I am so glad this is being revealed now. It's not exactly new, but this is the perfect time.

Why? Because Google Bus Protests, that's why. This is a chance for the people and the engineers to line up, shoulder to shoulder, on the same side and take down the fuckers who've become the elite of this system.

The resistance begins.

Er yeah. The 'people' i.e. astroturfed left-wing activists are protesting the employees, not the CEOs.

Please. I know activists like the Google bus protesters. I'd call them protest enthusiasts, and usually less than half work for professional activist outfits. Most have regular jobs and just love to protest.

The "astroturf" is fwd.us and peers.org are pure astroturf. You can't even get a political position out of them until their lobbyists have written the legislation and tried to insert it into some bill.

False dichotomy. Both are astroturf.
