A new Web site targeting the tea parties is a part of a complex network of money flowing from the mountainous coffers of the country's biggest labor unions and trickling slowly into political slush funds for Democratic activists.
A seemingly grassroots organization that's mounted an online campaign to counter the tea party movement is actually the front end of an elaborate scheme that funnels funds -- including sizable labor union contributions -- through the offices of a prominent Democratic party lawyer.http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/09/anti-tea-party-web-site-scheme-funnel-funds/I love a solid twofer! I get to point to a real world example of why campaign finance laws do not work as this is a perfectly legal workaround and I get to point out a real world example of activists/politicians accusing their opponents of engaging in the very astroturfing that they themselves are actually doing. It's called projection.
