Writer blames MoveOn for Astroturf campaign - while running editorial astroturf campaign


For some time I've noticed whatever attack the right launches against the left it seems to be because they know all about it from doing it themselves. The latest case in point involves similar unsigned identical editorials showing up in newspapers around the country. Would you believe the one writer has been tracked down? For those who don't know, astroturf is a supposedly grass roots mail or email campaign with a central organization providing the materials to be copied and sent. In this case it seems they have moved from simple astroturf to owner's box carpeting. This writer just recently wrote an Op-Ed deploring MoveOn's email writing campaigns.
