Faux-Populism

That's what Moe Lane is calling the anti-TEA Party movement. Erick Erickson points out that the White House's Cass Sunstein has suggested "creating fake websites and using outside 501(c)(3) interest groups to act as alleged independent champions of government policy and to 'cognitively infiltrate' opposition websites, etc." and that it looks suspiciously like The Other 95% and other anti-TEA Party groups.

This is an administration bent on controlling not only the political arm of government but the communications arm, as well, and discrediting critics is a major step in that direction.
