Rob Schofield is calling this connection between new Wake County Superintendent Anthony Tata and conservative political commentator Glenn Beck "a worrisome sign."
According to this post today on the Progressive Pulse blog, run by the liberal N.C. Policy Watch, Schofield writes that Beck is the first person that Twitter suggests that followers of Tata might also enjoy following.
Most of Tata's recent twitters have promoted his appearances on Fox News to talk about military issues and his unsuccessful bid to win the Washington Post's "America's Next Great Political Pundit" contest. If he had won, Tata would have gotten a contract to write 13 political columns for the Post.

OMG!!! I just googled Tata!
Mon, 01/03/2011 - 21:49 — ApexterOMG!!!! I just looked up "Tata" under google images, and I came up with hundreds of pictures of .........
Indian cars.
Does this mean that he is secretly a car, or an Indian?
(And my planned punchline was ruined, as that's NOT the type of image I thought was going to show up.)
Seriously, Keung, I'm not normally one of the ones who second-guesses the stuff you choose to blog about here, but shouldn't the subject matter at least pass the non-idiocy test? Is that the best they can come up with?
heh.
Mon, 01/03/2011 - 22:59 — Bob_SconceIts blogworthy because it shows the length to which his opponents will go to discredit him. Imagine what will happen when they realize "Tata" is an anagram of "Atta," the most famous of the 9/11 hijackers.
I also note that his last
Tue, 01/04/2011 - 09:04 — CaryCurmudgeonI also note that his last name ends in a vowell, is he another one of them eye-talians from up north? Greg Flynn will have to update that Godfather parody logo he was using and add another string.
OMG....It's an eye-talian

Good point. There seems to
Tue, 01/04/2011 - 11:03 — woodstockGood point. There seems to be a pattern of bigotry from the the extreme left regarding those of Italian descent.
I thought he was Indian ...

All the conservatives
Mon, 01/03/2011 - 14:57 — user12345All the conservatives commentators are "owned" by Fox so it should not be a surprise that they all support and tweet each other.
Hui's daily mud sling ....
Mon, 01/03/2011 - 14:51 — AgentPierceWhats next Keung? Tata's second cousin is named "Sarah" !!!
Are you hoping to get to ride on the lead float in the big February parade ? Surely Orage can make that happen.

Mon, 01/03/2011 - 13:51 — starsonoursSlow day huh, to be sure there is something more relavent than this to write about.
Of course Schofield finds it
Mon, 01/03/2011 - 13:52 — woodstockOf course Schofield finds it worrisome. This is not news or even a little surprising. Hell, he is a very proud ultra left-wing extremist who fears those -- like Beck -- who honor the Constitution and value individual freedom. Schofield is probably more than worried, he is scared to death.
Keung. I think calling N.C. Policy watch "liberal" is like saying molten lava "is a little on the warm side."
