“I’m disappointed that instead of providing similar leadership from the White House, the president has chosen to attack leaders such as Gov. Walker, who are listening to the people and confronting problems that have been neglected for years at the expense of jobs and economic growth,” Boehner said in a statement. “I urge the president to order the DNC to suspend these tactics.”

Right, right. Sure. How about from OFA's own website?
This country has become corrupt and underhanded and dirty politics are played right out in the open.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit if this were true.
Someone always has an agenda and there are plenty of groups willing to "do what it takes" to promote or demote issues.
I do not give a crap what Rush says, I have eyes and I see what Obama is doing, the slithery little snake
he is trying like hell to hold on to his union votes
he does not have the balls to do anything good for our counrty he has been so busy playing golf and paying off the very people that got him elected, the unions~
I believe before all of this is over with Obama will be flushed down the toilet just like his buddy Jimmy Carter
if he cared a flip he would be calling out the cowardly democrats that fled rather than debate the bill and cast their vote, back off Obama and balance the fed budget
this just really pisses me off
The president's political machine worked in close coordination Thursday with state and national union officials to mobilize thousands of protesters to gather in Madison and to plan similar demonstrations in other state capitals.
The White House political operation, Organizing for America, got involved Monday, after Democratic National Committee Chairman Timothy M. Kaine, a former Virginia governor, spoke to union leaders in Madison, a party official said.
The group made phone calls, distributed messages via Twitter and Facebook, and sent e-mails to its state and national lists to try to build crowds for rallies Wednesday and Thursday, a party official said.
Is this really what the president of the US should be doing?
But of course, he has a huge debt to repay to the unions, doesn't he?

Reason: off topic
In reading the page to which you linked, it looks to me as if it's a state by state organizing - meaning those within the state who belong to OFA are assisting in organizing protests in each state. It says nothing about them "sending in protesters".

Look one post up, to the WaPo link - trying to build crowds.
OfA Wisconsin's field efforts include filling buses and building turnout for the rallies this week in Madison, organizing 15 rapid response phone banks urging supporters to call their state legislators, and working on planning and producing rallies, a Democratic Party official in Washington said.
That's what activists do..organize. The bigger the crowd, the more important the message becomes.
There is a growing unrest bubbling in America. They must know of some hidden money that that rest of us don't know about. The unions seem to be putting themselves above what is going on and think they are exempt from all other workers are going through.
Rush apparently says so. Guess its not surprising. I believe this is the group that has Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" on its recommended reading list!
Neither of those says anything about "bringing protesters in from out of state" which is what the OP infers.
