President Obama and top Democrats on Wednesday vowed to push back against angry critics of their health-care overhaul, who have threatened to hijack the debate by purposefully disrupting town halls and other public events convened by Democratic lawmakers this week.
The leader of House Republicans responded by saying that "Democrats are in denial" in dismissing the objections as a fringe movement, "instead of acknowledging the widespread anger millions of Americans are feeling this summer." Conservative groups opposed to the health-care plan have asked their supporters to flood public gatherings featuring members of Congress. From Pennsylvania to Texas to Wisconsin, Democrats have been confronted in recent days by sometimes belligerent attacks against Obama's health-care plan. In one incident, on Maryland's Eastern Shore, an effigy of freshman Rep. Frank Kratovil Jr. (D-Md.) was hanged from a noose outside his district office.
The increasingly vocal opposition provoked Democrats to respond Wednesday.
The Democratic National Committee released a Web advertisement that alleges, "Desperate Republicans and their well-funded allies are organizing angry mobs" to "destroy President Obama and stop the change Americans voted for overwhelmingly in November."

“vowed to push back against angry critics of their health-care overhaul,”
Regardless of the number or identity of those angry critics. Ya, Obama, we hear you, and appreciate the implication this has for our democracy. Like it or not, it’s change you can believe.
Presently, I have been unable to find out where my Rep, Glenn Nye, will be during the break. It’s nowhere on his website. I sent in an email, as no one is answering the phone.
Reminds me of that Roy Orbison song, “Running Scared.” The louder they squeal, the more we know we are getting to them.
wtf?
What makes you think there will BE another election?
Makes perfect sense to wage war against the American people over health care - if you’re an angry marxist.
To be honest I enjoy reading about post-apocalyptic society but I don’t fancy living in it. I can’t afford a gun just yet and I know I’d probably be one of the first to go.
That sounded creepy :(
Are attendees to assume then that dissent is not to be tolerated and the underailed trains to reeducation centers and ‘nursing care’ facilities are being warmed up?
