Folks that have read here for the long term know that I have extensively covered false flag ops and troll activities. So, when I see evidence of it, I try to cover it. Now, we’re starting to see the possibilty that Democrats are running “fake Tea Party” candidates to drain votes from Conservative candidates.
Fox has some coverage of the alleged plants from the Democrats.
In New Jersey, a “Tea Party” candidate surfaces but local activists haven’t heard of him. In Michigan, a Democratic operative appears closely tied to a slate of candidates running under the Tea Party banner. In Florida, conservative activists are locked in court over the right to use the Tea Party name.
The list of peculiar Tea Party happenings goes on and on.
As the midterm election nears, allegations are surfacing across the country that Democrats are exploiting conservatives’ faith in the Tea Party name by putting up bogus candidates in November — the claim is that those “Tea Party” candidates will split the GOP vote and clear the way for Democratic victories.
The Democrats have lost on the ideas. In fact, their ideas have been exposed to be complete frauds. All they have left, besides the race card, goons, and voter fraud; and fake candidates to split the GOP vote.
“It’s obvious it’s a Democratic play,” said Jason Gillman, a Tea Party activist from Traverse City, Mich.
Gillman, who also authors the blog “Michigan Taxes Too Much” and is running for county commissioner, caused a stir in Michigan politics in late July after he released documents he obtained from state elections officials about the so-called Michigan Tea Party. The documents, he said, showed that of the 23 candidates under the Tea Party name, at least nine of them had affidavits notarized by a local operative for the Oakland County Democratic Party. He said that was the “smoking gun” to prove Democratic involvement — on top of concerns he and other Tea Partiers had that the candidates on the ticket did not have Tea Party backgrounds.
“Nobody had any idea who these people were,” Gillman told FoxNews.com. “We could at least say, without question, it is the Democratic Party putting it on.”
We’ve seen this type of activity before. I’ve documented that the Democrats, or allied groups have tried to infiltrate the Tea Parties (on several occasions), disrupted on line activities, played the system on link submission and social networking sites, are organized to disrupt blogs and forums, used fake footage to smear the tea parties, posed as Conservatives on Forums and even CSPAN, and so on. Having fake candidates is just another wrinkle in the same overall strategy.
So folks, when looking at whom to vote for, look at the candidate carefully. If you are unsure of a “Tea Party Endorsement,” contact your local Tea Party organizers. They’ll have accurate information.

I believe that future generations should have the same opportunities that myself, and those that came before me, had. My parents taught me that I could do anything I wanted to do. I don’t want to have to tell my daughter, “You can do whatever the government tells you to do.” We are at a crossroads in this country; are we going to be free, or are we going to be slaves to the nanny state. I choose freedom.
The Tea Party is really getting under the skin of Democrats. They just couldn’t believe that this was a real movement at first, but now that they believe in it they have tried various ways to bring it down. From the fake racists Tea Partiers, to the Coffee Party they have failed to bring us down. Now they are trying to join us to bring us down from within but this will not work either. They have lost the argument, so this is what it has come down to for them.
They have a rude awakening come November!
They’re even more scared now. They know that folks within the Tea Parties are organized and supporting candidates, taking over the local GOP, and the like.
The more desperate they get, the more it backfires on them.
Saul Alinsky said that you do not change government by beating on the walls of congress. You put on a suit and tie, cut your hair and infiltrate their ranks and make the changes from the inside.
These tactics are not surprising. This should be front page news and everywhere this is happening the media blitz should be to warn the public to not VOTE for anyone with a (D) in front of their name.
This will force the Democrats to rethink their strategy because the local County treasurer would not want to lose their job because of the voter backlash over whats going on in National House races.
Fight fire with fire.
I would agree. I think that the obstacle for us is that we are the grownups, and many of us are working right now. We aren’t in the institutions, though. The long march through the institutions might be difficult for us to replicate. We actually like to produce something.

They really should call it something different…Laura Ingram said it should be called the American movement because it has become so large. As for the Dems trying to split the GOP vote this is an old dirty trick, but like you said Matt it’s really all they have. They have utterly lost on the issues as more and more people are rejecting their policies. We must continue to expose this activity, because the more people aware of it the better chance of it backfiring. Great post my friend.
Thanks John. They are trying the divide and conquer. Deep down, though, I think they know they’re going to lose. I think that this is a lot of scorched Earth. They know they can’t beat us, but they are going to make it as difficult as possible.
