This was not a spontaneous reaction. They had a few days to plan. “Grassroots” has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t mean the same thing as “spontaneous.”

P.S.

What this indicates to me is the grassroots folks are getting better organized and getting away from that carnival atmosphere they were emulating until very recently.

Lloyd Doggett is Texas’ own Arlen Specter. Completely without principle and like the California dirt bags, he is from Travis County (Austin) the only county in Texas that is as full of witless liberals as the California Bay Area (Berkley, etc.)

The only advantage Texans living in Austin have on election day is being able to decide who to vote for — whoever is running against Doggett.

Of course it wasn’t spontaneous. The critter’s Townhall meeting was planned and PEOPLE went. It’s just that the people that went didn’t like or agree with what he’s doing. Like most politicians, he’d rather be idolized than castigated. The minute he tastes strong opposition from the PEOPLE, he screams that it’s a plot.

P.S. I only used the term “Grassroots” because it was in the title.

Great stuff. Make him keep telling the media this isn’t ‘grass roots effort’ when they interview the “Joe the Plumber” types from down the block. What a knucklehead!

He needs to become more afraid of his constituents than he already is of Nancy Pelosi.

Durbin is my senator, not by choice,and I wonder if he is going to have a town hall meeting I could attend.

I hope you realize I was not coming down on you. I was just sharing my observations.

Living outside of our country, I did not like what I saw with the grassroots folks. They can argue this, but it was not a real serious movement until maybe now…if yet.

Just look at photos from the past. Everyone is having a wonderful time laughing and carrying on to include taking their children with them.

EXCELLENT!

THAT’S what I’ve been talking about for a YEAR now.

That has three times the impact of a ‘Tea Party’, folks.

Thank you! You guys and gals are great Americans!

When the people are afraid of their government there is tyranny. When the government is afraid of the people, there is freedom.

“...the grassroots folks are getting better organized”

Exactly.

Folks, it is LEFTIST 101 to try to move the message that an organized group of people is somehow ‘less important’, or ‘guilty’ of SOMETHING for DARING to act against them.

DON’T FALL FOR THIS TACTIC.

OF COURSE they don’t want you to organize. Of course they would love to use language to intimidate, and demoralize you—you are a clear and present threat to their AWFUL agenda and their scheming.

Who the hell cares if it wasn’t ‘grassroots’—those are real AMERICANS with hearts beating out there, not mannequins!

Screw these a-holes for trying to silence them!

Learn their game so you don’t fall victim to it. The left is almost GENIUS in their subversive tactics, and shameless in their efforts to demoralize American citizens—fight them!

I’m proud to call those people my fellow Americans and my friends!

Keep it up, America!

“This was not a spontaneous reaction. They had a few days to plan. ‘Grassroots’ has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t mean the same thing as spontaneous.”

Like I said, who cares?

The left has been organizing, plotting, scheming FOR DECADES!

Why all of a sudden is it a crime to take a few days to ORGANIZE against THEM?

We have the right to ASSEMBLE. It takes communication and planning to create an ASSEMBLY.

It’s a right we were born with.

LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Screw this ‘grassroots’ BS, if you can read the poll numbers of late IT’S NO FRICKIN’ MYSTERY THAT AMERICANS DON’T WANT CIVIL SERVANTS PROVIDING THEM WITH SH*T-POOR MEDICINE!

More LEFTIST 101 is to cry like babies, play the victim to the hilt when an American stands up to them—WHILE THEIR HOLDING A DAGGER BEHIND THEIR BACKS WAITING FOR YOU TURN YOURS!

We must fight them any way we can. Our ancestors are watching and wondering just how will their descendants act. Will we defend our BASIC freedom or will their suffering and sacrifices have been in vain?

Again, Bravo, Americans!

You have won the day, but the war goes on!

He will find out just how grass roots this movement is after the next election.

Your right about that. But IMO, the gleefulness of the first Tea Parties was because folks were happily surprised at the size of the turnouts. Happy that so many others saw things the same way.
These Town Hall protests are good, but Sept 12 may be what will make the critters really pay attention.
