Who are the REAL astroturfers?

As the saying goes, "Me thinks thou doeth protest too much." Even as the Democrat White House points a finger at ordinary Americans, trying to paint them as "angry mobs" and "organized groups," the Democrats are hiring paid rent-a-protesters to show up at townhall meetings. In The Real AstroTurf, Investor's Business Daily editorialized:
Free Speech: The White House and Congress claim the anti-ObamaCare uprising is artificially organized. But the violent — even racist — union counterattacks, urged on by Democrats, are the real Rent-a-Mobs.
The good news: it sounds as if citizens are not being deterred by strong-arm tactics from the White House, as shown at Sen. Arlen Spector's (D-PA) townhall meeting this morning where he faced another angry group of constituents.

Are the real astroturfers the ones advertising for paid protesters ... or the citizens who truly care about their country and their futures? The smoke-and-mirrors tactics of the left have not fooled anyone.
