NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL ASTROTURFING

Glenn Beck holds a grassroots, non-political solidarity rally to restore honor in our country with the proceeds going to charity, and the more politically motivated pinheads just have to try and out do it. News flash (especially to Nancy Pelosi)...this 'march' is totally driven by ASTROTURF! The signs (and there will be plenty, of which there were few to none at the Restore Honor rally) will be printed, not hand-made. Just how many people/groups will be PAID to come to this 'march'? I say that plenty will be. It is at least funded/backed by the NAACP, big labor unions, teachers unions, community organizations (like ACORN), etc, ad nauseum. In my opinion this is simply one big fund raiser and campaign meeting for the democrat party. And if the organizers of this 'march' claim any money raised is going to charity, I say...PROVE IT! Oh, and be on the lookout for those crazy Tea Party people (a/k/a 'plants') who will also be paid to show up and disrupt things.

BTW...coincidence? October 2, 1967 was the day activist Thurgood Marshall officially became a Supreme Court Justice (he thought the Constitution was a living document), and also on October 2, 1949 the steel and iron workers union (CIO, now the AFL-CIO) had a national strike along with the coal miners, for one to demand pensions. How's the steel industry in this country doing today?

  1. Just had to post a comment - the 10-2-10 rally turned out to be pretty much like I thought - a BUST. Low turn-out, paid attendees, tons of litter left behind, no cohesion...etc.
