And the silliest tweet of the week goes to ... local GOP political consultant Dan Curry:

Curry's link takes you to a blog post on SEIU's national site describing a health care rally they held in D.C. yesterday.  It includes numerous pictures of SEIU members marching in SEIU t-shirts and carrying SEIU signs.

What Curry doesn't seem to understand is this: Astroturfing, by definition, involves an effort to hide the powerful political interests behind a supposedly "grassroots" action.  If such an interest doesn't "even try to disguise" its involvement -- as SEIU obviously didn't do in this case -- then the activist effort can't be described as astroturfing.  It's just called old-fashioned organizing.

Full disclosure: (The SEIU Illinois State Council sponsors this website.)
