Why Kaine Is Hiding the AFL-CIO Endorsement…

…because the AFL-CIO has been bankrolling the Occupiers.

More from the Heritage Foundation’s Matt Bluey:

Park Service spokesman Sgt. James Schlosser said that NPS would be enforcing the camping ban, but declined to say when. That was at about 1:30 p.m. By 3:30 p.m., police still had not moved into the park to enforce the ban (though they did conduct a pair of walk-throughs). The sense among protesters was that police would wait for the sun to go down before moving in to enforce the ban.

In preparation for the impending police operation, occupiers loaded moving trucks with belongings, which they said were bound for the AFL-CIO’s Washington headquarters. The union has provided extensive support for the group, allowing them to bathe in their building, and even taking out Internet advertisements to promote the protests. (emphasis added)

So Tim “Abuser Fees” Kaine is endorsed by the Occupiers?  Does that sound mainstream to you?

That would explain why the Kaine campaign has been less than proud of Big Labor’s endorsement this Sunday night.

Ouch.
