‘Pelosi: Tax Protest Is AstroTurf, Not Grass Roots’
(Roll Call) — Roll Call newspaper reports that House Democratic leaders on Wednesday “shrugged off” efforts to turn April 15 into a day of “nationwide ‘tea parties’ aimed at protesting tax hikes and wasteful spending.”
In an interview on FOX TV in San Francisco, “Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) chalked up the GOP grass-roots effort as ‘AstroTurf.’ … ‘This initiative is funded by the high end; we call it AstroTurf, it’s not really a grass-roots movement.”
The story goes on to report that one senior Democratic aide “has been circulating a document to the media that debunks the effort as one driven by corporate lobbyists and attended by neo-Nazis.”
The tea parties are “‘not really all about average citizens,’ the document continues, saying neo-Nazis, militias, secessionists and racists are attending them.”
Funny – I was at the Tax Day Tea Party in Denver, and didn’t observe a single Neo-Nazi, militia member, secessionist or racist. Maybe they were stealthily infiltrating the crowd while disguising their true identity and affiliation?
Oh, wait – that was the Leftists! My bad…
