What Peggy fails to understand in her little Upper East Side bubble is that Obama and his inner circle calculated this effort entirely. It is fully intentional and designed to produce the very confusion, conflict, and turmoil we see today.
In the midst of such upheaval, one's political adversaries may be motivated and moved to anger, but they can also be identified and systematically engaged. I believe that is the next stage of the plan now beginning to unfold.
I have little doubt that key opponents of the health care plan - and cap-and-trade, and Cash for Clunkers, and the blizzard of other initiatives thrown at the American people like confetti - are being tracked and targeted by the White House and its political allies.
Soon they will call out the troops: ACORN, SEIU, ANSWER, Rainbow/PUSH, ThinkProgress, La Raza, and hundreds of organizations you've probably never heard of, but which are linked through an intricate network of leftist activism, and funded by multi-billion dollar foundations like Tides, MacArthur, Pew, and Carnegie.
Think I'm paranoid? I suspect that very soon, you will be too.
