Victory over the crashers

CrashtheTeaParty set up the pins. Conservative bloggers knocked them down. Tales of hardy tea party activists scaring interlopers out of their rallies are all over the Web today. Moe Lane declares victory, as does Michelle Malkin, who passes on photos and this update on the fate of CrashtheTeaParty founder Jason Levin:

A state board will investigate whether a Beaverton teacher was on his own time or using state resources while he organized liberals to crash Oregon tea parties.
On Thursday, Jason Levin was put on paid leave by the Beaverton School District.

I didn't think conservatives could locate a less fearsome bogeyman than ACORN, but then came Levin. Like "the Yes Men" with full frontal lobotomies.

I am not convinced that this Levin character is really a lefty who opposes the teabaggers.

What better way to take the heat off the teabaggers for their vile rhetoric and hateful imagery than to advance the narrative that their extreme expressions of anger are the work of saboteurs?

The fact that this guy has had nothing to say about his true motives makes him suspect. Even before the controversy related to his job, Levin was hiding out from the news media.

I would not be surprised at all if his little scheme is nothing more than wingnut redirection.
