Anatomy of Nancy Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 7, 2009 11:43 PM

Madame Speaker Nancy Pelosi (affectionately known as Nancy Pelo-cchio among us “political terrorists” on the Right) snuck into a Denver health care clinic today, where she was greeted by 200 grass-roots protesters against socialized medicine — and a handful of Obama-bots and union members carrying identical HCAN signs.

I already noted this morning how one of the Obamacare activists yanked an anti-Pelosi sign out of a protester’s hands. Brown shirt, anyone?

There’s much more.

Denver photojournalist El Marco was at the event and has an amazing pictorial essay detailing how Pelo-cchio’s Astroturf brigade had to be coached by professional organizers — including several day laborers who didn’t speak English and couldn’t tell what the signs they were holding read. And they accuse Tea Party folks of being puppets?!

Authenticity!

Elsewhere in Colorado, Rep. Jared Polis gets and earful.

And “mobsters” in Longmont respond to the Democrat smears.
