Alinsky's Avenging Angels: Tea Party Saboteurs

The latest effort to smear Tea Partiers involves self-appointed agents provocateurs who are organizing a "Crash the Tea Party" campaign to discredit the April 15 Tax Day Tea Party by making up bogus racist signs and providing false portrayals of grassroots activists to the press. An online punk, Jason Levin, is spearheading the infiltration effort to "act on behalf of the Tea Party in ways which exaggerate their least appealing qualities" and "damage the public's opinion of them." Never mind that public opinion polls now show that the majority of Americans stand with the core principles of fiscal responsibility espoused by Tea Party activists.

Levin may be a lone wolf operator, but he has many fellow travelers in the Democratic establishment and left-wing fever swamps. And their efforts wouldn't be possible without friendlies in the press who have openly insulted Tea Party activists with endless vulgar sexual taunts and Taliban comparisons.

A few months ago, Craig Varoga -- a Washington-based Democratic political operative and overseer of a convoluted, money-shuffling web of political action committees -- launched "TheTeaPartyisOver.org" to target Republicans who supported the Tea Party movement. The site declared that it would prevent the "radical" and "dangerous" fiscal accountability agenda from "gaining legislative traction." Varoga's money funneling is designed to obscure the Big Labor/progressive funding of his enterprises under the umbrella of his "American Public Policy Center (APPC)."

After conservative blogs and Fox News exposed his deceptive web of grassroots groups, Varoga password-protected his website so that the Democratic plotting against Tea Party activists could be conducted out of view.

The rest is here. Get educated and get prepared.

Va. launches probe into business entity run by Salahis
Tareq Salahi is reportedly a member of the American Task Force on Palestine

The state of Virginia today began a formal investigation into the America's Polo Cup, the business entity run by Michaele and Tareq Salahi that the couple says raises funds for their charitable organization.

"The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) launched an investigation into the fund-raising practices of America's Polo Cup as they relate to the Virginia Solicitation of Contributions Law. Because this is an active investigation, VDACS cannot comment further on any of aspects of the investigation."

The America's Polo Cup, a gala held each spring since 2007, is billed by the Salahis as the "world's most prestigious and largest . . . charity polo event," in promotional materials. The couple tells sponsors that the posh event gives its proceeds to Journey for the Cure, a federally approved nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation.
