Democratic clubs from colleges across the country are sending buses to the event, offering a seat in exchange for a few hours of volunteer time. President Obama, who seemed to talk up the rally at an event last month, is expected to appear on Stewart's "The Daily Show" just a few days before. And when the Huffington Post's Arianna Huffington announced on the show that she would be offering free transportation to thousands of takers from New York City, she tried to cast herself and Stewart as collaborators in the progressive movement. "You work on the message," she told him. "I'll work on the logistics."

Gee, where is Nancy Pelosi talking about "astroturf" now?

Tea Party events thrown together by regular folks and attended by massive crowds = Not REAL voice of the masses

TV Channel/Celebrity-sponsored events talked up by members of the government = Genuine political activism????

The Left are so full of crap they shouldn't bother with the porta potties, they can fertilize the nation's farmland for centuries. They've completely betrayed their pose of being about "the people not the powerful."

Really! Funny when 0bama spoke here at Cuyahoga Community College, Param, Ohio (democrat stronghold) they had to recruit students minutes before his speech to fill ticketed seats. The boots on the grounds that day said the organizers had to really struggle to find students who wanted to participate. Ticketed seats, tickets given out or sold, and enough "no shows" they had to recruit unwilling students. Hmmmm....Operation Ticket Master?

The kids may go for the free trip, free seats, and volunteer time credit. I guess that's what irks me the most...volunteer time credit.

I have a better idea, send them to the unemployment office to volunteer a few hours there. Send them to the nearest food pantry to help hand out food. Have them assist at the food distribution points for Angel Food Ministries. They will learn more about America and the people in it, than any stupid Union,TV show sponsored rally.

Ah...but I rant at a propaganda event.
