What's interesting is liberal acquaintances will steadfastly deny this is Obama's group, when a quick look at Google would straighten them out, or that Obama's group is attempting to interfere in Trump's presidency.

When they obviously are.
Trump is right libs.
Just shows how corrupt the Obama years really were.
With the end goal, a push towards Communism.
Obama does not actively run OFA. It was a spinoff of all the organizing done from his campaign as a way to keep the momentum going. But he is not actively involved with them.
Anyway, groups that train people for political action exist on the right as well. It's not a sinister conspiracy. People get angry, want to do something, and gravitate towards some like-minded organization or another to strategize about taking action.
It's just how organizing works. For YEARS. On all sides. Wasn't the Tea Party doing this stuff during the Obama years?
The idea that Obama is sitting somewhere in a bunker twirling his evil mustache plotting to take down Trump is really silly.

I don't remember how people assaulted others and burned buildings when Obama was elected. Can you refresh my memory on that? Has Obama condemned that behavior?
Obama has a responsibility, since he won't just go away, to set an example and speak out against the horror that some members of his party have become, not jump on the bandwagon. By now being part of the solution, Obama is part of the problem.
And, these are the sources selected by the very people who are saying that the "mainstream media" are fake news. Tabloid fiction, and youtube videos. Great, well documented sources. <snort>
.... and the New York Times, is a bastion of clarity?
Ya, nothing for the message? To say, look this is bogus and here is why.
First it was denied. Now it is demonized. All that is left is to deflect... Too late.
Hey, Bentbow, got a question for you.
Your "source" makes the claim that Obama and this organization, which I have never heard of until today, are paying to bus protestors to town halls. Trump makes a similar claim.
Now, I've been to a couple of in-state rallies, one of which was in Lawrenceburg, KY a week ago. Around 1,000 Kentuckians were outside the tiny Veterans of America hall where 50 people joined Republican Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell for a paid lunch (I suppose Mitch didn't have to pay). 30-40 of those paying guests were McConnell, and by association, Trump supporters. The remainder were not, but paid their ten dollars just to hear what he had to say and in hopes of being able to ask questions and get answers. That latter proved to be a vain hope.
Of the 1,000 additional people outside, who waiting patiently before, during and after the lunch, in hopes of being able to talk with Mitch McConnell, no one I met was from outside Kentucky, other than some news media, including the LA Times and CNN, both of whom wanted to talk with us, as did our Kentucky news outlets: newspapers, television, and radio. I didn't see a single bus, and no one seemed to have been paid a penny to attend. All of the private cars in the grassy field nearby which served as a parking lot bore Kentucky license plates.
People I spoke with were from Lexington, Louisville, Ashland (at least three hours away), Frankfort, Berea, Loretto, and Georgetown, Kentucky. There were lots of women over 50 present, along with younger folks who had taken a vacation day or unpaid leave from their jobs. There were chaperoned high school American history students who'd been granted time off for this educational activity. There were Vietnam vets. There were older folks, some in wheelchairs. There were artists. There were professionals, many retired and others taking personal days for this weekday event. There were young parents with little ones in strollers. There were nuns from Loretto.
It was a diverse crowd in every way.
Lots of pictures and videos were taken. The crowd was outspoken but very well-mannered and peaceful. Not one scrap of litter was left behind - in fact, we picked up some which was there when we arrived and left the place cleaner than before.
Sadly for all, McConnell refused to stop and talk with us. Instead, he spoke disparagingly of us and of some others inside who asked him some polite but pointed questions, which he also refused to answer. He said that he was a winner and got to have his way and we were losers and should go home. He stated this to the dinner group within the American Legion Hall, whose surrounding fenced parking lot gate had been padlocked while he was inside. It was heavily guarded by local and state police, some of whom did smile and talk to those of us outside.
When McConnell's black SUV with dark-tinted windows and its police escort eventually left, it whizzed by at top speed, barely making the corner of the drive that bordered the area where the crowd of 1,000 Kentuckians was assembled. He didn't even wave, though we certainly did. We even waved the signs and American flags we'd brought to greet him. Just as we had done when he arrived. Sadly, he failed to acknowledge us then, either, even when we reminded him he worked for us.
He is supposed to work for us, just like President Trump. We are not happy with either gentleman's job performance. Time to put both on probation.
So - in light of all this personal documentation, can you find us a video or even a photograph of paid protestors emerging from or returning to a bus at any town hall or other meeting? Things like the Women's March don't count, since it took place prior to the town halls, and obviously marchers chartered buses from other states to attend.
Or, can you find a parking lot that is indisputably outside a town hall meeting, and which contains buses or cars from other states? Places like Louisville and Covington, Ky, both Ohio River towns, don't count, as some Indianans and Ohioans came across to participate, since McConnell is a senator and his actions affect all Americans. But if you can find, say, a Massachusetts or Texas or California license plate in a faraway state, that might be significant.
What I want is visual proof that outsiders, i.e. people from other states, were bused into state or local level town halls or paid events or fundraisers for Republican elected officials, and that their expenses were paid by others or that they were paid by Obama or Soros or someone else to attend, rather than getting their on their own dime and under their own steam. Undocumented claims and accusations from Twitter or the New York Post don't count.
I want visual proof. Can you provide it, please? Thank you.
