“We’ve Hired Skilled, Grassroots Organizers…”
The title of this piece is a quotation from a post today at MoveOn.org, where they’re gathering funds to hire grassroots organizers. Michelle Malkin has the original text posted, although now it’s morphed into this (the emphasis is theirs):
All across the country, right-wing extremists are disrupting congressional town hall meetings with venomous attacks on President Obama’s plans for health care and clean energy. If these are the only voices our senators and representatives hear over the recess, we’ll have a hard time passing health care reform and clean energy legislation. We’ve got a plan to fight back. We blew through our first goal of $250,000, so we’ve set a new goal that will let us deploy even more organizers and more technology.
I’m scratching my head, here. Where does one hire a grassroots organizer? I thought grassroots organizers were all… I dunno… grassroots. Volunteers. Ordinary folks, rather than paid political organizers.
Sounds like an astroturf campaign to me. I’m just sayin’.

Where the heck does the projecting end with these people – the MSM and the Dems?
Honestly, the chutzpah is surreal. I expect some mild mannered, 40ish Republican hardware store owner to get kneecapped in front of his kids by a group of Union goons at some townhall meeting. Then Nancy Pelosi will immediately call a press conference to decry the violent tactics of the extreme right wing.
Barack won, but I don’t think that meant that he had a mandate to summarily turn the country into an expanded version of Sweden governed by a billy club armed coalition of Acorn and Code Pink.
These leftist wackos continue to overreach, and I think there is beginning to be some push back.

I understand the president has skills at this…and probably contacts as well. Maybe we should ask him …

When “the boss” is a retired “grassroots organizer,” what term could possibly be more natural?
I’m sure that they don’t see any irony here at all.

OK, I’ve done my job and reported moveon as fishy… 
Of course, my email has probably been marked as spam by now, that or I am on the list!
I get the left, less and less everyday.
