    Well, ....not quite....


    Americans for Prosperity (AFP), the corporate front group founded in the 1980s by Koch Industries billionaire David Koch, worked closely with Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to orchestrate the anti-health reform rally today. As ThinkProgress reported yesterday, AFP has been encouraging right-wing activists to board their buses — free of charge — to attend the rally. While AFP does not disclose all of its corporate donors, foundations controlled by David and Charles Koch provide millions in yearly funding, and David continues to chair the AFP foundation and preside over AFP’s annual convention.

    ThinkProgress found at least a dozen AFP staffers standing at their designated bus drop off point near the Capitol, handing out signs, directions, talking points, pe ions, and donuts to protesters. Many of the people who work at AFP are longtime Republican operatives, like Ben Marchi, the AFP Virginia director who previously worked for the National Republican Congressional Committee and for Rep. Tom Delay (R-TX). Victor Zapanta produced this video report of AFP staffers talking about their exploits at the rally today:

    AFP STAFFERS: We have 25 buses just from Pennsylvania, New Jersey we probably have 5 or 6 from Maryland.

    AFP STAFFERS: We have about 40 buses coming

    ...FAKERS.....sponsored by a billionaire front group....just saw a report on the Bachmann protest...ABC called in a 'populist GOP protest' and then showed the front of the crowd with the reporter describing how 'huge' the crowd was... but ABC must not have had a helicopter available (yea, right) cause they showed no pictures from the air...guess that wouldn't have been 'fair and balanced'....

    They could not show air pictures because of the media blackout on the thousands of floating bodies leftover from LA.

    No kidding. Liberal rags that lie or stretch the truth? Whio believes them.

    Now even if it's true, why is it OK for liberals to bus in protestors, but not conservatives?

    Do as I say not as I do by chance?

    Vote democrat... The party of Hypocricy!
