The Working Families Party that is organizing a bus tour protest this Saturday at the homes of AIG employees has deep ties to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, billionaire leftist financier George Soros and the radical group ACORN.
A 2005 article by Richard Poe published at Discover the Networks details the connections:
The Working Families Party (WFP) is a front group for the radical cult ACORN. It functions as a political party in New York State and Connecticut, promoting ACORN-friendly candidates. Unlike conventional political parties, WFP charges its members dues – about $60 per year – a policy characteristic of ACORN and its affiliates.
According to the party’s Web site, WFP is a coalition founded by ACORN, the Communications Workers of America, and the United Automobile Workers. However, ACORN clearly dominates the coalition. New York ACORN leader Steven Kest was the moving force in forming the party. WFP headquarters is located at the same address as ACORN’s national office, at 88 Third Avenue in Brooklyn.
-----
The Working Families Party benefits from a quirk of New York State election law, which allows parties to “cross-endorse” candidates of other parties. Thus when Hillary Clinton ran for the Senate in 2000, she ran both on the Democratic Party ticket and on the Working Families Party ticket. Of the 3.4 million popular votes Hillary received from New Yorkers, the Working Families Party delivered 103,000.
-----
In the November 6, 2000 election, WFP cross-endorsed Al Gore and Hillary Clinton. WFP won 80,000 votes for Al Gore and 103,000 votes for Hillary.
During the campaign, Hillary spoke at numerous WFP events, most memorably at the party’s debut convention, held March 26-27, 2000 at the Desmond Hotel in Albany – an event which the Communist newspaper People’s Weekly World approvingly called, “a turning point in New York politics.” Before an audience packed with card-carrying members from WFP union affiliates SEIU, AFSCME, CWA, UAW, UNITE and many more, leftwing Texas activist Jim Hightower drew applause with such lines as, "They say Wall Street is whizzing. Well, yeah, it's whizzing on you and me. Let's call it exactly what it is - it's class war." After receiving WFP’s endorsement, Hillary vowed to wage a “people’s grassroots campaign.”
“[T]here have been few candidates in history more supportive of our issues than Al Gore and Hillary Clinton,” proclaimed WFP campaign literature.
Following the convention, Hillary’s rival Rudolph Giuliani commented, "That nomination [by WFP] makes our point about Mrs. Clinton being a candidate of the far left. She was trying to create this image of being this 'New Democrat,' this more conservative Democrat. That party is about as far left as it gets right now in the political ideology of the state."
ACORN canvassers fanned out across the state for Hillary, embarking on a massive get-out-the-vote drive rife with the sort of voting and registration irregularities for which ACORN has become justly notorious.

The most significant – and controversial – of New York’s up-and-coming Soros courtiers is Democrat David Soares, now district attorney of Albany county. Soares’ jurisdiction encompasses the state capital, empowering him to press criminal charges at will against any and all members of the New York State government, from the governor on down – or to withhold such charges, at his discretion. In an environment as rife with corruption as Albany, Soares is now a man to be feared.
It bodes ill for New York that the new “Sheriff of Albany” – as The New York Sun dubbed Soares – owes his promotion to corrupt and illegal financing by George Soros and the Working Families Party.
The Soros-funded Drug Policy Alliance – a drug legalization lobby through which Soros often funnels political contributions – gave $81,500 to the Soares campaign. Instead of donating the money directly, however, the Drug Policy Alliance laundered Soros’ contribution through the Working Families Party – an illegal act. New York State law bars one party from funding another party’s candidate. In this case, however, authorities have shown no interest in disciplining either Soros or the Working Families Party.
The Working Families Party was listed as a co-sponsor of yesterday's nationwide protest at AIG, Bank of America and Citigroup offices in a press release issued by the leftist Service Employees International Union.
No angry bus tour ever fed a hungry child.
Don’t park that damn bus anywhere near my house!
So ACORN is using it’s bailout money to stir up trouble for AIG over the use of their bailout money...
Makes perfect sense to me.
0bama’s plan to destroy the nation continues unabated
Right. Of course it has been orchestrated all along for two reasons. One is that the administration wants to keep the class war going strong so Obama can implement all his socialist plans to help the "entitled" and keep looking like some sort of hero to those "poor folk."
The other is that the AIG scandal is being used as a diversion so the public doesn't catch what the Feds are really doing about the economy in this country that is much more serious than the AIG bonuses and will hit our pockets much more directly. Watch Glenn Beck tonight to see what I mean. He explained it yesterday. It is confusing to explain here, sorry, even Glenn admitted how complicated it is. Basically, however the government has written itself an IOU for borrowing trillions of it's (our) own money that it does not have. Kinda like you writing yourself an IOU to borrow from yourself, when you don't have anything to borrow.
I got caught up in this AIG thing, then realized that there must be something other that Obama does not want us to know because it was just too smooth how Dodd and Obama and Geither were flip-flopping, etc. with nary a blink of the eye. They are all trying to cloud the waters and no one cares if a little blame soils them for a moment. They all feel safe under the protection of the liberal machine they've built. They know if the public gets rilled up about AIG they won't be able to focus on the larger scandal in DC. When the AIG scandal blows over, the govt. will have been able to implement a much more serious economic disaster with no one catching on.
The fact that our government and aligned liberal front groups are behind this behaviour should be highly offensive and of great concern to ALL Americans.
Soros has cojones.
Societe Generale, the French bank that received $60 Billion of our bailout $$ from AIG two weeks ago, is a George Soros enterprise.
Now he supports harassing AIG workers at their homes.
wow.
This is only the beginning indy/lindy.....and considering half the population in this country is brain-dead it will continue. Most people don’t have a clue.

They don’t want any resistance so they are now characterizing all patriots as a threat to the USA.. while the real Criminals, Thugs and Commies take over at lightening speed.
This is sickening. I’m forwarding it to Chairman Michael Steele. Not that I expect him to go pro-active, but miracles can happen.
I'm proud to be a member of the resistance.
Your profile is Spot On!
We need to go after ACORN! Expose them, take them down.
hmmm.
ACORN is Obama.
Geithner is Obama.
A.I.G. is Obama.
Timothy Geithner, in Sept/Oct was instrumental in the bail-out.
Timothy Geithner, Obama’s Treasury Secretary, fails to pay his taxes and still takes position with Obama. Why?..
Geithner will take blame and disappear - this was THE plan and Geitner’s job.
Soros hates America and “-—has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the “bubble of American supremacy,” because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global “equilibrium.” So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.” http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/02/george_soros_and_the_alchemy_o.html
is...
Soros is Obama or
Obama is Soros or ... either way, they both hate America.
This is a well thought out plan.
ding, ding, ding....we have winner over here!

Here’s a short bio of the Director of this group, Jon Green
ACORN and a Chicago community organizer
I will be asking any census worker who trespasses on my property if they are tied in with ACORN and if I get an affirmitive answer I’m going to order them off my property and call the sheriff.
I just booked Another Obamathug. That was fun!
