Let’s play “Spot the Astroturfers”

ST reader Sev sends along this link to a photo recap of Nancy Pelosi’s visit to downtown Denver last week, where she was on a mission to promote ObamaCare. See if you can spot the real “Astroturfers” in the pictures. Was it those with homemade signs and not dressed in any particular color T-shirt, or the ones with the mass-produced signs and/or wearing purple shirts?

Why are Hamas & Hezbollah terrorists when the average idiot on the street can understand it, but poor picked on peacelovers when Israel finally strikes back after patiently trying “European-style” diplomacy?

I’ll bet Jimmuh has a stroke when he hears what the other big Zero has said about his favorite practitioners of the religion of peace.

Oh, wait. He probably already knows because he’s one of Keith’s 3 viewers nationwide.

Well, the “Astroturfers” obviously have to be the locals who are angry that they get no answers from their “representatives”, only evasions that mean absolutely nothing.

The rest of those there, you know, the ones with identical shirts and are prone to screaming and violence and were bused in from at least 30-50 miles away and probably wouldn’t know the “representative” if he had a name tag on (because they never got that far in reading) are simply interested bystanders whose fists got attacked by all those protesters’ faces.

You can always tell what the jackasses’ strategy is – it’s the one they accuse their opponents of because it’s what they would do (and are doing).

Keith Olbermann is portraying those opposed to ObamaCare. Nope, not as racists but … as mob-like “political terrorists” like Hamas and Hezbollah.

Which is really funny, cuz Keith usually thinks Hamas/Hezbollah are the ‘good’ guys!

Obviously the astroturfers are those who have parked their cars block away and walked in the August heat to the event while the real members have riffen in air conditioned busses from two Congressional Districts away. Don’t you understand Donkspeak?

Odorboy also projects his obnoxious egoistic autism [Keith-O matches San Fran Nan’s Botox Mug with botox-brain shinkage inside] onto his opponents. His former colleagues at ESPN were happier to see him leave than the NBC Newsers were to see this p.o.s. land on their doorstep. Like something the cat puked up. Or the dog dropped by a hydrant. Actually, Keith-O spews more than your average sewage plant can process, and that on a nightly basis.

If they were truly like Hamas and Hezzbola, Obama would be cowering to them, not standing up to them. Olberman is a moron.

It would be amusing to be a fly on the wall, listening to Pelosi, Axelrod, or the ACORN staff talking about the amateur protesters they publicly call Astroturfers.
These are the experts at astroturf, and what they think of real protesters would be interesting.

The real protesters just get them P.O.’d because they’re the fly in Barack & Co.’s smooth-as-silk ointment.

And just when they thought they’d have a clear shot at getting rid of all those archaic and silly democratic institutions.

Keith Olbermann is mentally ill, and is best ignored.

Funny, the pot calling the kettle black…just heard that great quote by Senator Clinton during her campaign about how she felt the Bush administration was shutting down debate and protesters at his town halls, etc. How soon they forget. Maybe that is why she is in Africa…did you catch her DeNiro Moment….”you talkin’ to me???”. I thought her comment on channeling her husband was quite telling, especially after the two-for-one campaign they ran.
