Does Astroturf Give Off a Scent?

I had been meaning to call attention to this story for a while — a gunblogger noticed that two guys who have been promoting themselves as "Rednecks for Obama" do not seem to be what they claim to be.

Profiles of the two guys — I'm fairly certain I saw them outside the Pepsi Center at the Democratic convention in Denver this year — tout them as two men who "got politically active last year when it occurred to them there must be other lower income, rural, beer-drinking, gun-loving, NASCAR race enthusiasts fed up with business as usual in Washington."

Except that they have a long record of donating to Democratic candidates, and only Democratic candidates, in Missouri. And the mailing address for their "Rednecks for Obama" merchandise just happens to be in the same building as an Obama campaign office. Hmmmm...
