		<description>The left has accused citizens of "astro-turfing" and staging "fake outrage" at these townhall meetings when all we wanted was a little truth. Now we find that leftist "representatives" stymie the efforts of law-abiding citizens to take part in public meetings and engage in hypocritical backstage organizing to pack the audiences of the hastily rescheduled meetings.

Slimy and underhanded - that is today's dhimmicrat</description>

		<description>I once went to a conservative leaning public assembly at the State Capitol in Olympia, WA.

Across the street was a contingent of union members.  They were antagonistic, foul mouthed and ill mannered. **Ironically it's those against Obamacare who now get marked as such.**

One of them told me that they were getting paid a full day's wage to: "Show up, leave early and go to the bar."

Yet it's the Repubs that are "Nazis", "Brownshirts" and "Thugs."</description>

		<description>So...basically, the government is using our money (taxes) in order to organize against us. (We're paying the politician's salaries and benefits. Remember?)

 So, we have the Obama 'death panels,' the VA "Death Book," FEMA emergency 'camps,' and the chance to be picked up by the cops and/or military for refusing to get the flu vaccine. Oh, and let's not forget the new 'Torture Czar.'

 Startin' to connect the dots yet, are ya?</description>

		<description>They are getting desperate. Obamacare is going down in flames. They have been doing this for weeks. All one has to do is look at the professionally made pro-Obamacare signs and organization tee shirts they wear to see it.</description>

		<description>"I don’t understand how asking people to turn out for an event is evidence of wrongdoing, regardless of party affiliation."

There was no accusation of wrongdoing. The accusation can more accurately be termed lying or at least hypocracy.  By charging the protesters with "Astroturfing", an implication is made that ony by ginning up fake support can protesters gain momentum, whereas the truth is exactly the opposite. Its the left that has to resort the such tactics, not the right. 

If one wants to truly see what the left is up to, one needs to simply look at what they accuse the right of doing, and it becomes much clearer.</description>
