Hope this is a joke. But they seem to have this in his words. Here is what he was saying.
Here is what I am doing in Sacramento, where they are holding a 5:30 PM event this coming Tuesday: (1) I signed up as an organizer (2) with any luck they will contact me and I will have an “in” (3) in or not I will be there and am asking as many other people as can get there to come with, all of us in SEIU shirts (those who don’t have them we can possibly buy some from vendors likely to be there) (4) we are going to target the many TV cameras and reporters looking for comments from the members there (5) we will approach the cameras to make good pictures… signs under our shirts that say things like “screw the taxpayer!” and “you OWE me!” to be pulled out for the camera (timing is important because the signs will be taken away from us) (6) we will echo those slogans in angry sounding tones to the cameras and the reporters. (7) if I do get the ‘in’ I am going to do my darnedest to get podium access and take the mic to do that rant from there…with any luck and if I can manage the moments to build up to it, I can probably get a cheer out of the crowd for something extreme.

Sounds fishy but it seems like plenty of places are reporting this, even right-thinking.org.

Sad...
 
It's been happening for several months now, providing many supposed liberals at gatherings saying hateful things on youtube videos that seem all too convenient for the teabaggers.
 
If true, it's a stupid idea. Democracy is about an exchange of ideas and the best ideas win. People on the Left tried this tactic with the Tea Party last year and it backfired. I would expect the same thing to occur this time if it is tried.

Agreed.

There is plenty of room for disagreement and even shouting through honest disagreement. Infiltration is cowardly and will not result in legitimate or permanent shifts in policy.

Well, if a "Tea Party Leader" says so...
