I’d hardly call the protest groups ‘bogus’.

The right-leaning people I know who are participating are angrier with the Repooplicans for selling them out.

They also go out of their way to point out that at least the Democraps were up front about it.

Notice also the rising focus on bogus protest groups and organizations? Speaking of that, recall the massive but now-silent “911 Truth Movement”, another well-funded “protest group” with a rather Orwellian agenda? Or how about the “public protest” of Clinton in the late 1990s? Then you’ve got undercover police dressing up in black masks at NAFTA and G20 protests and going on rampages for the cameras? See the Guardian UK:

“The police have been talking up violence at the G20 protests for weeks,” writes Monbiot. “The way officers tooled themselves up in riot gear and waded into a peaceful crowd this afternoon makes it look almost as if they were trying to ensure that their predictions came true.”

Or how about the curious “Recreate 68″ campaign sponsored by the Amy Goodman’s Ford Foundation-financed Democracy Now! outfit? Set up to target Democrats, not Republicans – ever wonder about that? In 1968, the party in power was the Democrats, true – but any real “Recreate 68″ campaign in 2008 would have targeted Republicans, not Democrats.

There’s a lot of propaganda on the left and on the right – much of it financed by opaque private foundations.

Dick’s Tea Parties are the front stage action, intended to involve and manipulate the masses.

His money changing at DLA Piper is the back stage stuff. That’s where the Reds and Blues compete hardest. It’s over Greenbacks.

When a “communist, socialist, fascist” President Obama meets with CEO’s and talks about lowering corporate income taxes over time, that’s back stage stuff. It also shows the front stage to be an abject farce.

Another hiccup in the script of the Red team is Ken Duberstein. He sat on the board of Fannie Mae from 1998-2007. SEC filings indicate Mr. Duberstein got over $1.8 million in consulting fees for regulatory consultation.

Ken was President Reagan’s Chief of Staff and chaired the George W. Bush transition team in 2000.

I’ve noticed a pattern in the media. Presidential Chiefs of Staff are rarely mentioned as likely influence peddlers. Clinton’s Mack McLarty is up to his boots in corporate machinations as Senior Adviser to The Carlyle Group. What did Mack do to help his and Carlyle’s auto related investments since Wall Street imploded and people parked their wallets? You won’t see that story in the media.
