Yes... please. I heard this astroturfiing comment on liberal talk radio this morning and by this evening I still have no idea what people are talking about.
Look up Rushs’ explanation of “Astro-turfing” in the programs notes of his 3rd hour of his 04 aug show. He explains it clearly and concisely.
It is ‘the creation of a myth’ pure and simple.
Astroturfing is a fake grassroots campaign. Dems pay people to get on a bus, hold signs, and protest, hence astroturfing. Republicans on the other hand get angry, talk to their friends, find out where to be and go, real grassroots.
