Tea Party Town Hall Strategy: "Rattle Them," "Stand Up And Shout"
http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/08/tea-party-town-hall-strategy-rattle-them-stand-up-and-shout.php

As Think Progress first reported, one tea-party friendly group has disseminated a strategy memo for other anti-reform and anti-government groups, outlining what they consider best-practices for protesters who plan to enter and disrupt town hall events hosted by members of Congress over the August recess--practices that, according to the memo, "could be useful to activists in just about any district where their Congressperson has supported the socialist agenda of the Democrat leadership in Washington."

The memo, authored by Robert MacGuffie, who runs the website rightprinciples.com, suggests that tea partiers should "pack the hall... spread out" to make their numbers seem more significant, and to "rock-the-boat early in the Rep's presentation...to yell out and challenge the Rep's statements early.... to rattle him, get him off his prepared script and agenda...stand up and shout and sit right back down."

MacGuffie is a volunteer for FreedomWorks, the industry funded group that helps organize and support the tea party protests.

Proving Bob MacGuffie has ties to Organzed Crime Conspirators

http://truthiest.blogspot.com/2009/08/proving-bob-macguffie-has-ties-to.html

OK Bob. You asked for it and now you get it. Your ties to Galen Institute are known, ties to Greg Scandlen are known, ties to Organized Crime Tea Party fronts for FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity are known. You asked for all the cards to be turned face up on the table, and now you are going to get it.

Bob MacGuffie has not denied he wrote and circulated the memo describing how to disrupt town halls. He has only denied that it can be proved whether he got paid for it. "If I am in the pay of, or even connected with FreedomWorks, or the pharmaceutical industry, or any other lobby, prove it," he said.

Man Behind Town Hall Memo to DNC: Prove It!

Bob MacGuffie, is the man behind the infamous "Rocking the Town Hall” memo that you’ve heard of unless you’ve been vacationing in a land without television, Internet or radio.

But, he claims, his group did not conspire with large corporations and lobbyists to create a national campaign to stifle the national health care debate and wants the DNC to prove otherwise.
