Dallas Woodhouse

Dallas Woodhouse seems to think that if he uses the word "grassroots" often enough, he can magically mask the stench of Art Pope's corporate largesse.

The text below received via email from the Bus Driver himself.

When Brave New Films released a recent video about the Koch brothers, Americans for Prosperity (AFP), and the Wake County School Board there was an immediate and indignant response from Dallas Woodhouse of Americans for Prosperity. One sentence did not ring true in the response:

Americans for Prosperity is a nonpartisan, issue-based policy organization and does not support or oppose candidates for public office.

AFP campaign finance reports submitted to the North Carolina State Board of Elections reveal that in 2010 AFP spent $189,894.00 on Electioneering Communications in support of 19 North Carolina candidates, comprised of 7 State Senate candidates and 12 State House candidates. A report compiled by the NC Free Enterprise Foundation from various sources puts the total spent by AFP in supporting the 19 candidates at $287,195.22. This is starkly in contrast with Woodhouse's assertion that "Americans for Prosperity ... does not support or oppose candidates for public office."

• In a world where teaching assistants get laid off unless they can drive a bus, Dallas Woodhouse would be home free. Good thing he's busy doing tricks for the Puppy Show.
• The Great Redistricting Scam fails to pass smell test in Buncombe, New Bern, Winston-Salem, and pretty much everywhere else in the whole damn state.
• A righteous smackdown of all things Tillis by the Southern Pines Pilot.
• No wonder little Tommy left a cushy career in business. From out here on the sidelines, Speaker Tillis is just one big screw-up after another.

Americans for Prosperity has learned that Governor Perdue is planning to veto “The Balanced Budget Act of 2011,”a bill that makes modest and necessary spending cuts to this years budget to help close a 2.7 billion dollar projected defecit [sic] in next years budget without raising taxes.

He didn't eat that last donut, either.

Entirely predictable. The North Carolina director of the conservative group Americans for Prosperity, is a brash speaker who doesn’t pull punches, but now he’s getting attention for threatening to throw one. In a remote television interview on RT America’s Alyona show recently, [Dallas] Woodhouse was discussing the diversity issue in Wake County schools when he became irritated with a Georgetown University journalism professor in the studio who was interrupting him.

A flustered Woodhouse, speaking from a monitor, told the professor, Christopher Chambers: “Sir, I am going to knock you for a loop if you’re not going to let me finish.”

Randy is in desperate need of an editor. It's "told", not "tolded", and "interesting", not "intersting". Make a note.

If you can stomach it:

Call to Provide Valuable Information about Tea Party Movement, 2010 Elections and Eastern North Carolina Tea Party Summit

Francis X. De Luca, President of the John William Pope Civitas Institute, and Dallas Woodhouse, North Carolina State Director of Americans For Prosperity will host a free telephone town hall meeting to discuss the latest political developments, the current state legislative session, the 2010 elections and this weekend’s Eastern North Carolina Tea Party Summit in Wilmington, North Carolina.

For now it's mostly a case of "she said he said", but it looks like the fat pink pig has strayed into the election garden:

Miller posted an attack of Rudy on her website, claiming Rudy used AFP funds to raise $25,000 for local developer Martin Aragona Jr. who is running against Miller.

What was it Dallas said the other day?
