Debby Smith, Just Another in a Long List of Democrat Pawns
Vocal Minority ^ | 7/5/09 | EricTheRed_VocalMinority

There she was in front of the camera for all America to see. Stricken with cancer, frightened, helpless, weeping. Then came the hug from the compassionate President Obama. It was one of the most poignant moments of Obama’s health care infomercial broadcast on ABC News.

Who would not have voted to pass Obama’s nationalized health care plan right there at that very moment?

Which was exactly Obama’s plan.

Virtually everyone knows someone suffering with cancer like 53-year-old Debby Smith, and would do almost anything to ease their pain. But Ms. Smith’s unfortunate situation notwithstanding, it was soon found out that she was a Democrat activist who was ostensibly planted by the Obama team in order to garner support for his nationalized health plan. As Philip Klein at the American Spectator’s blog writes:

As underhanded as it was by the Obama team to use a cancer patient to push a program, this is one of the most frequently used tactic from the Democrat play book.

When it comes to selling a new policy or program on the American people, the Democrats are worse than a used-car dealers. Using only the most recent issues— C(r)ap and Trade bill and nationalized healthcare—as examples, you will find a plethora of tactics perfected by the best of snake-oil salesmen. For instance, they regularly use tactics like suppressing vital information that could thwart their agenda, such as scientific findings that would obliterate any necessity for the C(r)ap and Trade bill (see here and here).

I still remember Slick Willie using this tactic when he had a plant stand up and read him the riot act over abortion during one of his “town hall” gigs. A couple tears and a big hug from der Schlickmeister and all was right with the world again. Phony balony is one of the ‘RATS most successful tactics. The morons fall for it every time.

No. It was some female who looked a lot like she might be a DemocRAT. Having said that, I bet that “pony-tailed guy” is in hog heaven right now with Papa Baracko and Mama Michelle looking out for him. He was wanting a cradle to grave gig and now he’s going to get it.

Thanks for the tip. Don’t remember that particular instance, then again I was in my 20’s and still (politically speaking) a young skull full of mush. But I wouldn’t put anything past Slick Willie
