I heard alot of this yesterday when I was flipping back and forth to Faux. Some of the talkers outright accused the President of orchestrating the protests.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) accused President Obama’s political supporters of “meddling” in the ongoing protests against Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) controversial budget plan.

The Speaker said the president’s political organization is “colluding” with special interest groups like labor unions to stifle Walker’s proposal, which would limit collective-bargaining rights for state workers and make them pay for their pension and health benefits.

Boehner comments came in response to reports that activists from Organizing for America, the grassroots arm of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), have traveled to Wisconsin to help organize rallies in support of the public workers.

DNC spokesman Hari Sevugan replied that his organization’s role is being exaggerated to pull attention away from grassroots protesters in Wisconsin.
