On Nov. 5, 2009, at the behest of Rep. Michele Bachmann, thousands of tea party activists descended on the Capitol to vent their rage over the health care overhaul bill pending before Congress.

The assembled activists chanted, “Kill the bill! Kill the bill!” and waved signs opposing a government takeover of health care — but they may not have known that the same government was paying for the event.
