Read Michelle Malkin’s take on this.

David Axelrod is known for astroturfing — doing things in political campaigns he chalks up to grassroots efforts, when in fact it’s his political consulting firm at work, pretending to be unorganized average citizens.

You see this in the blogger attacks on anything anti-SoetorObama.  What might seem like individual SoetorObama supporters are actually coordinated, likely paid, SoetorObama campaign workers operating on the same directives, reading from the same script.

What the media calls SoetorObama’s “Youth Army” is largely an astroturf campaign, masquerading as grassroots support. THAT’S why SoetorObama does worse on election day compared to the manufactured polls — his support levels are inflated and average citizens aren’t voluntarily taking part in this “movement”. The movement is manufactured. The revolution will not be televised.
