groups financed by industry. (CPR did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)

That email predates by about a week a recent flurry of events at which Democratic members of Congress have been accosted and harassed by anti-health care reform tea party protesters. But beyond putting those spectacles, now receiving wide play on cable news, into a fresh light, it also provides a window into the tea party protesters' organizing infrastructure .

1. This worked, beginning with the shutdown of the recount in FL in 2000.

8. Thats interesting
because according to glen beck they have us surrounded and for every one evil panty waste liberal in this country there are literally thousands and thousands of patriotic flag waving christian conservatives just wanting to restore the constitution with COMMON SENSE like disrupting meetings and killing abortion doctors. Why just yesterday he talked to four lawyers who just couldn't believe what was happening to our country.

11. I'm so angry at this...
... that meeting them at the buses with baseball bats is beginning to sound like a good idea. Intimidate this, motherfuckers. No, I'm not really serious. I sure do wish there was a way, though, to cause the bus engines to fail 20 miles outside the meetings.

9. Why don't they just cancel the Town Hall meetings?
Send out a public announcement citing the battle plans and stated goals of the right wing PACs and simply say they are only interested in talking to people who are serious about America's future, not allowing brown shirt thugs an arena to practice their hate.

10. They should change meeting date/time. That should confuse
those operating from the list and lower the number of disruptors.
