[tuolumnejim]

Looks like a libtard wants to get a smackdown.   Oh when you look up the address on a WHOIS search the name "Ben Franklin" comes up but the losers real name is listed when you google his listed phone number.

Oh thats funny.

Think he might be a DU member?

Or is he far too "accomplished" to be a DUer?

His master plan seems to be to say something stooopid on TV, then run to DU and post about that stooopid stuff those racist teabaggers said. 

[NHSparky]

Wow.  So much stupid concentrated in one spot.

I wonder if that person knows that, like jim stated, a simple reverse lookup comes up with a name, address, age, etc?  That for $9.95, a public records lookup could be obtained, including tax records, criminal records, liens, etc?

I'll be nice and not give away the info--for now.

[TheSarge]

Wasn't their a DUmmie back during the summer that proposed just this course of action?

I'm thinking this is an offshoot of what it was proposing at yeh DUmp.

Perhaps frank remembers that particular bonfire.

[miskie]

Wow -- this idiot has done more to damage his movement then to enhance it -- If by chance there is a total dirtbag at a Tea Party rally, one can now point to that site as the source.

He should have kept it as a whisper campaign.

But he is a primitive, and they seem incapable of visualizing the results of their actions until they have already come to pass

[NHSparky]

Ooops.  Looks like he screwed himself over.  Even the Boston Globe can't keep this one under wraps.

Tea party is on guard for Hub stop

(excerpt)

Sarah Palin is slated to be in Boston Common Wednesday for the Tea Party Express “Just Vote Them Out!’’ tour — a cross-country rally that will end with a protest in Washington on tax day, April 15. This is the first time the tour is coming to Boston, home of the original tea party, and activists are expecting thousands of fired-up activists to attend.

But keep an eye out in the crowd: There may be some misfits afoot.

Conservative talk-show host Sean Hannity warned Friday about a rogue website that’s encouraging mischief-makers to crash tea party rallies. How will they infiltrate?

“Whenever possible, we will act on behalf of the tea party in ways which exaggerate their least-appealing qualities (misspelled protest signs, wild claims in TV interviews, etc.) to further distance them from mainstream America and damage the public’s opinion of them,’’ suggests the site, called crashtheteaparty.org.

The site says it is the project of a nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and independents who are sick of the tea party movement. But its creator, Jason Levin, says he is just a 36-year-old technology educator from Portland, Ore. He is thrilled that his idea went viral, thanks to Hannity.

The person who is behind this crazy site is Jason Levin, who is 36. More info on him:

How many people are going to show up to that idiot's house before he takes it down?

So Jason Levin is the total moron who put together the “Crash the Tea Party” web site. Levin is not your garden variety moron though. I mean it takes a pretty impressive level of idiocy to attempt to covertly infiltrate the biggest and most widely covered political movement in the country at the moment using a publicly available web site to provide details and solicit support for your plan. This idea is so completely idiotic that when I first heard about it I figured Levin would turn out to be an internet marketer and that this was really just a PR ploy. But alas, it seems he really is just stupid.



However, since Levin is now getting some media coverage for his little scheme – from the AP and TPM among others – I decided to dig around a bit and see if I could add anything interesting to the public record on Mr. Levin. (Not surprisingly, Free Republic was the first to expose Levin’s real identity and has dug up a lot of other useful information about him.)

What I managed to find is Levin’s personal blog on Blogger, which unfortunately (if not surprisingly) seems to have been recently blocked from public view. Equally regrettable, the site is also excluded from Google’s web caching feature so it is impossible to view any full pages on his site.

followed by his 10-point manifesto
However, by using the partial text results from this Google search, along with a Digg post, and some guesswork on key words, I’ve been able to uncover the gist of a blog post of Levin’s from May 2008 entitled “My Personal Political Manifesto”. It’s organized into ten statements of belief. Here are the partial segments I was able to uncover:

It is so convoluted and self-contradictory as to be absurd

Someone needs to be put on some medication it would appear

Kicking his ass would be a lot cheaper and have the same outcome.  

#8 is pretty good, though:

8. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions! If you break it, buy it. If you spill hot coffee in your lap, don’t sue McDonalds. Learn that coffee = hot and move on! Thus “Loser Pays” [court costs] lawsuits should be the rule, as only those with a righteous beef will bring suit…

#8 is pretty good, though:

too bad he doesn't mean it. Somehow taking care of yourself means government schools and government healthcare and who knows what else.

Sadly, it only goes as far as his job right now:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/04/15/oregon-probes-teacher-determined-demolish-tea-party/

A middle school teacher in Oregon who announced his intention "to dismantle and demolish the Tea Party" on his "Crash the Tea Party" Web site is under investigation by his state's Teacher Standards & Practices Commission.

The investigation by Oregon's teacher licensing agency comes in response to a public outcry over Jason Levin's public statements that he'll do anything short of throwing rocks to bring down the Tea Party.

...

His school district is defending his right to free speech, but it's investigating whether he used district computers to spread his political message or worked on his Web site during school hours.

[The Village Idiot]

If he used any school resources to do his organizing thang then he should be fired.

Those resources are for exploiting and abusing our kids.

Levin, the media teacher at Conestoga Middle School in Beaverton, is the leader of a group that says it wants to infiltrate and bring down the loosely organized anti-big-government Tea Party movement.

The chances of them actually doing something to this guy are zero.

Anyone wanna bet his site stuff is actually on the school system's server?

I could only hope that he was also posting his crap while he was on the clock.

That would be wonderful, the ban hammer that fires. 

[littlelamb]

I doubt they are going to do anything to him

Teacher of the year perhaps.

Not that it'll matter.  He'll probably get a suspension with pay for a few days at most, then be fast-tracked to an administrative position.

**** up, move up.
