KT -

Do you or do you not concede that David Axelrod used the technique (and coined the term) “astroturfing?”

If you concede he has (not sure you do), does he stand above suspicion in using simillar techniques as a White House official?

Would not planting questions (an allegation made and supported before) be beyond such a person?

Should allegations simply be dismissed because you use an ad hominem against the person who linked the story?
