CNN's "Deuling Busses" (Astroturf, anyone?)

HotAir.com ^

You remember the song “Dueling Buses” from the film Deliverance? Oh, that’s right — the phrase dueling buses is the tagline CNN has politely given to the latest White House strategy to combat opposition to ObamaCare. Taking a page directly out of the opponent’s playbook, Obama’s on-again off-again organizing arm Organizing for America is conducting a cross-country bus tour to rival the Tea party Express, which started its journey August 28. Well, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery.

See if you can guess which picture represents true grass-roots support and which is a staged organizing event of the sort Democrats claim to deplore.

Reminds me of this Iowahawk post:

But, but, but...they’re waving the flag!

Note that their signs are scrawled, fiendishly tricking cameramen into closeups. All are expertly handmade, an expensive graphic design luxury only affordable to their puppet masters in the drug and insurance cartels. Note these mobs are so well paid for their agitation that they actually arrived in their own cars and expensive non-matching t-shirts. Fishy? You bet! Report them at once!

LOL!

You have to wonder what is going thru their minds. They know the signs are preprinted and the people are rented. I guess thats why they shout out when one of the big cons walk in. Something to do.

Lemme see...
In the one picture, all the signs are professionally printed, and all the same;
in the other picture, the signs are painfully obviously amateur efforts.

Naw, I can’t tell: Which is the staged rally?

The real tipoff is the 42” or better Flat Screen Monitor......

[cranked]

Grassroots according to Pelosi. /sarcasm

Ha! Which is probably just like home for most of the attendees who "can't afford" health insurance.

The one on the left reminds me of mannequins on parade.

[AmericanInTokyo]

JUST LOOK at all those mass-produced, heartless, robototron signs printed up on the Left, and all those hand made, from -the-hear, individual initiative based signs on the Right.

That, alone, in that photo, SPEAKS VOLUMES!!

Also, the are getting palpitatingly desperate, it is really beginning to show. I love it.

[TheBlueMax]

Yeah, they are, but the flags will be in the dumpster after the event is concluded.

But, but, but...they’re waving the flag!

Yeah....but they don’t honor it, pledge to it, serve it, die for it. That’s reserved only for Dear Leader.

I swear. I cannot WAIT until the day when I NEVER SEE that damned ‘Obama Logo’ again. It can’t get here soon enough.

“I swear. I cannot WAIT until the day when I NEVER SEE that damned ‘Obama Logo’ again. It can’t get here soon enough.”

I wonder how much THAT stage cost to manufacture. The amount of PROPAGANDA that they continue to dump on us is AMAZING!!!!

Have you noticed that the color blue is always present when these wee-weenies come together. Whether it's a press conference ( where the people who are called upon are usually wearing blue ) or phony events like this.

[Dream Warrior]

Is there a hint? The obvious picture is placed on the FAR LEFT of the page.

[mojitojoe]

Stupid sheople, the dems have to pay them, give them free meals and make their signs to get them to show up. Half of them probably get their free food and haul as* out of there.

[Gondring]

Uh..."Dueling Buses," not "Deuling Busses."

Reading the title, I had hoped for something like...


but worried it might be like this...
