With just three months remaining until the midterm elections, tea party billboards are cropping up along Indiana interstates, local groups are hosting favored candidates, and activists are passing out copies of the Constitution at county fairs. All good civic activity.
It also has been the season of Sarah Palin, who has spread her endorsements across the land, a calculating stamp of approval proven persuasive among loyal Republican primary voters. Palin mostly chooses tea party challengers over establishment GOP candidates, but she also makes practical choices, as in Iowa where she endorsed former Gov. Terry Branstad over a tea party opponent. A November victory by Branstad will provide Palin with a friendly governor in the nation's first presidential test, should she decide to run.

Now, if you attend some tea party meetings in Indiana, a different kind of challenge is emerging. On the information tables, along with candidate brochures and handouts from right-wing blogs, is a stack of DVDs, one of them titled "Rothschild's Choice: Barack Obama and the Hidden Cabal Behind the Plot to Murder America."
As described in breathless narration over ominous, pounding, suspenseful music, the cabal is made up of Jewish financiers and billionaires, run today by Lord Jacob Rothschild, the 4th Baron. Along with Jewish-run secret societies and globalist organizations, their control of Barack Obama has turned him into a water boy to their causes.
Obama is a Zionist puppet, goes the argument, supported by Timothy Geithner, Ben Bernanke, Barney Frank -- all Jews, all part of the banking system, all tools of the conspiracy. "David Axelrod," says the narrator, "That's right, he had a Jewish campaign manager."
