ACORN and other Left-Wing Groups to Disrupt Tea Parties

ACORN and other Left-Wing Groups to Disrupt Tea Parties: "Although this is what has come to be expected from the anti-first amendment Left, on 7 April Fox News’ Neil Cavuto reported that Barack Obama’s group ACORN, members and readers of the far Left blog “Huffington Post” and other left-wing groups plan to infiltrate and cause chaos at scheduled tax day citizen tea parties. The tea parties—based upon the original Boston Tea Party’s taxation without representation—have barely been mentioned by the apparent Obama Administration-controlled leftist press."

Good links and advice if attending a party. A fast but worthy read.
One quick note from me that has been found and to be passed along is

ACORN is “gate busting” Tea Parties nationwide. These far-left goons are attending them and mispresenting their allegiance. They are getting petitions signed, misrepresenting them as opposition to the Obama agenda. They explain something different than that written on the petition. More fraud, and lies from Obama Acorn people. Please be careful when signing your name to anything at these Tea Parties.

This is interesting, because whether it is true or not, part of the goal is achieved none the less. As a result of people having to be aware of the possibility of dirty tricks like this, doubt is cast on all efforts to gain signatures on anything. That is what the ACORN lives for. Sowing doubt in legitimate democratic processes.

One way to handle this is to make sure to politely ask anyone gathering signatures if they wouldn’t mind being photographed with the document they are asking people to sign. Anyone attending a tea party in pubic should expect to end up on camera at some point. Recording devices are ubiquitous so there is certainly no expectation to privacy.
