Did Putin Astroturf the Libertarian Ron Paul Revolution?

4. You taught me a new word today Celerity

I had never seen astroturf used as a verb and I thought you we’re getting creative… looked it up works perfectly:

verb
1.
cover (an athletic field or other area) with a layer of Astroturf.
"astroturfed tennis courts"
2.
disguise (an orchestrated marketing or public relations campaign) in such a way as to present it as having arisen from unsolicited public comments.

Thanks for that small bit of learning on a wednesday morning. Have a great day!
