Open Thread: Liberals' Ingenious Plan to Sink the Tea Party

That's pretty much it. It's the new campaign from Erica Payne, who according to CBS is a "former Democratic National Committee official who has founded other organizations like the Democracy Alliance, a group of liberal donors whose partners have invested over $100 million in progressive organizations." Payne aims "to dismiss the Tea Party and promote the progressive cause" by...making t-shirts and mocking the movement through poorly-made videos.

In other words, it's the ultimate in astroturf. What does this new tactic mean for the Tea Party movement? Does it mean anything?
