Obama accused hundreds of thousands of Tea Partiers of being astroturf planted by the insurance and health care industries. Turns out it was Obama using astroturf health care outfits.
They concocted two groups — Americans for Stable Quality Care and its predecessor, Healthy Economy Now . . . . That’s as good an example of astroturfing as you’re going to find. There’s nothing illegal about it (unless campaign-finance laws were broken, for which we have seen no evidence), but it’s fundamentally dishonest. The White House orchestrated support, played to the support, and crowed about the support.
If our media wasn’t so ridiculously in the tank for Obama you’d hear about this on CNN instead of on blogs.
