More Astroturf

Has this been widely reported outside the conservative b'sphere? President Obama bused supporters to his Portsmouth, N.H. health care townhall yesterday. Opponents showed up early in the morning and waited in the rain; supporters of government medicine were bused in and directed by a guy with a bullhorn. Here is a very short clip that includes a shot of Obamabots getting off the bus:

A longer report from a local TV station is here.

You really can't make this stuff up. The Democrats mutter darkly about opposition to their power grab being orchestrated by some sinister forces, when in fact it's just citizens showing up. But it's easy to see why, when they see large numbers of people opposing their plans, they think it must be Astroturf: if that many people were showing up on their side, it would be.
