 It seems to me that sending angets provocateurs to these rallies on a large scale is a strategic error on the part of the Democrat party.  They were doing just fine ginning up media reports of racial slurs and violence at Tea Party events. Whether they were true or not, they fit a media template for the Tea Party story and got widely reported.  By not-so-secretly sending people to create racist incidents, the Democrats have accomplished two things:1) Now, any racist signs seen at Tea Party events can be blamed on sabotage, regardless of who really holds them.  They've changed the dominant storyline from whether or not the Tea Partiers are racist fascists to the underhanded tactics being used against them by the Democrat party.2) Now everybody going to one of these events knows not to do stupid stuff like this.  It's now a fun game to avoid racist or homophobic statements, all part of beating the Democrats.Stupid, stupid, stupid.  What's the phrase?  "Evil will oft evil mars."
