Former New York State Attorney General Dennis Vacco has blown the lid off a highly questionable and perhaps illegal labor front group, ROC-NY, that’s running around Manhattan trying to shake down large restaurant chains.

Buried in his account, published today in The American Spectator, is something that merits a further look: The activists are staging protests in front of restaurants under the guise of “prayer vigil” permits obtained by Union Theological Seminary (affiliated, of course, with Columbia University).

What’s more, a google search brings up a post urging people to join the seminarians in their “prayer vigils” on the notorious A-Infos, the self-described “multi-lingual news service by, for, and about anarchists.”

Does Columbia’s administration condone these seminarians seemingly acting as cover for big labor and a bunch of self-described anarchists?

More on this later…
