Astroturf Group

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
"That Astroturf Group are really annoying" Bob said.

astrotard

1. A super 'tard.

2. Someone who messes up so bad they cannot even ride the short bus.
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.

astroturf

v. The technique of using boiler plate text to advance a political agenda. "Astroturfing" is typically done by sending the same letter to every newspaper one can find. A certain number of newspapers will be duped into thinking that the letter is original and heartfelt when it is neither.
Many newspapers were astroturfed with the pro-Bush letters posted at the pResident's web site. Many newspapers were convinced that a number of soldiers worship Bush as the Messiah incarnate.
