Is today's Tax Day Tea Party protest going to be crashed?

In this week's cover story, I wrote about the Philadelphia Tea Party.
If you're interested in seeing the group in person, head to LOVE Park today from noon to 2 p.m. — the members are throwing their second annual Tax Day protest there. Even more interestingly, perhaps, is that some local Tea Party members fear the Crash the Tea Party! group may infiltrate the protest.
Could make for quite the scene.
Disappointing to see Holly branding the Tea Party Patriots as a racist group. I assumed she'd do at least a cursory investigation into the bogus claims by the left surrounding the alleged racial slurs. It was a totally manufactured and untrue claim. Andrew Breitbart has offered $100K to anyone producing proof of these allegations. With hundereds of video cameras rolling, many by the staff members of the Congressional Black Caucus, not a single incident of a racial slur. Not one; and it was exactly what they were looking for. A manufactured event that didn't pan out for them. Sad when reality doesn't comport with the pre-conceived notions of the left. But hey, the New York Times printed it anyway so it must be true, right? After all, the NYT is the left wing Bible.
Yes. Clearly, John Lewis, civil rights hero, and the other members of the Congressional Black Caucus made it up. THOSE people can't be trusted, right? ~rolls eyes~ http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/3457385 WASHINGTON — Republican Party officials and Tea Party protest organizers Sunday condemned health care demonstrators who hurled racial and homophobic slurs at black and gay lawmakers Saturday at the Capitol.
