Health reformers targeting 'enemies'

The plan for a series of grass-roots demonstrations Tuesday to promote President Obama's health care agenda calls for tightly scripted events and an "escalation" of efforts against "enemies" of reform.

Organizers insist there is no comparison to rowdy summer town hall meetings and recent "tea party" protests that have challenged White House policies.

But Health Care for America Now (HCAN), which is backed by a coalition of labor unions and liberal groups including ACORN and MoveOn.org, organized the protests to target insurance companies and drafted the plan, which describes the demonstrations as part of its "insurance enemies project."

Just wait until you need an operation under National Socialist Health Care, and the commissars find your name on a list of “enemies.”

Can you say, “Death Panel?”

I wonder how much these ‘grass roots’ demonstrators are getting paid; and is it a per hour or per demonstration fee. Just curious!

True, because these boys and girls of Summer didn't bring baseball bats like Obie's Astroturf Thugs will.

I don’t think everything Obama supporters do is about race.

They must be paid. They never do these protests on a weekend.
My guess this is their job.

It's interesting that “Alinski’s Rules for Radicals” describes opposition as the “enemies”. Is there any correlation here?

[boycott]

The fact that old battle axe hag tell us all we need to know about our government. This plastic-face woman gets in front of us and actually cries because we’re not agreeing with her.

I wouldn’t mind if the people that put her into office didn’t fall off into the Pafic Ocean. Trash like this has all but destroyed this nation.

0bama’s “Enemies List” is longer than Nixon’s.

[JimRed]

The only way to be sure will be to infiltrate them and report back. Volunteers?

[rabidralph]

By their professionally printed and duplicated signs you shall know them.

They won't shoot you, they just won't give you a medically required shot. Execution by proxy, by denying antibiotics and insulin? ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

And they didn't come in on union-chartered buses, wearing red shirt paid for by the union, with printed posters paid for by the union.
