    "Astro Turf." Fake grassroots. It’s what you get when big business and rich zealots hire pricey consultants to manufacture public outrage. With big budgets, limitless manpower, sophisticated targeting, and a sympathetic media channel, it's not difficult to generate anger. And that’s exactly what’s going on with today’s tea parties

    Whether these so-called tea parties originated as grassroots events or not, they have become nothing more than Astroturf outrage generated by Fox News and corporate-financed consultants. $aveTheRich.com is dedicated to documenting these efforts, so we created a clearinghouse of information to expose the truth behind the so-called “Tax Day Tea Parties” being held around the country. And so far, the tell-tale signs of Astro Turf are everywhere:

skippy @ la teabagging party

Read Original Story
Excerpt: 

pretty uneventful @ the la/south bay teabagging party today in los angeles. it was quite cold @ dockweiller beach, and i'd estimate about 500-600 people were there by the time i gave up and left to go have lunch in some place warm.

the speaker was surprisingly not crazy, and the signage was also not too much off the deep end. the worst i saw was calling obama a fascist.

tammy bruce also showed up to speak, but i left in the middle of her rant.

all in all i would say these teabaggers were actually pretty sane. tho i don't agree w/their point of view, i will fight to the death for their right to peacefully assemble and express it.

Well everyone nice job. Feel free to hack my account all you want but I just have one simple question you brainwashed Obama-worshipping leftists cant answer-give one, just one one, honest pure piece of evidence that the Tea Parties were led, controlled, or manipulated at all by Fox News. How did you ever figure Fox news was in favor of a limited, or Constitutional government? I, personally cannot stand watching Fox news due to there terror and warmongering, govt manufactuuring and propaganda of a false pandemic-H1N1, and International governance. By the way, you socialists should be happy-News Corps (that owns Fox News) is now advocating global warming. Right Wing? You simple minded dupes. Obama is going to bring more troops into Iraq and Afghanistan, Bush believed in a global carbon tax, and there is no difference between either parties at the national level. What Im against is the socialist-corporatist militarist lobbying-controlled police state that once was the U.S.A.
