Pelosi calls Tea Parties "astroturf"

If Tea Partiers didn't have enough to be angry about, this ought to help. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that the Tea Parties were "astroturf."Here is what she said on KTVU-SF San Francisco:
"What they want is a continuation of the failed economic policies of President George Bush which got us in the situation we are in now. What we want is a new direction.This tea party initiative is funded by the high end we call call it astroturf, it's not really a grassroots movement.It's astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich instead of for the great middle class."
Astroturfing is used to describe fake grassroots campaigns-get the full definition here.This will be music to Republican ears. The GOP has already been mentioning Pelosi in their fundraising emails and now they can use her to capitalize on the Tea Party movement now that the parties are over.Case in point: The National Republican Congressional Committee sent that quote out to its press list.
