Michigan Liberal: Dingle Townhall on Healthcare May be Disrupted by Rightwing Thugs
Michigan Liberal ^ | 8/4/09 | Michigan Liberal

U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, is holding a health care town hall at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Romulus Athletic Center, 35765 Northline Road in Romulus, and there are plans by right wing thugs, stealthy organized by a rightwing lobbyist group, to disrupt the meeting. MSNBC host Rachel Maddow reported last night on a plan by the Washington, DC-based, rightwing think tank and lobbying firm Freedom Works, chaired by former U.S. House Majority Leader and rightwing Republican Dick Armey, to disrupt town hall meetings as members of Congress return to the district for summer break and meet with constituents. You may remember this group from their organization of the so-called "tea parties" with another rightwing lobbying group, Americans for Prosperity (AFP).

Maddow reported on a leaked memo from a Freedom Works lobbyist that has a script and instructions on how to shout down the speaker, intimidate anyone objecting and how to disrupt the meeting.

LOL. Instructions on how to shout down a speaker.

How stupid do they think people are? Who needs instructions on how to shout down a speaker. You shout. Who knew?

... I’m attempting to coinvince these young mush filled heads that NAZI was the german communist party - i.e. National Socialist Workers party. Amazing venom and denial from the liberal idiots in their attempt to equate nazi and fascism as right wing conservative. Blooming idiots.

That is typical of the Left, to accuse their opponents of being them while claiming they are the opposite. That is what we are seeing here.
