Taitz Disinvited From Tea Party Rally; Will WND Report?
Topic: WorldNetDaily

We've long detailed the lengths WorldNetDaily will go to in order to protect Orly Taitz. Here's something else we can pretty much guarantee WND won't tell its readers:

Several California Republican political candidates, including Senate hopeful Carly Fiorina, were scheduled to share the stage this week with one of the leaders of the "birther" movement that claims President Obama was not born in this country and is thus ineligible for his elected office.

Orly Taitz, an Orange County attorney who has gone to court many times to try to disqualify Obama, was invited to speak Thursday at a Tax Day Tea Party rally in Pleasanton, Calif., that is expected to draw thousands of people. Late Tuesday, organizers said that they had rescinded Taitz's invitation after questions were raised about her presence by candidates who had been contacted by The Times.

Bridget Melson, founder and president of the Pleasanton Tea Party, said the organization had been "getting calls from candidates like crazy."

"It's not worth it," she said. "She's too controversial. This is not what the tea party is about at this point."

Remember, WND is under orders from Taitz not to report anything negative about her.

UPDATE: WND is linking to the Los Angeles Times article quoted above, but has devoted no original coverage to it.
