TeaBirthers Hoping For "Riot" At Rep. Scott's Town Hall

By GottaLaff

So many who claim to be "patriots" and "real Americans" act like anything but. Via TPM:

Tea Baggers are hoping for a literal "riot" at an upcoming town hall event, in order to create a spectacle for CNBC's cameras. And the event will be hosted by a Democratic congressman who this week had a swastika painted on a sign outside his district office.

Yesterday, Tea Party Patriots national coordinator Jenny Beth Martin sent an email, obtained by TPMmuckraker, to a Tea Party google group. Martin told the group: "We have a media request for an event this week that will have lots of energy and lots of anger. This is for CNBC."

She then asked: "So, where are the big events this week and where can TPP best be represented on the news?"

Later that day, a Tea Bagger named Pat Wayman responded with a suggestion, also obtained by TPMmuckraker: "This one should be a riot! literally...." he wrote.

Wayman then posted information for an upcoming town hall meeting hosted by Rep. David Scott (D-GA).

Of course, CNBC would never consider such a preposterous proposition:

[...] [A]t least in Martin's telling, the pro-business CNBC was specifically looking for an event with "lots of energy and lots of anger." [...]

But it's even more interesting that the Tea Baggers were only to happy to try to provide that anger.

Feed the frenzy. Encourage extreme behavior. Anything for ratings and a few extra bucks, right? Way to go, corporate media.

This is how the TeaBirthers and their enablers want to "solve" America's problems: With violence, hostility, and stifling democracy. Remember that at the polls, America... if they don't shut you up, that is.
