'Crash the Tea Party' founder outwitted by foes


Jason Levin is crashtheteaparty.org 

RELATED STORY: Crash the Tea Party 

group threatens to infiltrate and destroy

The formerly anonymous creator of crashtheteaparty.org has been publicly outed just days before thousands of Tax Day Tea Party rallies will be taking place nationwide.

Jason Levin, a thirty-something techie from Portland, Oregon, was first outed by the conservative website FreeRepublic.com on Saturday, April 10th. A long time Free Republic blogger blew Levin's cover with a simple domain name "Who's Who" look up. It's obvious the self described "Star Trekkie/ Guido /Renaissance Man" probably didn't realize when he registered his website crashtheteaparty.org under the name Ben Franklin from Pennsylvania; a savvier computer tech would be able to find his true identity in just a few clicks.  

Besides photos, the FR blogger "icwhatudo" was able to reveal Levin's address, phone and email; work and education history; Twitter and Linkedin account; and even pulled this personal and slimy quote from Levin's MySpace page. 

"As a black lesbian trapped in the body of a straight white man, I am able to pass as a member of the establishment wile still maintaining my oneness with the spirit of the Earf Muvah. I’m currently being sued by my inner child for molestation...but trust me, the charges are baseless."

So now that Levin has no choice but to accept his position as the ultimate anti-tea party king, he has graced us with a public statement as reported by the Associated Press. Levin told the AP Monday, he "had over 65 leaders in major cities across the country trying to recruit members to infiltrate tea party events for April 15."

The mission of crashtheteaparty.org is simple. "Infiltrate and dismantle" the movement from the inside out.  The group's strategy is to impersonate tea party supporters and portray them as right-wing extremists in front of the news cameras in order to discredit the cause. The biggest Tax Day Tea Party takes place in Washington DC on April 15th

Levin went on to say "Every time we have someone on camera saying that Barack Obama isn't an American citizen, we want someone sitting next to him saying, 'That's right, he's an alien from outer space!'"  Levin also did not shy away his prior accusations that most tea party supporters are "racists, morons, and homophobes."

Not the first anti- tea party group,  Democratic activist Craig Varoga started the teapartyisover.org in January 2010.  According to conservative pundit Michelle Malkin, he created the site to target Republican's who support the the tea party movement.  Varoga's site is now password protected.

The Free Republic blogger also posted these 2 pictures of  Levin's possible 'tea party crasher' accomplices....could-be relative Josh Levin, and supposed friend named Kristen.

It's attack, smear, belittle, etc...I'm totally convinced these radical lefties were the outcasts in high school and they see this childish behavior as their way to get back at the world.

    The Dems DID win on their merits in 2008. Revisionist history much? If you want to see vile, ignorant, pathetic scum, you need not look any futher than the tea party itself. Full of misinformed, backwards, and often racist / xenophobic / homophobic mornon's who can do nothing more than scream hateful rhetoric. At least they do one good thing, they fracture the right wing voting block into a rather powerless entity.

    Im also GLAD I stopped reading this GOP trash paper that the examiner is. No wonder its free, because NO ONE in their right mind would pay for it except for Beck/Limbaugh/palin apologists.

    It seems "NoTEA4ME" and DemsFightinWords.com" are making quite the verbal scene for there to be no fire.!!!!!

    The Dems won in '08 but it was based on lies. Especially about their socialist agenda. And 47% DIDN'T vote for your misguided agenda. If you think that election gave you the right to yell in half the country's face and tell us to go 'F--- Ourselves' you got another thing coming

    If you look at the polls on Health Care, The Economy, and Obama's popularity you'll see it is FAR MORE than half of this country want him and you gone, outta office.

    It is the Democrats, the Progressivists who have been violent. They started this smear campaign long ago. You think if you yell it loud enough and long enough it will make it so.

    It's all bogus from the Taunts at the Dems in the Mall all the way to this attack on average Americans who are standing up for their rights.

    Power to the Tea Parties...vote in NOVEMBER..throw them OUT!!

    This Jason Levin character is a total moron! He publicly tells the world that he is out to unfairly slander, and harass, a new political party of diverse and concerned Americans for no apparent reason other than their opinions differ from his. His "tactics" not going to work, MSN, and "Organizing for American" have been slandering the Tea Party for months and the party keeps growing. Nobody is buying their lies.

    Jason is a hypocrite, he claims to abhor racism but lives in Portland OR---the "Whitest City" in America. It's always those like Jason who try the hardest are the most innately racist themselves.

    Americans know the Tea Party stands for small government and defending the Constitution. They don't care about his narcissistic, paranoid, terrorist group. In fact the party will keep growing despite idiots like this.

    NoTea4Me can't even spell "moron" correctly. What's a "mornon"? Maybe he was trying to spell "Mormon"? He calls the teapartiers "vile, ignorant pathetic scum, misinformed, backwards ...blah, blah blah" AND THEN ACCUSES THEM OF SCREAMING HATEFUL RHETORIC, which in itself is a lie. Keep running your mouth, bubba, it really helps the teapartiers' cause when silly people expose themselves for what they truly are. Like David Niven said at the Academy Awards when a streaker ran across the stage: "Some people will go a long way to show their shortcomings" Sounds applicable to NoTea4Me

    Jason, when was the last time you actually read The Constitution of the USofA all the way through? When was the last time you read The Federalist Papers? May I suggest you and your recruits do so before you all start your Saul Alinsky Campaign to disrupt the peaceful and civil T.E.A. Parties? You admit that the T.E.A. Party Rallies are orderly and polite or else your group would not consider infiltrating them just to act out and try to get Media attention for your group's bad behavior.

    Admit it Jason. Look in the mirror and admit it. You're angry. It's not the T.E.A. Party that you're angry with, is it? The T.E.A. Party is about people over government, freedom over slavery, individual rights over suppression of rights, life over death, pursuit of happiness over destruction of liberties, opportunities to achieve over bureaucracies designed to promote failure. You're angry because with true freedom comes personal responsibility and you want to blame others for your failure

    There's a Tea Party in Springfield, Ohio tomorrow (4-15) which I will be attending. I'll be there for two reasons: To meet more Tea Partiers and start networking for the restoration of our Republic, and to spot infiltrators, call them out, and assist in escorting them from the premises if necessary.

    I will be 100% peaceful in my behavior. Unless, of course, I'm put in a situation in which I must defend myself. Which I will. ;)

    The left won't be happy until everyone and anyone, who will not bend to their will or Ideals, are willing to start and a race riot or worse a civil war just like the Liberals in Europe. I really feel they won't be happy until all who didagree are rounded up and either retrained or be euthanized. Bill Ayers book states as many as 25 million Americans will die. He feels that many are un-trainable. It's the Liberals that are the racists.

    The Tea Party has been able to "deflect" the party crashers. They brought in a dozen 9 year old consultants to form a Poke-e-mon internet contest and swap meet on the 15th.

    When evaluating whether to attend the Pok-e-mon meet or Tea Party, all the "crashers" opted for Pok-e-mon. One potential "crasher" observed that he'd have to take a bath to attend the Tea Party, and that alone was enough to convince him to stay away. Another said that he wasn't removing his 6 nose rings for ANYONE, and that with the nose rings intact he'd stand out as an obvious a "crasher", even if he DID take a bath.
