What is Astroturfing?

From Jimmy at the Sundries Shack, "AstroTurfing: What It Is and What It Isn’t":

Let’s be clear. The protesters you’ve seen opposing Obamacare generally aren’t AstroTurfers. Indeed, there is no evidence at all that Obamacare protesters have done any AstroTurfing. The supposed gotcha memo that the left waved around like a bloody shirt a couple weeks ago (before Mary Katharine Ham showed their outrage was more fake than Lindsey Lohan’s lesbianism) wasn’t an AstroTurfing effort either. It was good-old grassroots activism, just like our President used to do, except the guy who wrote the memo wasn’t actually paid to be an activist. The Tea Party movement is a grassroots movement, even though they have some semblance of organization.

Great post. Read the whole thing, here.

Plus, at Gateway Pundit, "Of Course. Obama Busses in Supporters at Grand Junction Rally Too."

And check the video at the Peoples Press Collective. The ObamaBots, at the least, should make their own signs.
