Varoga and Rakis keep a central mailing address in Washington, pulling in soft money contributions from unions
and other well-padded sources to engage in what amounts to a legal laundering system. The money ? tens of
millions of dollars ? gets circulated around to different states by the 527s, which pay for TV ads, Internet
campaigns and lobbyist salaries, all while keeping the hands of the unions clean ? for the most part.
・・・
The largest of these is the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME,) which has
kicked in a total of $9.9M in a single year to two funds that provide the cash for the non-grassroots movement.
Yes ? government workers’ money is being used to fend off Tea Party protesters.?
It seems that the Tea Party movement, once defamed and derided, now poses a threat to the liberal
establishment, so much so that they are collecting millions to undermine it. Conservatives shouldn’t object to
political speech ? which this is. But there is certainly grounds to object to the chicanery, the lack of
transparency, and the pretense that the opponents of the Tea Parties are themselves grassroots activists.
They aren’t ? this is Big Labor and assorted liberal-interest groups once again doing the bidding of the
Democratic party.
