It’s ugly threefold:
1) The subject at hand: socialized medicine. Everyone knows it’s the objective even if they are under strict orders not to reveal it.
2) The attempts to stage-manage public forums (fora?).
3) The inevitable portrayal of anti-NHS types as thugs and gatecrashers.
Sorry to say it but the TEA party gang were, for all their good intentions, sitting ducks as the left takes no prisoners.
Like all bullies, they have been caught wrong-footed when their opposition poses a real and immediate threat.
I think there are more and more realizing that the left has malignant intentions and will use whatever tactics they can to implement them.
No more “benefit of the doubt” for them.
They have revealed who their ideological “father” is. Hint - Rules for Radicals was dedicated to him.
Feh... totally predictable that the DNC would attack the protesters. It’s their way of saying “don’t worry about all the flak, it’s just a bunch of outside agitators... come back to Washington and vote to kill the old people. It’ll be ok”
It won’t be ok. They do this, there’s going to be another house cleaning next year.
Actually, I’ve had a theory, don’t know how likely it is, that the churn is going to continue for some time in American politics. People didn’t vote the rats in, they voted the pubes out. Now they may sweep all the rats out and vote new pubs back in. It’s the only way to have term limits in this stupid system.
