Governor Palin Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People"

Sarah Palin was arguably the most influential person in 2008, but no one notices because she wasn't influential enough to overcome the deficits of her running mate and win the election. Until Palin, 45, burst onto the scene, Obama was headed for a Nixon/McGovern landslide. Palin may not have changed the election result, but she killed what otherwise would have been a rout. John McCain was so preposterous a candidate (at least on a Republican ticket) that Palin was responsible for far more votes than the usual vice-presidential candidate. The biggest red flag proving her popularity with normal Americans is that liberals won't shut up about her. Palin is a threat to liberals because she believes in God and country and family — all values liberals pretend to believe in but secretly detest. There's a reason there's no "Stop Olympia Snowe before it's too late!" movement. [Continue reading]

The Jevons Paradox: An Inconvenient Truth ~ By Jeff Jacoby

How swine flu could be a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear warfare ~ By Michael Hanlon

By Michael Hanlon When a new animal virus emerges in some crowded corner of the Third World and the experts start talking gravely about pandemics, the inevitable question is: How much should we worry? Well, it probably isn't time, quite yet, to be heading for the hills but the emergence of a new and deadly strain of swine flu in Mexico is a matter of serious concern. If we are lucky, we will see something like a rerun of the SARS or bird flu scares seen earlier this decade - scary but containable outbreaks of disease which have (so far) killed a few dozen to a few hundred people. But if we are really unlucky, and experts stress that so far this is looking unlikely, we could be witnessing the beginning of a global catastrophe that could kill tens or even hundreds of millions. For it remains the fact that in a world awash with new and exotic fears, from computer bugs to terrorist dirty bombs, old-fashioned infectious disease - particularly the numerous influenzas which infect humans, pigs and birds - probably still has the greatest capacity to kill the most people in the shortest time.

100 days in office, Obama coronated Messiah ~ By Drew Zahn

"The Truth" by Michael D'Antuono

By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily On his 100th day in office, President Obama will be "crowned" in messianic imagery at New York City's Union Square. Artist Michael D'Antuono's painting "The Truth" – featuring Obama with his arms outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns upon his head – will be unveiled on April 29 at the Square's South Plaza. According to a statement released about the portrait, "The 30" x 54" acrylic painting on canvas depicts President Obama appearing much like Jesus Christ on the Cross: atop his head, a crown of thorns; behind him, the dark veil being lifted (or lowered) on the Presidential Seal. But is he revealing or concealing, and is he being crucified or glorified?" Even the title of the piece, "The Truth," suggests a play on biblical themes, as Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

One Lone Ranger Rides Again To Legalize Dope ~ By Mary Ann Akers

By Mary Ann Akers

Click here to see the video

Howard Wooldridge has one of the craziest jobs: trying to convince 535 of the most uptight people in Washington - the entire membership of Congress - to legalize drugs. That means everything from marijuana to cocaine to heroin. The idea isn't quite as far-fetched as you may think. The more money the United States spends on fighting a drug war that has spiraled out of control in Mexico, the more interest Congress seems to be taking in talk of decriminalization. "For the first time since I've been here, the "L" word, legalization, has been used in subcommittee hearings as a solution to the violence and Mexican cartels," says Wooldridge, a cowboy and retired police detective who three years ago became the lobbyist for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, known as LEAP. A handful of lawmakers have endorsed legalization of marijuana, including Reps. Loretta Sanchez (D-Calif.), Jim McDermott (D-Wash.), Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) and Ron Paul (R-Texas).

Will tea parties 'throw bums out' in 2010? ~ By Drew Zahn

By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily Crowds have long protested Congress with rally cries of "Throw the bums out," and if recent polls tabulating tea party furor over government spending translate to votes in 2010, angry Americans may make good on their mantra. Polls released by Rasmussen Reports this week demonstrate that – at least within the Republican Party – sitting incumbents who vote for increased government, taxes and federal bailouts risk voter backlash in the next election. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., for example, is one of only three Republicans in Congress to vote for President Obama's $787 billion stimulus plan. According to a Rasmussen poll released this morning, the 28-year senator now trails his 2004 GOP primary rival Pat Toomey in the polls by 21 points: 51 percent of Pennsylvania Republicans say they'd vote for Toomey in a 2010 primary, while just 30 percent would support Specter. A separate Rasmussen poll demonstrated that 58 percent of Specter's Republican constituents cited his support of the stimulus package as reason for their waning support. When asked in December about a possible challenger in the 2010 election, Specter told CNN's "Late Edition," "I never look over my shoulder, never look behind. Somebody may be gaining on me. I run with blinders. I'll be prepared, whoever my opponents are." If Specter continues to vote in favor of increased government spending, however, his most troubling opponents in 2010 may not be from the Republican or the Democratic Party, but from the "tea" parties.

A Nation of Helpless Idiots ~ by Karen De Coster

As I was perusing through the diggosphere (that's the digg.com community, folks) last night, I came across this article. The description, as written by digg user populist, grabbed my immediate attention!

The tyranny of the masses is, and has been, a significant apparatus for serving the government in its crusade toward a totalitarian agenda. As long as the majority of the people are so passive as to welcome the government’s false sense of security, it will have an audience to which it can market its duplicitous spin.

Of course, I immediately brought up the story on to one of my open browser pages, and read an incredible story. Now check this out, this is from the article:

The Metropolitan Emergency Managers Committee is kind enough to include a video version of “Identifying Terrorists for Dummies.” In the video, actors play out the seven signs so you can learn what a terrorist looks like. Accordingly, “anything out of the ordinary” is deemed a “possible terrorist plot or threat,” and it is stressed that such abnormal behavior must be seriously assessed and investigated. At 3:55 of the propaganda production, a jogger runs by a man on a park bench writing in his notepad. I looked for signs of grenades, big ole bombs ‘neath the bench, or an assemblage of scary-looking darkies [emphasis mine, you'll see why later] toting box cutters in the background, but no such thing is apparent. However, since spending time alone to write in a notepad outdoors is a highly suspicious, deviant, and subversive activity, the jogger, disturbed by the sinister notebook, stops to pull out her cell phone and call the police. She’s being a good girl, executing the kind of response the chief fearmongers desire from a model citizen. This stuff is like chicken soup for the loyalist soul. We’re all Soviet snitches now.

Now, you need to see the video that Karen included in this very intriguing column:

There is so much more to read in this great column, I'll just let you read the rest of it for yourself. However, I should warn you: There may be people that will report YOU for reading this column. You may want to get yourself to an internet cafe or the public library, or if you really feel like being mean, a friend's house, because you won't want to be tracked and identified. There is no doubt that you may raise flags by reading this column. Oh, you know, like the fact that this column would obviously be a right-wing extremist's attempt to recruit you. Yeah, I am sure you caught that, too, (I helped by emphasizing it above, the part where the writer mentions "darkies"). Man, I should be calling the police, or maybe even the FBI or Homeland Security! And if you thought the IRS was heartless, you haven't seen nothin' yet. Are you getting the idea yet?

Sean Penn: Shut up and act ~ Melanie Morgan

By Melanie Morgan © 2009 Today, I want to apologize for my fellow Marin County resident, Sean Penn. He appears to be off his meds (or on too many) and went on a rant that is common among too many pompous millionaire actors who confuse their vast sums of money with their ability for critical thinking. I hate to bring any serious attention to Penn, who is famous and wealthy because he is good at acting like a stoner ("Fast Times at Ridgemont High"), a thug ("Bad Boys") and a drug dealer ("The Falcon and the Snowman"). Given his much-publicized penchant for violence, I wonder how much "acting" he really does when he plays these parts. But Penn's rant needs attention because others who confuse celebrity with intellect might believe his socialist/commie rubbish. Sean penned his latest blather, pretending to be a serious commentator, this week.

According to a statement from Medistem Inc., which previously reported a medical advance that would make the use of embryonic stem cells unnecessary, three patients treated with the new fat procedures "showed dramatic improvement in their condition."

Miss California gets backing of lawmaker ... from Alabama ~ By Chelsea Schilling

While many in Hollywood ridicule her, scores of Americans are now applauding Miss California's stance against same-sex marriage – including one Alabama lawmaker who drafted a resolution supporting her. At Sunday night's Miss USA pageant, Carrie Prejean was asked the one question she dreaded most, and her answer brought her both scorn and praise. From the article:

But while many Hollywood actresses stand by Hilton and condemn the beauty queen for her beliefs, one lawmaker is has drafted a resolution in support of the courageous contestant. State Rep. Jay Love, R-Montgomery, told the Montgomery Advertiser that there are those "telling people what they can believe and what they can say," which he believes is wrong. He said Prejean is being ridiculed and punished for refusing to support a lifestyle that goes against her beliefs. "I don't believe that's right," Love said. He said he applauds her for not compromising her beliefs by giving a politically correct answer. The bill was introduced Tuesday and every member of the House Republican Caucus and some Democrats have signed on as co-sponsors. However, State Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, said the resolution cannot pass because he claims Miss California is associated with right-wing organizations and supports discrimination.

Court: 2nd Amendment trumps local gun limits

Described as 'protection against government degenerating into tyranny' By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California has ruled that the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms is "deeply rooted in this nation's history and tradition" and long has been regarded as the "true palladium of liberty," so it therefore must be applied against state and local government weapon restrictions as well as federal gun limits. The ruling came in a decade-old dispute over a private operation's request to hold a gun show at a county fairground, even though the county prohibited gun possession at its facilities. The new ruling from the usually liberal 9th Circuit said Alameda County in California was allowed to ban guns at its facilities, but in general the 2nd Amendment provision for Americans to keep and bear arms applies not to just federal gun limits but local rules as well. "This could be big, folks," wrote Kurt Hofmann at the St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. "In Nordyke v. King … we may very well be seeing the beginning of the end of that very unsatisfactory set of circumstances, wherein state and local governments need not so much as pay lip service to the 2nd Amendment," he continued.

Napolitano: The new Janet Reno ~ By Eric Rush

By Erik Rush © 2009 Some people don't seem to be getting what they expected in President Obama and the new administration. A week prior to the anti-spending tea parties (as opposed to anti-government or anti-Obama, as characterized in the press) that took place on April 15, Janet Napolitano's Department of Homeland Security released a report addressing (among other things, as it turned out) the involvement of "right-wing extremists." No doubt this was a pre-emptive move made in concert with the press and intended to sour the taste of the tea parties on America's palate prior to their even occurring. These dangerous people were said (by the DHS) to include pro-life advocates, proponents of immigration law enforcement and military veterans, among others. Napolitano, an apparent incarnation of Bill Clinton's Attorney General Janet "Waco" Reno, somehow couldn't keep her foot out of her mouth on this subject. There was, of course, lots of talk at the tea parties regarding the DHS report and Napolitano's comments on it. This seems to have – at least initially – added fuel to the "far-right boogeyman" fire.

The information comes from an FBI agent who leaked the information to The Canada Free Press. “Listen to what I am saying,” the agent said during an interview with Doug Hagmann, founder (NEIN). “The Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment that is receiving so much attention is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and the true patriotic citizens of this country are on the Titanic. This is what bothers me. But is goes far beyond that assessment. There have been very significant changes made over the last few years that redirect the focus and assets of the intelligence community internally.

By Natasha Mozgovaya, Haaretz Correspondent and Haaretz Service An American professor has become the first Jew to win the King Faisal International Prize in Medicine, popularly known as the "Arab Nobel Prize." Stanford professor Ronald Levy, who heads the university's Oncology department, told Haaretz that as an American Jew married to an Israeli it never crossed his mind that he might win the Saudi-financed competition. "I didn't think there was much chance, and I forgot about it," Levy said. "It's an Arab country, and I didn?t think they are likely to pick a Jew." After he was informed of his victory, Levy rushed to check the contest Web site, where he found his picture and biography already on the homepage. The prize committee had posted Levy's biography exactly as he submitted it, with one glaring exception: the line showing his post-doctoral work at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot had been deleted. The prize, which included $200,000, a medal, and a certificate in English and Arabic, also came with a dinner with Saudi King Abdullah. [Continue reading]

Roger Hedgecock starts out his column with the following: "The Bush Department of Homeland Security combined federal law enforcement and border protection functions to coordinate the fight against Islamic radicals after 9/11. Obama-appointed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has retasked the DHS to intimidate conservative political opinion."

The offending report was created on January 23, 2007, during the ***BUSH II*** administration. (What was leaked to the public was merely the most recent revision.) Here's the document right off the WingNutDaily web site. http://wnd.com/images/dhs-rightwing-extremism.pdf Load it, right-click on it, select "Document Properties", and see for yourself: Buried.

I checked it for myself. Here is my reply back to RogerStrong:

Sure, Roger..... yep, January 23, 2007..... That was the "created" date, but that doesn't mean that it is the COMPLETED date, does it? It was released on "7 April 2009"... I think that is the important part of the story. That is the date that counts. Actually, when it was started on 23 JAN 07, it was probably just going to be an office joke, and they were going to write: "Right-wing Extremists to Look Out For: Dick Cheney on a hunting trip" ..... :D

Obviously, I am funded by WorldNetDaily and Fox News, and get my marching orders from Rush Limbaugh, the leader of the GOP and the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy. I'm just sayin' ...

A letter to the president ~ By Barbara Simpson

Barbara writes to Obama, and reads him the riot act about being "rude, crass, arrogant and impudent in your recent dealings with two major Catholic universities," not to mention his attempt to appoint Caroline Kennedy, who is pro-abortion, to be U.S. ambassador to the Vatican.

War on 'right-wing extremists' ~ By Joseph Farah

Now that the Democrats have control of the White House and the executive branch of government, they are determined to put the Dept of Homeland Security to use hunting down right-wing extremists.

Pastor beaten, Tasered for defending his rights

By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily An Arizona pastor – Tasered, bloodied by broken glass and sporting 11 stitches in his head – claims his injuries came from being stopped at a Border Patrol checkpoint 75 miles inside the U.S. and then being battered by police for refusing to allow agents to search his vehicle. The incident earlier this week highlights tension between constitutional rights, the issue of border security and a controversial Supreme Court ruling that grants an exceptional level of police authority near the Mexican border. Pastor Steven Anderson of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe claims he did nothing to deserve his eventual arrest and believes that when he refused to allow the search of his car he was simply standing up for his Fourth Amendment rights, which protect him against unreasonable search without a warrant. Anderson further questions why the Border Patrol is allowed to stop and search cars at a checkpoint along Interstate 8, 75 miles inland of where the highway nears the Mexican border at Yuma, Ariz. "I was in the United States! I had crossed no international border!" writes Anderson in commentary accompanying a video he made about his experience. "I didn't have any drugs; I didn't have a human beings in my car," he claims in the video itself. "Why is this happening in the United States of America?" Pastor Anderson's video explaining his side of the controversy and his rough treatment at the hands of police officers can be seen here:

Israel 'preparing massive strike on Iran'

By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily TEL AVIV, Israel–The Israel Defense Forces is carrying out drills to practice for a possible massive aerial assault on Iran's nuclear facilities within days - or even hours - of being given the go-ahead by its new government, according to a report today in the Times of London. "Israel wants to know that if its forces were given the green light they could strike at Iran in a matter of days, even hours. They are making preparations on every level for this eventuality. The message to Iran is that the threat is not just words," one unnamed senior defense official was quoted telling The Times. The British newspaper quoted other unidentified defense sources explaining any Israeli attack on Iran would entail flying over Jordanian and Iraqi airspace, where U.S. forces have a strong presence. Previous drills have included the use of F15 and F16 fighter jets, helicopters and refueling tankers, practicing bombing raids at long distances, according to the Times. Those drills took place last year, according to IDF sources speaking to WND. [Continue reading]

Distractions, Distractors, and Detractors ~ By John Kubicek

This may help explain why it is becoming more difficult to be a Conservative political commentator or blogger. The only antidotes that I know of at this time are faith and perseverence. I had started to write the post a week ago, on Resurrection Sunday (Easter). Unfortunately, I kept coming upon distractions, distractors, and detractors for the following week. Much of the problem had been that there was just so much that I could have written about during the week, but I found it difficult to choose which subject to write about. Just as I was getting one idea in mind, I would be distracted by other stories that were developing. Finally, on Saturday morning (4/18/09), it all came together, and I was able to complete this essay, complete with several videos, including the initial one that was what got the week started. read more | digg story

Bipartisan team stunned by DHS 'extremism' allegations ~ By Bob Unruh

'Veterans, families should not be viewed as a threat' By Bob Unruh © 2009 WorldNetDaily Members of both sides of the aisle in Congress are expressing outrage and seeking an investigation into a new Department of Homeland Security report on "extremism" that targets U.S. military veterans, opponents of abortion and supporters of other conservative causes. U.S. Rep Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., was horrified at what he described as a "shoddy, unsubstantiated" document that was delivered to law enforcement across the nation. "I am concerned at what appears to be a shoddy, unsubstantiated, and potentially politicized work product that has been disseminated to the Intelligence Community, and law enforcement as a finished intelligence product," he wrote to DHS chief Janet Napolitano. "The report appears at best sloppy and unprofessional and at worst a representation of political bias being passed off as intelligence analysis by DHS." According to the Washington Times, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said he was "dumbfounded" that the report was, in fact, released. "This report appears to raise significant issues involving the privacy and civil liberties of many Americans – including war veterans," Thompson told Napolitano in a letter. "As I am certain you agree, freedom of association and freedom of speech are guaranteed to all Americans – whether a person's beliefs, whatever their political orientation, are 'extremist' or not," Thompson said. He said he was disappointed and surprised the report would be issued. And he demanded to know what types of further activities DHS had planned regarding the issue. The federal agency's report is called "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." It already has generated a lawsuit by talk radio host Michael Savage. [Continue reading]

Dems Attempt to Squash Anti-Socialist Revolts

From the article:

Following the growing successes of the anti-socialist, anti-tax tea party demonstrations being held across the nation, Democrats are doing their best to squash the political uprising. With thousands of Americans standing up in protest to out of control government spending, the White House has stuck his head in the sand. When asked about the tea party demonstrations, the White House responded, “the president is unaware of the tea parties and will hold his own event today.” Maybe Obama plans to sick his Civilian National Security Force on the tea party-goers. Illinois liberal and Obama crony, Rep. Jan Schakowsky attacked the tea party demonstrators, calling them “despicable” and “shameful.” She answered, “the tea parties being held today by groups of right-wing activists, and fueled by FOX News Channel, are an effort to mislead the public about the Obama economic plan that cuts taxes for 95 percent of Americans and creates 3.5 million jobs.” Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi accused the grassroots efforts of being an “AstroTurf” disguise, controlled by the rich elite in an effort to maintain tax cuts for the rich. She explained, “they want [a] continuation of the failed economic policies of George Bush, which got us into the situation we’re in now.” She continued, “…this [tea party] initiative is funded by the high end. We call it AstroTurf. It’s not really a grassroots movement [supported] by some of the wealthiest people in America, to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich, instead of the great middle class.” [Continue reading]

From the article:

Of course, the reason the media claim to be unaware of how many people attended is because they weren't there. Sure, some local TV stations had their rigs, but the big guys? No way. I guess they think if they don't cover tea parties, it means they don't exist or something. That seems to be the government's best defense right now. Marginalize. Trivialize. Aww, isn't it cute that the peasants are having tea. Now that the big day is over, everyone should toddle home like good little sheeple and be quiet. [read more]

Obama slammed: 'Chains we can believe in'

Americans thrash president for perceived pursuit of socialism By Joe Kovacs © 2009 WorldNetDaily WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – A sign with President Obama's famous "O" logo stating, "Chains we can believe in" welcomed hundreds of protesters to a tea party event here this evening in one of the nation's most affluent regions. Those braving rain showers to sound their objections to Obama's policies voiced a common theme, one suggesting America is rapidly racing toward socialism. "We're headed toward socialism, and socialism is anathema to everything this country's ever stood for," said Fritz Breland, a self-employed yacht broker from Boynton Beach, Fla. "I'm essentially unemployed because no one's buying." [Continue reading]

1 million attend tea parties in 50 states ~ By Jerome Corsi and Chelsea Schilling

'Obama has awakened a sleeping giant' By Jerome Corsi and Chelsea Schilling © 2009 WorldNetDaily An estimated 1 million Americans participated in at least 1,000 tea parties, according to reports by organizers tabulating the nationwide numbers, with documented protests held in 50 states. Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform told WND, "The Obama administration has awakened a sleeping giant." Tax Day Tea Party national event coordinator Amy Kremer told WND she has confirmed that more than 850 parties took place. She has at least 100 more reports in her e-mail inbox that have not been posted. Asked how many people attended the events, she responded, "I would estimate it at over 1 million. I'm waiting on more numbers to come in from organizers right now. I can tell you it is absolutely over 750,000 right now." The largest protests occurred in Atlanta, Ga., with 15,000 participants. As many as 10,000 protesters participating in Sacramento, Calif., and Overland Park, Kan., according to data compiled by Americans for Tax Reform on more than 207 tea parties. Americans for Tax Reform has established an Internet page on the group's website where organizers of tea parties can submit attendance estimates to be included in the running tally. Michael DePrimo, special counsel to American Family Aassociation President Tim Wildmon, told WND that AFA's tea party website, Tea Party Day, had 2,031 confirmations that tea parties were to be held in as many cities. "Since yesterday, we have had 394 cities give us reports, many with photographs, about the tea parties that were held," he said. "We have not been able to get all the information up. We expect more to come in as the days go by." Glenn Beck reported yesterday on his Fox News program that official estimates of the participation in the Tea Party held in San Antonio, Texas, reached as many as 20,000 people. [Continue reading]

No need for the risk and difficulty of trying to smuggle a nuclear weapon over the border or hit a particular city.

Hedgecock seeks popular uprising

Columnist who revealed DHS crackdown calls government report 'un-American' Talk-radio host and WND columnist Roger Hedgecock says the Department of Homeland Security report he recently unveiled should cause more than alarm for Americans. "This kind of intimidation is so un-American," he said. "I'm hoping people will rise up against it." The DHS document warns against the possibility of violence by unnamed "right-wing extremists" concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty. It singles out returning war veterans as particular threats. He was interviewed today about his report by Greg Corombos of Radio America/WND. [The audio of the interview is embedded in the column at this point.] The report, titled "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," dated April 7, states that "threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts."

Shock and awe: This church lady can sing

Frumpy 47-year-old stuns 'Idol' judge, catapults to sudden global celebrity By Drew Zahn © 2009 WorldNetDaily Simon Cowell, the British-accented and sometimes condescending talent judge of television's mega-hit program "American Idol," was stunned by the singing of a 47-year-old church volunteer who claims she's never been kissed but whose amazing performance has catapulted her to sudden celebrity. Cowell also serves as a talent judge across the Atlantic on "Britain's Got Talent," a singing competition similar to "American Idol." When contestant Susan Boyle, who lives alone with her cat and claims she's never even been on a date, walked onto the "Britain's Got Talent" stage Saturday night, her double chin, frumpy appearance and gray hair elicited snickers and rolled eyes from the crowd, accustomed to the show's producers parading less-than-glamorous singers – like Boyle – as comic relief. But when Boyle opened her mouth to sing, Cowell, the mocking audience and the nation's television viewers were shocked. [Continue reading]

ACORN Engages in Destructive Activity Against Tea Parties!

When the story first broke 2 weeks ago that ACORN and other Leftwing groups may attempt to disrupt the Tax Day Tea Party protests today, ACORN denied the story. But now we have confirmation on the local level that proves the group is intent on doing all it can to disrupt, thwart, and embarrass the Tea Party attendees. From the article:

ACORN is on a mission to infiltrate the tea parties all across the land to start fights and make the others who attend all look disorganized and troublesome. To go at great lengths to see to it, Obama has a clear and free pass is a bit extreme, but this is how an organization like ACORN rolls. Obama had no comment when he was asked about the community group accused of election fixing. Obama helped organize ACORN, and a no answer is not necessarily a not guilty answer.
