GOP Astroturfing? Of course!

Boy Jazz - That went over like the proverbial turd in a lunch bucket!

It's sort of my unofficial role... the guy who takes opposite positions on many items and provides a high cross section target. My anti-Palin posts really bring in the mail.

I went to a distant town today and took down about a dozen or so of those posters that say "Facism" with Obama's mug superimposed with Batman's latest "joker" that were posted all over the entrance and exit to that town. Many of them were quite high. I'll continue to do so and have spoken to my network to do the same. I refuse to sit idly by while the freedom of speech is perverted to include superimposing a picture of Batman's latest "joker" [deceased-implied] in this way. Implying you want my president dead is going to cost you MedMob.

So we're busy printing posters of our own that show MedMob lynching Obama. Two can play that game. BTW, when you go to tear those posters down they put them quite high so bring a stepladder with you. Nobody implies the death of my president. Nobody. Not even MedMob's hired hands.. We're shining the light of day on what you're up to. You can continue, but people are going to know who's behind it.

Sil - So we're busy printing posters of our own that show MedMob lynching Obama.

Oh the horror!! I bet that will sure show them folks that you aren't one to mess around with. You wanna call them out by doing the same thing. "Two can play at that game"; I guess two wrongs make it right?

Nobody implies the death of my president.

If this is the meaning you're getting from those posters, then perhaps you need to check what you have in your pipe. I suppose it only bothers you Sil since he is the president you voted for, but then again, maybe this bothers you just the same.

Jazz, interesting column over there; I agree with Ron about its reception over there.

What town would that be that has an "entrance and exit"?

Actually, the real point about this isn't being made by the liberal media, because they're on the Obamawagon with the rest of the Herd.

This is mischaracterization of the protests and of the public to try to make them appear to the gullible to be less than authentic (or respectable), while the model for these Town Hall appearances have been those deliberately contrived, stage-managed, fully manipulated circus appearances by none other than President Obama in continued campaign mode, the most blatant phony Roving Potemkin Village (of and for societal idiots, assuming the rest of the public is also largely similar, willingly manipulated idiots).

Is it any surprise they'd accuse the widespread, overwhelmingly honest and rational opposition as fake?

"So we're busy printing posters of our own that show MedMob lynching Obama"

If you're going to be irrational and dishonest, at least do it with a flair, I suppose.

It certainly beats the droll-as-well-as-dishonest "health care is a right" nonsense.

Just wait until the environmentalists turn from global warming nonsense or food faddism to banning Astroturf (if not out of ideology, then merely out of spite).

Astroturf of the day had to be the physician impersonator at the Sheila Jackson Lee townhall.
If you want to be entertained by a totally muffed astroturf attempt read these:

You'd think they could do better than this, but then again, we are talking a Shiela Jackson Lee townhall.

The one where Lee started talking on her cell while someone was trying to make a statment? Yep thats the way to make people think you care what voters think. No reason for anybody to get upset at that.

The posters are meant to convey death since everyone and their brother knows that joker in real life died...the one superimposed over Obama's face. It wouldn't be so boldy implied if Senators hadn't recently also been threatened with death; but given that they were, the meaning is implicit and clear.

The fact that those flyers went up all around the country on a given day means there is an organized group implying they want our elected leader dead. This could be Al Qaida but it most likely is instead the astroturfers hired specifically to intimidate our democracy to a point beyond tolerance.

And we won't have it. We're coming up with posters of our own for MedMob. Look for them at a town near you soon. What's good for the goose is good for the gander..
