Dems bring in crowds by the busload to fill stadium for Obama speech.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.

Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.

Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.

It seems odd that 0 bummer has to preach to his choir at his convention. Recent articles have him in trouble with college grads.

One of my oldest friends is a black man who is very excited about this and is going to make the two hour drive down. He has tickets for himself, a few family members and a friend or two, but says he’s trying to get tickets for his (large) church and can’t get them. I told him the news I’ve read indicates a fear that Bank Of America Stadium will not be filled and that they’re practically giving tickets away for Thursday night.

Can someone please direct me to a definitive, authoritative source that can provide him tickets? It’ll help get him out of the Dem media bubble he’s been living under for one thing, lol, and for another they really want to go, bless their hearts.

Forecasts indicate a 50% chance of thunderstorms Thursday.

Will they have steel folding chairs to use as umbrellas again?

What are they bribing these people with?...If you remember, four years ago we had people who said “ He gonna get me a new kitchen”, “I don’t gotta pay rent no more”, “I’m gonna go on vacation next year”, because that is EXACTLY what they promised. The Dems are racist to the core. Instead of building people UP, they tore them down with “These dumb asses will believe all this shiite”

Wikipedia missed the mark trying to explain “Astroturfing”.

No mention at all of David Axlerod?

How come every time there's an event for Democrats, there are buses involved?

Oh that's right: Republicans have jobs and drive themselves.

Astroturfing a stadium, how common!

A union guy told me of his trip to Wisconsin from suburban Chicago.
They provided coffee&donuts, bag lunch, sit down supper and ride on half empty bus.

And they found him a job soon after!

Total cost? $$$

Will there be armed guards preventing the audience from leaving until after the ceremony? Will attempted deserters be threatened and driven back into the stadium? Will they be allowed to leave if it rains?

missed the mark

Missed or skilfully steered clear.
The idea behind it is there ,but very deeply buried.

I hope that Breitbart, PJMedia and those folks get there with a video and ask who these people are, and who’s paying for it all.

I thought black churches weren’t having anything to do with Barry over his gay “marriage” support.

In the end, the politics of black racism & plantation studity will win out, and 98% of the black (those who aren't passed out on crack or cheap wine), will pull the lever for the commie pig muzzlim 0dumb0. 0dumb0 could rape, murder & roast a young black girl on stage at the DNC convention, and 98% of the plantation blacks would still vote for him.

Gay marriage is far, far down on the list of No-No's for the special protected black minority class in America. Voting for a skin color and keeping their free food stamps, housing, gubmint provided cell phones, black flash mobs, etc. are all far more important that gay marriage to these phony black "christian" churches.
