Sarah Palin and the John Birch Society?

By Donald Douglas

In 1995, Sarah Palin, as a member of the Wasilla City Council, was photographed reading an publication of the John Birch Society, as Ben Smith reports in, "What's on the Desk?":

In a picture supplied by Sarah Palin's family to the Associated Press, Palin appears with some rather odd reading matter: The magazine of the ultraconservative John Birch Society.

The picture, dating to 1995, when Palin was a member of the Wasilla City Council, ran beside a profile of Palin in Saturday's New York Times. The magazine, The New American, is sitting on top of her calendar on her desk, unopened.

The current, and then-, president of the group, John McManus, confirmed that the cover fit the description of a 1995 issue of the magazine. The headline, "Con-Con Call," refers to discussion at the time of a constitutional convention. The headline appears above a picture of then-Utah Governor Mike Leavitt, who had floated the notion as a way of returning the balance of power back toward the states. But the author warned that the convention could actually be a devious ploy aimed at increasing government power.

McManus said Palin wouldn't have had to have any connection to the society, or the journal, to have wound up with that issue on her desk."Any attempt to link her to the John Birch Society would be ridiculous," he said of speculation on the liberal blogs that first noticed the magazine.

The Climate Killers

Meet the 17 polluters and deniers who are derailing efforts to curb global warming

The Tea Partiers
Charles and David Koch
CEO and Executive Vice President, Koch Industries

The multibillionaire brothers not only run the nation's largest private energy company, they rival Exxon in funding the front groups that spread disinformation about the dangers of climate change. Over the years, the Kochs and their foundations have lavished millions on climate deniers at the Heritage Foundation, the Competitive Enterprise Institute and the Cato Institute, which Charles founded in 1977. Cato, in turn, supports the work of Patrick Michaels, a leading climate denier who attempts to discredit the international scientific consensus on global warming while accepting money from coal companies. As author Thomas Frank observes in What's the Matter With Kansas?, "Koch money subsidizes the mass production of bad ideas."

One major recipient of Koch cash is Americans for Prosperity, where David chairs the foundation's board. In addition to fomenting last summer's town-hall brawls over health care reform, AFP sponsored a "Hot Air Tour" on climate change, deploying a manned balloon at 75 events for the purpose of "Exposing the Ballooning Costs of Global Warming Hysteria." At the events, the group's president, Tim Phillips, grossly exaggerated the costs of climate legislation, calling it a trillion-dollar tax on American families.

Last October, at an AFP summit attended by David Koch, the assembled Tea Partiers screened a climate-denial film that accused advocates like Al Gore of wanting to take civilization "back to the Dark Ages and the Black Plague." Such events, Koch proclaimed, "bring to reality the vision" of "fighting for the economic freedoms that made our nation the most prosperous society in history." Last year, seeking to defend its own prosperity against a carbon-capped future, Koch Industries spent more than $8.5 million on lobbying.

Read how Big Oil and Big Coal mounted aggressive lobbying campaigns to block progress on global warming in Jeff Goodell's "As the World Burns."

Nancy Pfotenhauer, McCain’s Dirty Energy Spokeswoman

http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/06/28/dirty-nancy-pfotenhauer/

Nancy Pfotenhauer Is A Pure Right-Wing/Koch Industries Product. Pfotenhauer’s resumé includes George Mason University (funded by Koch), Citizens for a Sound Economy (founded by Koch), Americans for Prosperity (founded by Koch), and the Independent Women’s Forum (funded by Koch). She also worked directly for Koch Industries as their top Washington lobbyist. When not on the Koch payroll, Pfotenhauer worked for the Republican National Committee, Sen. William Armstrong (R-CO), and Dan Quayle’s Council on Competitiveness. [Media Transparency, Dunamis International Ministries]

After graduating with a master’s in economics from George Mason University (funded by Koch) in the late 1980s, Pfotenhauer became the “chief economist” at the Republican National Committee before the age of 24. She then worked for George H.W. Bush’s transition team and Sen. William Armstrong (R-CO), and was then appointed to be “chief economist of the President’s Council on Competitiveness,” Dan Quayle’s secretive anti-environmental project.

During the Clinton years, she rejoined the Koch Industries machine as “executive vice president for policy” of the Koch front group Citizens for a Sound Economy. With her then-husband Daniel Mitchell, a Heritage Foundation economist, she co-hosted the call-in show “Mitchells in the Morning” on National Empowerment Television, run by Heritage Foundation founder Paul Weyrich. From 1996 to 2001, she was the top lobbyist for Koch Industries.

While working for Koch, she divorced Mitchell and married Gordon Smith’s (R-OR)’s chief of staff Kurt Pfotenhauer, now a top mortgage-industry lobbyist. In 2001 she was named president of another Koch front group, the anti-feminist Independent Women’s Forum (IWF). In 2003 she also became president of Americans for Prosperity (originally CSE), until joining the McCain campaign in 2007.

Koch Industries (LIES) is NOT funding Tea Party Tax Day
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kevin-grandia/koch-industries-is-not-fu_b_539082.html

Why am I so sure that Koch Industries, the 2nd largest private corporation in America and major donor to the right-wing libertarian movement, has absolutely nothing to do with Tea Party Tax Day?

Because they told me so.

Melissa Cohlmia, Director Communication, Koch Companies Public Sector, sent an email to me (and I am assuming many others yesterday) stating that:

Because you have covered tea parties in the past and we imagine you will cover tomorrow's Tax Day Tea Party in DC, we want to reiterate some important facts.

Koch companies value free speech and believe it is good to have more Americans engaged in key policy issues. That said, Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch and David Koch have no ties to and have never given money to FreedomWorks. In addition, no funding has been provided by Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch or David Koch specifically to support the tea parties.

Thanks for your consideration.

Given the fact that Koch and their foundations have dumped millions into some of the most vocal groups behind the Tea Party movement, like Americans for Prosperity, how can you not believe them?

Not to mention the fact that Americans for Prosperity was founded by David Koch himself or that the former president of AFP, Nancy Pfotenhauer, was the chief Koch lobbyist on Capitol Hill for five years.

I'm just wondering why they sent this message out in the first place. After all, I normally don't send emails to bloggers telling them about things I'm not involved in:

"Dear Huffington Post, I just wanted to send you a quick note that I, nor anyone I know, had anything to do with that major hurricane off the Florida coast today."

It's obviously a proactive communications strategy by Koch to distance themselves from something they do not want to be seen to be part of, while at the same time continuing to pump millions into the very organization stoking the activities they are trying to distance themselves from.

The other thing I never understood about this communications tactic (maybe it's simple because I am terrible when it comes to accounting) is that when a company provides a whole bunch of money to an advocacy organization, like Koch provides to Americans for Prosperity, and the money goes into general revenues, how can that company unequivocally claim that they had nothing to do specific activities that the organization undertakes?

Do they have separate computers and phones in the office with sticky notes that say something like: "This equipment was paid for by the Koch Foundation, please refrain from using it for anything related to the Tea Party or Tea Party Tax Day."

If you've ever wondered what it means when people say you "can't have your cake and eat it too," this email from Koch explains it well.

Koch Industries: We Don't Fund Tea Parties (Except For The Tea Parties We Fund)
Justin Elliott | April 15, 2010, 9:48AM
http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/04/right-wing_backers_koch_industries_we_dont_specifi.php

Koch Industries, a major backer of myriad right-wing causes, issued an unsolicited statement last night in advance of Tax Day claiming it has never provided funding "specifically to support the tea parties." But when TPMmuckraker followed up, a spokeswoman acknowledged that Koch funds one of the most prominent national groups that organizes ... tea parties.

"Because you have covered tea parties in the past and we imagine you will cover tomorrow's Tax Day Tea Party in DC, we want to reiterate some important facts," wrote Melissa Cohlmia, the company's director of communication, in the email Wednesday evening.

"Koch companies value free speech and believe it is good to have more Americans engaged in key policy issues. That said, Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch and David Koch have no ties to and have never given money to FreedomWorks. In addition, no funding has been provided by Koch companies, the Koch foundations, Charles Koch or David Koch specifically to support the tea parties. Thanks for your consideration."

Now, it's well known that Kansas-based Koch, one of the largest private companies in the world, with a hand in everything from chemical production to commodity trading, and associated foundations plow millions into right-wing causes including climate change denial and pro-corporate economics research.

Another of Koch's beneficiaries is Americans for Prosperity, which was founded in part by the company's Executive Vice President, David Koch. He is currently the chairman of the board of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation.

AFP, based in Washington, has been a key organizer of many tea party events, including Tax Day Tea Party rallies in at least nine states today. (Indeed, we last encountered AFP when a man holding an "I Am AFP!" sign at an Ohio tea party protest berated a pro-health reform rallier who is disabled by Parkinson's.)

AFP's North Carolina branch has a Web site called www.nctaxdayteaparty.com that encourages supporters to "contact Americans for Prosperity-NC with questions about throwing a Tea Party in your town! We are here to help you have a great success!"

In an interview this morning, Cohlmia confirmed Koch's role backing AFP. Asking how that squares with the statement that Koch not provide funding "specifically to support the tea parties," Cohlmia said "the statement stands."

She said the unsolicited statement was prompted because, "we've had a number of people who have indicated Koch is funding and orchestrating tea parties."

A spokeswoman for Americans for Prosperity directed inquiries back to Koch Industries.

Friday Free-For-All: Crasher Edition
by Publius

The “Tea Party Crashers“, bless their hearts, think that if they publicly announce they are going to infiltrate tea party rallies with outrageous signs they will be able to…we don’t know…make people like ObamaCare? Convince people to pay more in taxes? It is all very confusing, but the leftist mind has never suffered from an overabundance of clarity. Well, the good people of the Central Texas 9-12 Project know exactly how to handle these “crashers”. Consider yourselves advised.

Tea Party Crash fizzles out

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/35901.html

After several days of hype and hand-wringing about liberal plans to infiltrate Thursday’s tea party rallies, the great 2010 Tax Day Tea Party Crash did not produce much of a bang in Washington.

... The group that organized the Thursday evening rally, the small-government non-profit FreedomWorks had devised plans to deal with any infiltrators who mixed among the crowd and expressed racist, homophobic, threatening or otherwise offensive rhetoric through chants, signs or t-shirts. FreedomWorks distributed signs reading “Leftist Infiltrator” to be used to identify alleged impostors and FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe urged the thousands who gathered for the evening event to take photos of offenders to be posted online to embarrass them.

... And a group of five American University students, who were on average probably at least 25 years younger than most attendees at the FreedomWorks rally, waded through the crowd with signs ranging from the direct and challenging (“Embrace the state”) to the satirical (“I have a sign” and “Loud noises”) to the malapropically mocking (“No $ 4 educatoin. I don’t wnt it”).

“We’re really just more protesting for the sake of humor,” said Thomas Bollerman, 19, of Ridgefield, Conn., who identified himself and his cohorts as part of a Protest Club at American.

Plenty of rally attendees weren’t amused. The protest club was repeatedly photographed (per Kibbe’s instructions), but also peppered with shouts including “Grow up” and “Get out of here.” And one man wearing an Albany Tea Party shirt and a long braided gray ponytail, who identified himself only as “Spider,” menacingly followed them through the crowd.

“I have a problem with you pretending to be one of us,” he told Bollerman’s crew, his voice quivering with anger, after they made a beeline for a cluster of police vehicles.

When Spider parted company with the infiltrators, Bollerman conceded he was frightened. “I’m still kind sweating and nervous,” he said.

Jason Levin, the middle school teacher behind the Crash The Tea Party project, is dismissing claims that he misused his position to organize the scheme.

Levin is currently on a paid leave from the Beaverton, Oregon school district where he works while school officials investigate charges that he used school time and equipment to create the website CrashTheTeaParty.org. He told me his attorneys have advised him not to do any interviews while the investigation runs its course. But in a written statement he emailed me this morning, Levin said the charges are without merit.

"Any allegation that I used school district equipment or district time to create or maintain the website is completely and totally false," Levin wrote. ...

... "One more thing," he wrote in his email this morning. "I'm willing to sell crashtheteaparty.org if anyone is interested."

Victory over the crashers

Washington Post (blog) - David Weigel - ‎1 hour ago‎

CrashtheTeaParty set up the pins. Conservative bloggers knocked them down. Tales of hardy tea party activists scaring interlopers out of their rallies are all over the Web today. Moe Lane declares victory, as does Michelle Malkin, who passes on photos and this update on the fate of CrashtheTeaParty founder Jason Levin:

A state board will investigate whether a Beaverton teacher was on his own time or using state resources while he organized liberals to crash Oregon tea parties.

On Thursday, Jason Levin was put on paid leave by the Beaverton School District.

I didn't think conservatives could locate a less fearsome bogeyman than ACORN, but then came Levin. Like "the Yes Men" with full frontal lobotomies.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A group planning to crash the Tea Party on tax day is led by an Oregon teacher, who has been threatened since his picture and personal phone number were posted on the Internet.

Beaverton Middle School teacher Jason Levin's group wants to infiltrate the Tea Party to discredit the organization. But since Levin's name has been associated with the "Crash the Tea Party" Web site, he has been harassed by people who say they belong to that group.

Levin told KATU-TV that his phone has been ringing around the clock and his answering machine is recording threats.

Tea Party members have accused him of doing his political work during school hours, but Levin and the school district say his activism has happened on his own time.

Could a grandmother throwing a Tea Party make sure Alan Grayson is reelected? Peg Dunmire has gone from Republican stuck in a crowded primary to Tea Party candidate on the November ballot, and she isn't looking back at her decades as a Republican.

"I think we've really had about 15 years of a disconnect with the populace and the people we send to Washington."

She goes from just another Republican trying to make a name for herself, to on the November ballot as the first Florida Tea Party candidate. I asked party head Fred O'Neal if they could split the vote and send Alan Grayson back. I got bravado.

"The decision is going to be the decision the Republican Party candidate is going to have to make, as to whether to stay in the race or whether to drop out and support Peg."

Fred O'Neal founded the Tea Party in Florida, a state-recognized political party that has a candidate on the 2010 ballot to challenge a Democratic member of the U.S. House. He now faces a lawsuit filed by fellow tea party activists.

"There's been a steady campaign to try to drive a wedge between the Tea Party and the other people in the tea party movement," O'Neal said. "They're trying to basically discredit what we're doing."
