Weirdest Story of the Day

Posted on | February 17, 2010 | 18 Comments

From Big Government:

Clintonistas are plotting a “push/pull” strategy. They plan to identify 7-8 national figures active in the tea party movement and engage in deep opposition research on them. If possible, they will identify one or two they can perhaps ‘turn’, either with money or threats, to create a mole in the movement. The others will be subjected to a full-on smear campaign.

Is this true? You hate to think that such stuff is so carefully coordinated. On the other hand, David Brock, Andrew Sullivan and Charles Johnson were “turned” easily enough, weren’t they?

    I was sorta surprised by this for a little while.

    Then I remembered just how sleazy Billy Jeff Clinton really is and my shock went right away. Bubba really was a turd.

    It will do them little good. Will these people be like Clinton or Barney Frank? Will they have friends like Obamao?

    Remember Filegate? 900 or so FBI files “improperly requested” by the Clinton White House 1996-ish. A Special Counsel eventually found “no evidence of criminal wrongdoing”, but left unanswered the question of how they got lost for a year or two and why they were eventually found outside Hillary’s WH bedroom. These files were known to be mostly Republicans, but names were never released. (I’ve always wondered if it was just a coincidence that McCain became a serious RINO during that time frame; IRR he led the charge against Gingrich’s Contract with America when it came up to the Senate after Newt got it through the House.)
    Bottom line– there’s history for this sort of thing.

    Punch back twice as hard! We can do it. Some deep opposition research of our own- right back at them is a start. Progressives get crazed when we employ their own strategies. WE SHOULD PLAY BY THEIR RULE BOOK all the way.

    Exactly.

    I think it’s because St. Barry has been such a socialist dipshit, I tend to think of Three-Dollar Bill as a slightly better president than he actually was.

    In reality, they’re both two enormous douchey statists. In Clinton’s case, he’s just better at hiding it than Obama.

    So, ‘Captain America’ plans to infiltrate the Tea Party Movement. Where have I heard this before? Hmmm…

    The Tea Party does best when it is not an acutal party, not part of the GOP, and remains a grass roots (not astroturfed) association of citizens who have had enough out of control government spending and want it to stop.

    The Tea Party’s role is to hold politicians accountable on these issues. Billy Clinton wants to see Obama go down so his wife can go up. So don’t expect any major turning anytime soon.

    This effort isn’t as futile or as dumb as we might think. At a time when the tea party movement is starting to show some growing pains, if they manage to create the impression that they have managed to “turn a mole” this could create a great deal of mistrust. It would be wise not to underestimate Carville he may be twice as dumb as he looks but he’s not half as dumb as he acts.
