As I
indicated in Monday's column we should expect an all out effort by liberals in
entertainment and the media to ridicule voices of opposition to what Democrats
in Congress are doing; and they have been. This week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
joined them.
Speaking
to San Francisco's
KTUV News, Pelosi, referring to angry people at Democrat's town-hall meetings,
said "This [tea party] initiative is funded
by the high end--we call call it Astroturf, it’s not really a grassroots
movement. It’s astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep
the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class."

Far-left liberals like Speaker Pelosi refuse to recognize
that Americans, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, are genuinely
concerned and angry. The Democratic Congress is mortgaging the country's future
for programs (the stimulus package) that haven't worked and reforms in energy
and healthcare that won't affect climate change or improve American's quality
of life. They feel like they're getting the bums rush.
Anti-war protests during the Bush administration and
pro-healthcare-reform rallies organized by the Obama administration are
described as grassroots expressions. Those the left disagrees with are
'Astroturf.' What's new?
