ASTROTURF: Protest Bust: Lots Of Media, Just One Bus Of Protesters.

Compare with this.

And here’s another report on ACORN’s bus tour. Excerpt:

The protest at AIG was fake and contrived. There was no authentic popular anger on display, just staged photo-ops by professional protestors from ACORN. My only surprise was that ACORN did not even attempt to pretend that this was being run by the supposed sponsor, the ACORN front group Working Families Party.

There were more media in attendance than protestors, and it was so staged and artificial that all the media wanted to do was get a few pics and get out of there before Starbucks closed.

Plus, numerous photos from the scene and an amusing parody poster.
