OFA Using Specter Of Tea Bag Shout Downs To Draw Out Health Care Reform Allies [Thug call]
Talking Points Memo, covering Organizing for America ^ | Aug 5, 2009 | Brian Beutler

Posted on 08/05/2009 9:21:05 AM PDT by PapaBear3625

President Obama's political outfit, Organizing for America, is now trying to entice supporters to show up at health care events in order to make sure tea party protesters are outnumbered.

Today, Vice President Joe Biden will be speaking in Michigan, and OFA wants to make sure he can. "Organized mobs across the country are intimidating lawmakers, disrupting events, and silencing discussions about the change our country needs," reads a letter from OFA's Michigan State Director to Obama allies. "The challenges our country faces are simply too great to let these debates be overrun by those angrily shouting down change"

You can read the entire letter below the fold. OFA joins its kissing cousin the DNC, along with Democratic party leaders in strongly denouncing the shout downs. Republicans, meanwhile, continue to (at least) tacitly endorse these activities.

The Obamanoids is upset at the prospect of their "Health Care Reform" getting derailed. They are calling for activists to show up, crowd out, and intimidate into silence anybody who speaks out against The One.

Be prepared.

A phonecall to ACORN should get his wish granted.

If they aren’t careful they will start riots in the process. They will use their people and blame the Republicans. What they don’t realize is that many, many, many are democrats. It’s past party lines now, it’s taking in the whole country.

Sounds like they’re setting up a rumble.

0 sure is doing great on delivering that unity he promised. But I guess what that really means is that he shoves socialism down our throats and we’re not allowed to whimper.

I love how when we organize it’s a “mob”. Let’s just say we’re “organizing for America.”

This would appear to be the place where the tectonic plates of freedom and tyranny are meeting. So yes, I expect that very soon one of these town hall meetings will turn violent.

Because soon, patriots will remember that the traitorous congressman in front of you is, via his support of a deliberate sub-par and eugenicist “health” care system, is putting THEIR families in danger just as real as if the congressman were holding a gun to their family’s heads.

And the patriots will do what they always do when their families are being threatened: end the threat, by any means necessary.

And that is as good a place as any for The Beginning.

On the streets of Detroit, they figure they will have numbers on their side.

They don’t have to worry as much about the “mob” of people showing up to protest.

It’s when they give up on protesting that they have to worry.

That’s when the deer rifles come out.

Anything the government does is ultimately at gunpoint.

Time to let them know how that feels.
