The plan for a series of grass-roots demonstrations Tuesday to promote President Obama’s health care agenda calls for tightly scripted events and an “escalation” of efforts against “enemies” of reform.
Organizers insist there is no comparison to rowdy summer town hall meetings and recent “tea party” protests that have challenged White House policies.
But Health Care for America Now (HCAN), which is backed by a coalition of labor unions and liberal groups including ACORN and MoveOn. org, organized the protests to target insurance companies and drafted the plan, which describes the demonstrations as part of its “insurance enemies project. ”
So these protests are highly scripted. Who wrote the script? The white house? This is what you call Astroturf. Its manufactured anger.
Also, libs pay people to protest.
