As Lew pointed out a few days ago, some Obama supporters are coming of their own volition and for love of country, however many of his “supporters” are rented for about $15/hour.
Bernie Goldberg here on phony protesters. He wags a finger at both sides but here’s my favorite:

So much for that liberal Democratic mantra repeated often during the Bush years about how dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Suddenly dissent is terrorism. Besides, it’s just not good strategy to malign the protestors. The polls are showing that more Americans side with them than disagree with them. And don’t forget, more than a few of the protestors are Democrats themselves. They’ll remember what they were called and how they were portrayed next time they go to the polls. You know what they say about payback being a you-know-what.

And then there’s the matter of rank hypocrisy. These same lefties who are in a tizzy over old people who carry canes and wear Depends getting rowdy at town hall meetings, have encouraged their own crazies to do the exact same thing. Can you say ActUp … Code Pink …ANSWER … and ACORN? These are organizations whose members think they have a constitutional right to shout down conservative speakers — or throw pies in their face.
