We’d like to nominate “astroturfing” as the next word to be eliminated from the English language. After this story, we hope to never hear or see the word again.
“Astroturfing” is a word created by Obama puppetmaster David Axelrod. It refers to an artificial grassroots movements. That is, highly-organized demonstrations rather than spontaneous ones.
The Democrat mantra has been that the Town Hall protests must be astroturf. Barbara Boxer complained that the protesters were “too well-dressed.” This, of course, from the most regal and condescending of all senators.
Enough of the Democratic talking points. Let’s get back to reality.
These photos tell you everything you need to know about which side of the issue was “organized.” The anti-ObamaCare people look like they’re far more familiar with Jonas Brothers than with Brooks Brothers. The anti-ObamaCare people have signs handmade with cardboard and magic markers while the pro-ObamaCare stooges have professionally-designed and printed posters.
Hmmmmm. That seems backwards. But then, almost everything about this administration seems backwards.
