Astroturf group hiring in multiple cities

#1  Astroturf? I stopped keeping track of hip & trendy political catchphrases back when Mugwumps were common.
Posted by: Anguper Hupomosing9418 || 10/21/2009 0:14 Comments || Top||

#2  Astroturf = fake grassroots movement. Kinda like .

Grassroots Campaigns past and current clients include: Democratic National Committee, MoveOn.org Political Action, League of Conservation Voters, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause,, Working America, Amnesty International, Center for American Progress, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, and Save the Children. (Save the Children is an independent organization and is not religiously or politically aligned. Save the Children has no direct affiliation with the organizations Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. partners with.)

Kinda like hiring a young, high-class m/f escort as your 'spouse' for your 50th class reunion...

#3  Astroturf = some figment of Nancy Pelosi's paranoia.

Joe Biden: America's reassurer-in-chief

#1  Kind of like being reassured by the grim reaper.
Posted by: junkirony || 10/21/2009 4:48 Comments || Top||

#2  Ol' Joe is a bit of a nut, but God forbid he spell potato wrong or mispronounce nuclear.

#3  this dolt has been wrong on EVERY foreign policy issue in his political career.
Posted by: Frank G || 10/21/2009 8:25 Comments || Top||

#4  This is not a good role for Biden. Believe it or not, he’s a great salesman. He’s a likable guy and good at making his bullshit sound somewhat plausible. The problem is he’s a horrible closer. His lack of credibility prevents him from over coming objections in a convincing manner. It’s gotta suck for a former Senate Muckity-muck when all of Eastern Europe won’t return his calls.

ACORN Sting Team Releases New Video From Philadelphia Office

#1  why is this a private video??
Posted by: armyguy || 10/21/2009 9:57 Comments || Top||

#2  Breitbart is their business manager, so he is hosting the video on his site, armyguy, just like he hosted all the others. FoxNews, which is giving this story nationwide distribution, links to him.

#3  It's working now.
Posted by: ed || 10/21/2009 17:10 Comments || Top||

#4  Wait a minute - I thought I read that Philadelphia was the office where the ACORNites not only didn't fall for it but called the cops.

You don't think ACORN would lie, do you....?
Posted by: Barbara Skolaut || 10/21/2009 18:43 Comments || Top||

#5  Brietbart's stated target is the media. He says it again and again, scornfully. Derisely. Contemptuously. Niiice.

Go watch them all.

#6  My favorite part is the ending:

"To be continued . . . ."

I wonder if Acorn execs will have any nails left next time we see their lying faces on TV.
