The Democratic Party is panicking, lashing out like a cornered animal, all because its effort to take over the health care industry is coming apart like so much wet toilet paper.
Nancy Pelosi, who will get her own bound volume in the annals of asininity, has outdone herself. When asked by a reporter whether the protests at various town hall meetings represented legitimate grassroots opposition or were manufactured "Astroturf" stunts, she replied, "I think they're Astroturf. You be the judge. They're carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care."
Now this is a pas de trois of dishonesty, slander and idiocy. Not only is Pelosi lying when she says protestors are bringing swastikas to these town halls, not only is she suggesting that American citizens are Nazis for having the effrontery to get in the way of ObamaCare, but she's also saying that the alleged swastikas are obvious proof that these protests are manufactured by slick P.R. gurus.
How does that work? What public relations genius says: "OK, we need these protests to seem like an authentic backlash of real Americans. Make sure everyone has enough Nazi paraphernalia!"
Meanwhile, Sen. Barbara Boxer insists the protests have to be fake because the protestors are too "well-dressed." Likewise, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs says this is all "manufactured anger" because the protestors -- he calls them the "Brooks Brothers Brigade" -- are too tastefully appointed to be authentic protestors. Apparently only filthy hippies can petition government.

You got to love it, most fun we have had in years (like 15 years 1994)
I love the smell of Rat fear in the morning. It smells like victory.
Brad Ellsworth did NOT have a townhall meeting yesterday afterall. It was closed-door, by appointment, 15 minutes sessions with small groups.
This one really leaves a mark.
Isn’t Nancy Pelosi a national embarrassment? She’s dumb as a brick, can’t speak a grammatical sentence, panics when she’s caught in a lie and couldn’t tell the truth because she hasn’t a clue what it is. Speaker of the House? The same position held by Henry Clay, Sam Rayburn and many others of like character?? Hardly believable.
Conservatives told people about this guy. All those conservative dems out there who "wanted to make history" are now regereting the living daylights out of it! Obama and these leftist dems are going down politically one way or the other.
DBM/DPTP: "Angry Mob"
Won't they be disappointed when I show up in my construction clothes because I don't have enough time to go home and shower/change first.
I have had enough of these self appointed "LEADERS" telling me what is best for me.
These elected officials have become parasites living off of MY blood, sweat and toil. They feel that they are entitled to at least ONE THIRD or MORE of MY PAY!!
I ask you, what in the HELL did they do to deserve ANY of MY MONEY?! What do I get in return for my financial sacrifice?
Mocked, ridiculed, disrespected (by the president of all people), put down, falsely accused and ignored.
I have had ENOUGH!
Are you listening Nanci? Are you Listening Rahm? Are you listening Obama (Incidentally, until you produce some documentation about your citizenship you will not be my prez. Not that that matters to you.)
2010 can't get here soon enough.
If he keeps on present course, the American people may look back and say to themselves that the signs were there but we were to blind to see them. Ires, Wright, ect ect.
Did anyone really believe a dirty Chicago thug politician was going to bring real reform
.....Apparently only filthy hippies can petition government.....
I once saw a parading group bussed to DC for a protest that said they were “Pregnant Nuns For Peace” There is depth tho the Moonbat bench beyond hippies
Republicans are inept and stand for nothing and only oppose democrats because they are in full minority.
......panics when she’s caught in a lie......
As opposed to bill Clinton who was dubbed by a US Senator “an uncommonly good liar”.
The Princess is an uncommonly bad liar
Let’s surprise the dems at the next election, and kick them all out of office, and give their Great One in the White House a Republican congress.
How does that work? What public relations genius says: "OK, we need these protests to seem like an authentic backlash of real Americans. Make sure everyone has enough Nazi paraphernalia!"
This shows how nancy's back-to-back claims demolish each other.
Nancy, welcome to "La La Land".
In a normal world, this woman would be housed in a padded room stringing beads and making clay bunnies.
Won't make much difference unless about half of the Republicans can be replaced as well.
I wonder how set in his ways The Great Spreader is about his health-care plan? I’m sure he and his henchpeople are being besieged by Dem congresscritters asking him to moderate some of the more screwball provisions in a mostly screwball program. Naturally Obama does not want to change one period or comma (despite never having read the thing), he just wants it rammed down the throats of the American public.... who know a poison pill when they see one. He’ll sulk in the corner for a while but will most likely come up with some revision to placate his own scared party members and to fool the public once more.
I don’t get the astro turf reference.
