DEMS UNGLUED: MELTDOWN ON HEALTH-CARE CRITICS
NY Post ^ | August 8, 2009 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 08/08/2009 2:21:40 AM PDT by Scanian

THE Democratic Party is pan icking, 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 protesters 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 PR 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.

This should help his polls (snicker).

"How stupid can you get? Your poll numbers are tanking.
You screwed up healthcare. You started a revolution.
Now I gotta trot out your frickin' wife and kids in those
ugly Gap clothes to make you look good again."

That's funny. Even funnier: some of these protestors were filthy hippies back in the day!

“We want you to succeed”

“I won”

Ah. We are all convicts and criminals now. The Democrate street sweepers and the media are starting their not-so-EPA engines of vile provocative and criminalizing language against free speech.

I am sick and tired of people who say that if you
debate and you disagree with this administration
somehow you’re not patriotic!! We should stand up
and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate
and disagree with any administration!

Yeah, these pins are like metaphores of drilling garbage in their heads. These patches are the new socialy acceptable camo for priviledged “persecuted” retards who want to avoid flak for their retardness by oozing garbage slogans. If they do not fit the bill of denial, who does?

Nancy and Barbara are turning into doddering old women before our eyes. Sad, but fitting.

Have to beg to differ here. They always were doddering old women, its just that finally others are beginning to see a truth that was only apparent to us...

Sad? Who's sad? I'm not sad. Beauty is only skin deep but these two's ugliness goes straight to the bone.

If SanFranNan thinks the swastika represented the protesters’ own sentiments, she’s even stupider than we thought.

Stupid? No--she realizes the traitorous media will accept her spin, promote it, and soon it becomes reality.

Alinsky time, single out one cast of characters out, personalize it and divide the cults of the Left and conquer them. I vote that the union SEIU be singled out, held responsible for illegal activites and threatened with prosecution and above all else held responsible. Then we move on its enablers, single one out (I vote for Pelosi), personalize her responsibility (her rhetoric)and vow prosecution. The next target would be a large financial backer to her, hold them responsible, or the Blue Dogs, but either way never let any of them hide behind any abstract “authority.”

We need to keep the focus on the rotten Obamacare bill and not on the meetings themselves.

Exactly.

I clicked on this posting a couple of times just because of the headline "Dems Unglued." That headline brings a big smile.
