    ‘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…
