Obamacare supporters have claimed that most of the opposition to President Obama’s health care plans have been “astroturfed,” meaning nefarious right-wing groups are stirring up fake “grassroots” artificially. However, the news that 60,000 people have dropped their membership in AARP since July, in protest to AARP’s support for Obama’s plans (though they deny having endorsed them), shows either a) genuine outrage, anger and opposition, or b) one heck of an astroturfing campaign.
