Political term that means pseudo-equal rights group or artifcial equal rights group. This groups or organizations tend to call them selves a organization that supports freedom and equality; however that is nothing more a backdrop for a biased unequal agenda.
Groups like Accuracy In Academia and Students for Academic Freedom are good exaples of Astroturf Groups. They put on the identity of being a organization that supports equality, but actually are trying to advance a political bias

Get the Astroturf Group mug.Jimmy(not real name), decided he had his truck paid off and did not need any insurance save liability. On the way home from the BBQ decided to take the grill home for his buddies. However the coals were still hot and the wind on the freeway knocked over the grill and excited the burning coals. Setting his truck on fire. Jimmy must have looked like a real astrotard standing beside the road watching his truck burn. True story.
