talkpoliticsJason Levin, the guy who came up with the "Crash the Tea Party" concept is now unemployed. The AP is reporting that he resigned before the Beaverton School District had a chance to keep him or fire him because of their investigation already in process. In April, he was put on administrative leave after school officials were contacted by various sources concerning the fact that Levin posted to the forums on CrashTheTeaParty.org (now defunct) during school hours (and may have also used school computers to do so). The state of Oregon Teacher Standards and Practice Commission is still considering their own investigation against him. [Source]
"Levin has said he would seek to embarrass Tea Partiers by attending their rallies dressed as Adolf Hitler, carrying signs bearing racist, sexist and anti-gay epithets and acting as offensively as possible -- anything short of throwing punches." [Source]
Just goes to show there is a right way and a wrong way to attempt to bring about political change.
