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

Fake it til you make it and become a real puppet master is the motto of an astroturf creator that really seems to believe that the turf they claimed as their own is really theirs to claim, offer others, or burn down, cut down, or demolish if they don't get their way or dollar signs.
He/she must have come from a planet where astroturf grows wild, because since he/she got here, he/she put down lots of it.
